Could you furnish me a price on a parcel cover please. this is the pull over one right? Mine was imported without it, as so many seem to be (well over here in NZ anyway) Guessing I'm going to have to drop my trousers and grab my ankles (sorry for that vision people - right before a weekend too!) price wise, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm dead keen on getting one of these too, although don't bother trying to get a new one from Nissan - been there, done that, and I'm still getting over the shock of the price.

I'm keen to buy it but I'm in NZ. In fairness to the Australian counterparts I'm happy to let them have a first shout at it. If no one else wants to take it from your hands, could you email me on [email protected]. I'm very keen on grabbing it, but would need to work out shipping costs to me in Auckland New Zealand. Slow is fine.

can't check my email in the weekend, so I may not get back to you till mOnday if you email.

guys would it be too much trouble for someone to take a picture of the 'locking' mechanism on each end of the cover bar. I wonder if the arrangement is similar to other Nissan wagon's like the Cefiro or Primera. I'm looking to stick stereo gear in my boot space so would really like to eventually geta cargo pull back cover to keep stuff like that out of the eye's of the few that choose a different lifestyle than others on a different side of the railway lines.

Have a look in nizmans photos if you need any ideas on sub and amp placement in the boot while still retaining a usable cargo area there is a pretty neat install pic there.

nizmans photo's?!? sub...amp...boot...where where where where

:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

do a search for Nizman. then check out his gallery. Theres a whole heap of photos in there to browse through. If you click the very right most of the five photos at the bottom it jumps across the gallery to the next 5 photos. Saw the amp install in there, and I had decided to do exactly the same thing to mine originally. Good to see the concept works. I was going to adapt it more a bit. It was originally going to be a solid box, carpetted in the same carpet colour as the interior to blend it in better. Solid box was going to have fans in it to breathe for the Amp, but the enclosure would also house my second battery. We have now moved to another idea though. Using the spare wheel well to mount the Amp and the second battery. Sizing shows it will fit in there. Situation is that ordinarily I won't have a spare wheel though. On long trips I will have to carry one in the rear. Keeps the amp and stuff completely out of prying eye site though. My concerns are moisture or any leaks pooling water around the Amp/battery in the wheel well. May abandon the idea and go back to the constructed box. To be done shortly though, before Xmas is the plan.

cool plan for your setup - would love to see it :D

why do you need a second battery? PS2 , DVD player etc to power?????

found the pics , thanks for the guidance,

I think i'd put mine behind a grill, defo, saying that the windows are tinted around the boot area anyhow, but i wouldnt want the speaker to get mashed by an escaped Sprite bottle after a supermarket trip, :P

Second battery is just so that the stereo system does not drain the main system too much. Allows you to park up at the beach or wherever withthe stereo system on, with minimal risk of a flat battery to try and start the car with for the trip home. Charges off the charging circuit while car is running, isolated while car is turned off, so the only battery to be drained y the stereo is the secondary one.

On the subject of bodykits, does anyone know of where i would be able to get a rear wing? nothing rediculous like the ones on a few of the jap sites, just a modest wing to stop my car looking so much like a volvo. i've already got a slight bodykit on the car, skirts, rear pods, front bar and eyelids, but it's missing the wing.

any help is appreciated

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
