  1. Hi Guys

    I replaced my Bose head deck with an Alpine one and all is working well. The subwoofer is not run off the RCA'a coming out of the head deck.

    I have noticed that the subwoofer is hardly noticable.

    Have others had this issue and what have you done about it? Do I need to replace the sub? Run a separate amp? or both?

  2. When I was mucking around with mine I did consider a VQ30DET conversion. Decided to not go that way at the time, however, think it would be worth considering in future. Can pick up VQ30DET's for under $2000. Would have to look at sensor compatability......

  3. I agree with VQ30DET, keep it nissan and apparrently the standard bottom end can take big KWs. They are quite cheap to pick up. The gearbox could be an issue as the VQ 6 speed (ie 350Z) is said not to be too fragile, most people use the 300zx box with a bellhousing mod. I would love to do this mod on something!

  4. It could be possible.

    Can you explain exactly what you are thinking of doing and why?

    Unless yours has died, it is not likely to be worth the trouble/risk.

    Think the 2001 300GT will be closely related to the 350GT sedan (8 speed auto), with a type 1 engine computer.

    If you wanted to install a NISMO one, it is likely to be for a vehicle with a type 2 engine computer. If this is the case, the engine warning light is wired differently. Type 1 is wired directly, where as, type 2 is communicated through the CAN system.

    There are other differences you need to consider, that can impact, VDC and Navigation to name a few.

    Hope this helps

  5. Had a bit of a look around and found one on Japanese Yahoo with the same numbers as yours, current price $98 (AUS) +++

    Controller Assy BCM

    Item turn: 284B1-AC000

    Price 18700 Yen

    Have a look at this site;

    Or you can go through import monster, who can buy it for you and send it to you;

    There will be some risk in this so you would need to weigh it up. Replacing the BCM would mean you would have to reset your ecu and keys to the new one, not sure what else.

    Hope this is useful

  6. Ofcourse there is the obvious, the series 1 350GT-8 sedan (VQ35DE) being an 8 speed cvt auto, with known issues and very expensive oil. Also had paddles for the manual shifts. Post 2005 became a 5 speed auto, same as the coupe.

    Also VQ25DETT and VQ30DE variants came with the 4 speed auto box.

    Think you can put bigger wheels on the coupe.

  7. Thanks, Nigel

    Sounds very good. Send me a PM.

    Thanks for the comments scathing, just thought there was too much risk mucking around with the diff on ebay. Someone else bought it in the end (mmm maybe I alerted them to it). Didn't want to get stuck with another part I don't really need. Anybody after a 6 speed box? haha

  8. Thanks for the comments, scathing.

    Understand diff ratio will not affect speedo accuracy.

    There is a 2006 manual Z33 diff on ebay for $250, would have bought it if it were right. The US guys quote $500 for the parts for a ratio change. Then I would have to get someone to do it (I can install the diff). Probably $1000+

    Am looking at buying a low km 2005 Z33 auto diff from a wrecker, which will give me lsd (stop VDC going off all the time), just it is expensive, $800+.
