MEH!

My CD player won't eject a CD and i'm getting 'CD Err F0.' I reckon it's just cheaper to sort out a connection to my ipod. Is there an AUX at the back of the player or do I need to buy an adaptor, similar to the V35's.

Oh and I didn't realise VE SS did the 100 in only 5.5secs, dayyamm

There are heaps of threads about "fixing" the CD error, have a search in here or in the V35 section.

For an iPod connection to the OEM head unit, the USA Spec PA15-NIS is what you'd be after for simple plug and play (although you will need to get behind the headunit)

I use that same USA Spec set up. Awesome sound quality and VERY easy to fit and set up. Cost was under $150 delivered from the US. It also has a spare audio input if you want to hook something else to it and also charges the iPhone.

scchwweet, thanks for link.

I ordered mine here. Mine was a tad cheaper as the dollar was higher at the time

Hi All

Had a strange idling problem with my ARX - I was driving the car for good 2 hours then pulled over

strangely the car idles so low where it feels like its going to die. Any thoughts?

Also, can anyone PM me service details for each KMS ie: 10,000kms service and so fort

Thanks everyone

Cheers!!!!

So that will fit the non bose system? Does an installation manual come with it?

Yep fits the single DIN factory deck. Comes with instructions although its very easy to install. All you need to do is name the playlists on your iPhone with Nissan in them.

I run:

Nissan 1 - artists

Nissan 2 - albums

Nissan 3 - all songs

Nissan 4 - blank

Nissan 5 - blank

Nissan 6 - blank

You can set them how you like but you need to name them 1-6 with Nissan.

Nissan 5 allow direct iPhone control rather than control from the deck. If in 1-3 playlists you can jump song/albums/artist via the 1-6 buttons on the head unit.

Overall its a great unit to connect your iPhone/ipod.

Import monster/ streeter?

On another note, Im looking at wheels at the moment. Im not happy with the flap in the sidewall I currently have on one, especially considering I have a drive to Melbourne coming up. Not replacing tyres on the 17s, rather move to 18s.

Looking at either 350z track 18x8+30 or CE28S 18x8.5+30.

Ive seen pics of the 350z track fitment and it looks good. Ive also seen people with 19x8.5+22 and it looks good. Would i be right in thinking 18x8.5+30 will be a good fit?

Not sure if you remember how mine sit but they are 9+30 and I wouldn't go any lesser than that. I think a 8.5+30 will sit in the guard too far.

I'm running +37 by 8.5 and they don't stick in to far.....you can always run some spacers if you want more track!

No the 8.5 will sit out another 6mm and in another 6mm. To fill the guards I would go either a 9+30 or 8.5+22 or if you want them Out the guard a little go for 9+25. These sizes keep good clearance inside to the suspension arm.

PM me your number and I'll send you a pic of how mine sit, can't upload on here as I accidentally killed my MacBook yesterday ?

Well the 350Z Track wheels look ok, based on the pics Ironpaw has posted:

001-Copy.jpg

002-Copy.jpg

003-Copy.jpg

004-Copy.jpg

005-Copy.jpg

So if the 8.5 is going to give me another 6mm that sounds fine. I don't need to fill the guards right up, and I don't really want them out the guards.

Just wanted to make sure they'd clear, and try and get an idea of how the 18x8.5+30 would look compared to the 350Z 18x8+30, because I knew there were pics online of the 350Z wheels. Might give the guy a call and try and drop round and test fit on the weekend.

Cheers for the help, PM sent.

All depends on how much low you have.

The moar low, the bigger offset you can tuck in- to a point. If you dropped Ironpaws car 1 inch all round, the wheels would be tucked in and IMO wouldn't look great.

Just type in "wheel offset calculator" into Google, and that will tell you how much it will change by. Stock is 17x7 +45. Go from there. We have seen up to 18x9.5 +30... or maybe even a tougher offset on M35s.

Yep, your car is pretty damn low from memory Ryan! I'd be thinking you'll need 10mm spacers at a minimum to make them look even remotely close to "fitment".

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
