Brace yourselves for it is, a long read..... I was driving along on Sunday when out of the blue the Engine light came on and the revs dropped to idle (Like I was in Neutral) a few seconds later the revs came back and the engine light went away. I pulled over turned the engine off and checked the engine bay for anything but couldn't see/smell/hear anything out of the ordinary. I started the car up fine, drove for another 20-30ft and lost everything had no power what so ever and had oil,engine and some other light come up.I tried starting it back up but it wouldn't start. I ended up getting towed to my local mechanic. They checked it out on Monday and low and behold it started first time, they took it for a drive still fine but when they went to move the car again it died on them, they checked for error codes and apparently they got some kind of Immobiliser code error. Basically the car thinks there is no key and cuts of fuel/power to engine? The mechanic is not to sure what's going on and said perhaps the aftermarket immobiliser is interfering with the stock immobiliser. He suggested to drive around without the aftermarket immobiliser fob near the keyring (that's where the aftermarket receiver is placed) and see if the engine still cuts out and try my spare key. Well I picked the car up yesterday, it started up fine ( I used my spare key as well), about 10 minutes later, I'm about to go up a fairly steep hill, I put the car into manual mode so it goes down to 4th gear (to get higher revs for the hill) and then about 5 seconds later the engine light comes on and revs drop to idle. Fortunately that went away after a few seconds so I managed to get up the hill. The whole way home, every now and then the car would feel like it was misfiring/choking and it felt like it would go back to neutral/engine light at any stage but it didn't. I'm really confused as to what's going on here, the only thing I can think of is I gave the engine bay a bit of a clean on Saturday and perhaps I have moved something? This has never happened before with the car and I've never had any problems with the car either. Any help would be GREAT!!!

Was it worth getting headers? What kind of power did you end up making?

Yun, do you have aftermarket headers on your V35?

Tomei will Fit? I was going to get them anyway, would be great if they were to fit!

Where else would I be able to get headers from?

Sounds silly but I am looking at getting some headers from the US of A but I just want to check will the headers for LHD V35 (G35) fit on RHD V35?

Rob, What wheel specs?

Sounds great. Bet it sounds better in person though

Yeah I only got the TDX2 no ART pipes, I wanted to keep it legal however I'm sure its already illegal due to its loudness haha So all up it was: 1635 (TDX2)+ 547.57 (delivery to my door)+ 348.52(Custom and GST charges) $2531.09 Please keep your opinions to yourself on whether you would spend this much or not Even with stock cats, there is still a fair bit of 'gargle' from the exhaust. With HFC and espically ART pipes I should imagine there would be a lot more 'gargle'. I might look into getting some HFC but I don't want ART pipes.

I got the TDX2 exhaust system from Motordyne about 2-3 weeks ago and it has been on the car for about 2 weeks now. First off installation didn't take that long (I didn't do it myself got an exhaust place to do it for me), it was apparently quite tight in some places but I expected that from what I have read off the interwebs. When I drove the car for the first time, my initial reaction was 'this is LOUD!'. There is a kind of drone whilst in the lower rev range but when you open the throttle, it sounds amazing! The best bit about it is if your driving along the highway or at a set speed its as quiet as stock. I got some pics and a video (although with some rather tame revving of the engine): Box: The whole system laid out: Video: If anyone is interested I can post how much it ended up costing all up, for anybody thinking of getting it.

From what I understand test pipes replace the original cats to a straight through pipe making your exhaust system illegal

Interested to see the outcome if you buy the projectors

Well there goes that idea thanks guys

Hey guys, For me this sounds like one of, if not the best sounding exhausts for the V35 however with delivery to Australia on top of the asking price it becomes quite expensive, heres the link: http://www.motordyneengineering.com/index.php?cPath=1_6&osCsid=11afe5dacbe71dc83964fcd52d25b844 Would anybody be interested in a group buy to try and reduce the price for delivery? I haven't asked Motordyne yet because I want to see if there is any interest at all cheers

Well it states they are made in Japan so you would think RHD I asked a Japanese friend to ask 'if they are for RHD or LHD car' and the seller replied with 'they are for RHD and LHD car'..........which doesn't help what so ever

Have you seen these? http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/156802948

These say they are geniune Japan nissan so they might be RHD but the photo down the bottom shows a LHD G35 : http://page.auctions...ction/156802948 and sorry for hijack but these will fit and be plug and play?: http://page14.auctio...tion/s275576931

cheers

vQ350gT, Sorry if this has been said before somewhere but what size and offset are the works?

I'd be interested!

Update I bought a navi disc and now have a ladies voice when I press the far left button

Ahhhh gotcha......I don't have a navi disc, I guess you can see where this is going... Is there any chance I can get one off a member or a copy? thanks

I got the ETC unit next to the DVD rom I tried the far left button but it didn't beep like when you press info or back is this normal?

Hey guys I've had my V35 for about 1 week now and I am loving it despite having the classic central locking, window malfunction and CD 'Error Fo' altogether . I have already contacted Chris about getting those parts fixed and a few other things. What I was wanting to ask is, I keep reading some people have the females voice and some don't. However I can't seem to find an answer as to whether it was a extra you could get or a setting on the screen that I need to change? Any help would be great (If this has already been asked please link me to the thread, I have searched but maybe I missed it )
