Have a small issue where the car just cuts out/dies usualy when stoped or ideling, not like a stall more like is just shut off, then the VDC Slip and SES (engine light) come at next start. When I go to start next it take longer to turn over, about 3 times as long. (this is the second time this has happened). After first instence i hit the web and Found similar stories on g35driver and such, people having the same issues are saying it is the "Cam position sensor" so naturally i assumed it was the same thing even found part numbers for both bank1 and bank2 sensors... but today I notice that this hose was not on all the way it had come lose as I had not put the clamp back on correctly when I installed my new Cat Converters about 4 weeks ago :/ *kicks self*

So I am lil bit concerned as i have no idea how long this hose has been detacted.Is it really bad if i drove with this hose disconected? pic below

Eeeeep that unattached hose means the engine is sucking unfiltered air into the engine which could contain dirt particles. Get that shit back on ASAP!!!!!

Although i have seen other people and heard of other people opening their bonnet and finding this hose not attached and there was no problem at all. Its just luck if it sucks in a lil rock and blows the engine (worst case scenario)

Is your car hard to start sometimes??

My car use to randomly stall now and again then a week or 2 later it was hard to start (kept cranking but didn't fire up. Unplugged the sensor then cranked it, it would start up but took a lil longer then usual) when my Cam Position Sensors where stuffed.

Drivers side sensor was stuffed, i just replaced both so i didnt have to replace the other one later on.

Yes, they're the same as 350z, and $340 is about right from nissan.

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
