Nice work! congrats

hmmm interesting, thanks for your reply guys. Looks like I may just get them installed without a tune then just a reset What else gets reset with a 'ECU reset' though? I believe Glen's ECU is in Texas because

Hey Guys I just wanted to get some opinions please: I just got some headers and HFC's and from what I've read, installing both of them would mean my V35 would be running very lean? ( My mods so far are: drop in K&N filter, Z Tube, TDX2 exhaust) So I was planning on waiting to save up some more pennies, get the headers and HFC's installed then get it tuned ASAP at east coast customs in Brissy with the UP Rev software, so I may not damage the engine. Am I being a bit too over the top about having to get a tune straight away? My V35 is my DD so it gets driven very often.

Update time: Received Scott spares sensor today, just swapped it over and all good. I got climate control back! Thanks Scott

This just happened to me, came up with Crank Angle sensor error Got it replaced and haven't had any problems since Actually a really common problem, I think with older models though

Thanks Scott, I'm going to see the mechanic later today so I'll hopefully find out

Yeah its still connected I disconnected it and plugged it back in but it made no difference! Thanks

There's not much holding it in, there was one plug that lined up so I used that.

I think it finishes it off nicely Yeah it cost $120 delivered to my door, maybe a tad expensive for some plastic but oh well

Nothing too exciting but I got a LHD battery cover from ConceptZ:

Thanks Chris, I'll have a better look today

Thanks for that

Hey Gerard, what mods have you got?

Yeah I found it, but it was plugged in I disconnected it and plugged it back in and there was still hot air coming through. I phoned the mechanic and he seemed a bit dumbfounded by it however he did mention that the battery died on them at one stage, could this have anything to do with it?

Alright update time Took into mechanics, ended up getting slip, vdc and engine light on, on the way to the mechanics. Crank angle sensor error plus immobiliser error, replaced the crank angle sensor and removed aftermarket immobiliser. They also cleared the errors. Picked it up today, seems to drive fine (no engine lights, revs are fine) however now the aircon is blowing hot air unless its set to 18 degrees it blows in cold air but not 'air con' air. From what I have quickly looked up on the internet this might be the internal temperature sensor has not been plugged back in after the immobiliser was removed. You can hear the click in the engine bay when the air con is switched on and the fans as well.

excuse the bump I just want to confirm, will 350z (VQ35DE) headers fit V35 skylines?(VQ35DE) Seems silly to ask but not to sure if the engine bay in the Z is totally different to our V35's

That's awesome Sam Congrats So want to do this after a few more mods Do you mind me asking how much it was to tune?

In for results, what mods have you got?

Yep I don't feel safe driving it anyways let alone damaging it even more, hopefully it will be able to get to the mechanics on Monday Thanks for your help guys, I'll keep you updated

Thanks for that Brandon The funny thing is I checked the oil a few days before because I kept reading about problems with the G35 burning a lot of oil, on the facebook page but from what I could tell the oil level was fine, still hadn't moved from the last time I checked it. I will check today. Why should I keep it running to see if it stalls?

Just a bit of an update I haven't had chance to get to the mechanics yet, hopefully next week now I haven't been driving the car. Just took it for a very short drive (not even 5 minutes), seemed fine pulled up in the driveway put in neutral and revved it a few times and again was fine however I revved it to 4000rpm and as the revs were getting below 1500rpm I could feel it choking/stuttering and then it got to idling revs and the revs just kept dropping....bit of a stutter and then the engine died. Tried to start it, would here it turning over but no spark happening, engine light and battery light were on. Took the key out, swiped the aftermarket immobiliser (not sure whether that would have made a difference?) put the key back in and started up fine but now I have the Engine light on all the time? And everytime I revved it above 3000rpm, once the revs got below 1500rpm-idling, it would stutter, revs would drop very low, almost killing the engine but the revs would come back up to idling before the engine could die.

I would be interested

Nope no engine lights, the only time something comes up on the dash is when I am driving and then the car goes into neutral and the engine light comes. This only happens for a few seconds and then disappears. Wouldn't explian why there was an immobiliser error in the system though Does anyone know if the 350Z error codes are the same as the 350GT codes? Just a thought

Thanks Sean Yep I lost power steering as well, basically it stalled even though its an automatic and then it wouldn't start up. It would just turnover no ignition, so no fuel I'm guessing. I already messaged Chris haha first person I asked, he said he can't do much without seeing it in person. I had another look at the engine bay today, even started the car up, let it warm up, couldn't hear/see/smell anything out of the ordinary however I did get a waft of fuel smell every now and then from the exhaust which would suggest a misfire perhaps? I was going to book the car in for service soon anyway, so I've got it booked in next Monday. I'm getting the spark plugs changed so they might find something

Thanks for the quick reply guys I was thinking it must be something to do with cleaning the engine bay, like I said I've never had a problem with the car before... But I only had a damp rag, it wasn't like the engine bay was covered in water. To restart the car is that disconnecting one terminal on the battery?
