Hmmm. D in auto uses 5th above 50kmph all the time unless accelerating.

Ah i see. Well the only thing thats kinda hard is the trans service. The diff is easy and the spark plugs just take time. Youtube has lots of videos on servicing this car.

Just a small update. Im not using my current HTPC as a carpc any more. Ive decided to recycle a netbook with a single core atom processor. This has now been modded to have a couple of wires soldered onto the motherboards power button. These 2 wires then go to an auto power up set of relays which basically send a .5second pulse to the motherboard power button to turn it on when i turn the key to accessories. It also has a usb connection to disable the relays if the computer is already on in case of a double engine start situation. I made this with the help of a post on mp3car.com Shut down will occur when the dc-dc power supply is turned off by the key triggering hibernation of windows, this is set in the windows power functions Centrafuse is up and running with destinator australia. Ive just ordered a usb gps for this also. Next is to mod the nav screen to stay on while driving.

Go buy castrol edge 5w30 from repco or supercheap $69. Get an oil filter for a 350z ryco brand $9. Air filter any brand$15. Drain oil. change filters. put almost 99% of the oil in then your done. Does the trans actually need doing?

Thanks brad. Will you be doing free english conversions on that day Rofl.

Anyone in adelaide able to copy the jap nav disk for me?

carmen.... i have the older one with the built in dual trace sillyscope and the newer touch screen blue one... sorry cant remember model names, but you get the idea. Also have all the european add ons.

This car still has a transponder style immobiliser and will need a genuine key to start it. No locksmith can make a new key and code the transponder without the original. The best they will be able to do is unlock the door. The reason it costs so much to do at the dealer is because the will need to fit a new body control module with matched key, not just code a new key. I have a $15,000 scanner that can code most keys and do all OBDII stuff, but i cant code a new key unless i have the old. Nightcrawler is correct in what he has said. PS.... this is what i do for a living.

Runner4life maybe you should defect yourself? :-)

Did u use a pop charger or just k&n instert in the stock housing?

If the seat went back but wont come forwards again it should be the switch. I see this all the time with electric windows.... which is the same electric principal as electric seats. ie one switch and one motor controls both up and down or back and forward. if you can take the switch out open it up and clean the contacts with a nail file.

nah not keen on night hills driving...... new date.

We should be free on that date. not sure about that lengh of a drive though. would rather meet near foot hills, head to lobethol then back via basket range.

Yep same.

Sgic. agreed value of 25k. cost us about $600 with a $450 excess.

Haha. Thought so.

runner4life so whats your job?

Can you post more details on that? Maybe start a new thread?

Oh, weekend but the 9th or 16th June is good. Krystle.

We are in. Btw we have a decent dslr and motorsport photgraphy experience

Has anyone used the 2005 onwards 350z suspension spring and shocks on a v35 coupe? I understand the rear springs are stiffer and the shocks have had the rebound and damping adjusted for better ride on the 350z, but how will this go on the v35? Really only doing this for the lowering effect and they are the only 350z springs i can find. Some say that the revised is better for the v35 providing you use the matched shocks and others say the opposite on g35driver......

can you pm me a price delivered to adelaide please, or are you in adelaide?

If anyone has 350z springs sitting around let me know if you would like to sell please.

And what does it do for my car?
