i remember chris rogers saying something about being able to use the bose amp with an aftermarket headunit..

You can order a harness kit to convert from an aftermarket head unit's output into a configuration that can be plugged in to the Bose setup.

The guys on 350Z-Tech recommend the PAC R-OEM harness.

I'll be looking at ordering one from the US in the near future, as I've got a new double DIN head unit ready to go in to the car.

Well not everyone is a handy electrician, and those products sold in U.S. websites are basically for a quick solution as ppl there want something very practical rather than fiddling around with custom made thing...

:D

Yes I've known the website for quite some time but swapping to that means i'm loosing the bose sound, I'll see how it goes after it landed and complied whether the bose sound is good enough, as I'm not really an audiophile.

I changed mine with JVC kw-805, it sounds way better than bose deck, but better to get an aftermarket amp to run it more power.

the stock bose has too much bass!!!

Yeah, I've tried to be really diplomatic about the whole thing but pulling over 10rwkW by changing the intake tube and moving the location of the AFM set off my bs meter.

Considering they said they "tuned the length", but they only had the car for 6 hours. How many different metal intake pipes can you fabricate, install, drive to the dyno shop down the road, strap down onto the dyno, and power run in 6 hours? Even if they did it all via CAD by flow-testing the intake of the VQ35DE just north of the throttle body so a computer could calculate the best tube length and diameter and only require the fabrication of one tube, it would still take a fair amount of time.

The guy also reckons he ran a 1:13 flat on his first time out at Wakefield Park in a dead stock car that he'd only owned for a week or two. Sure, Rick Bates managed a mid 1:12 in it during Motor Magazine's PCOTY....but Bates is a pretty damned good driver with plenty of track experience.

I'm not saying he's intentionally having people on, but its quite possible he's been given the bum steer by others and he's fallen for it. The claims don't resolve well with my experiences with the car.

Hey Scathing,

Yeah completely agree both about the lap time and the intake. Not saying it's untrue, just would like to see both in person.

Cheers

Bobby

yeah but why order when you don't have to? i htink chriswas saying that it can be wired in with knowledge rather than having to fork out for an expensive pre-made harness..

You can.

But with this thing you can just plug-and-play. As rs73 said we're not all handy with electrical stuff and getting it wrong could be catastrophic. It also lets you elegantly "return to stock" should you ever need to, since you don't have to cut any of the connectors etc.

LOL this thread is becoming V35 air intake discussion and air pressure in your eardrum generated by SPL (sound pressure level) from the audio ha ha.

do you run your KW805 into stock bose amp the aftermarket amp or not use the bose amp alltogether? And stock speakers or aftermarket too?

i run with stock bose amp and speaker. The sound is more clear than before, but not much bass as stock bose.

I will put on aftermarket amp to see how it go.

I think it is standard on the V35's Skylines. I have an M35 Stagea though.....not standard on them! Don't know why either, as it has the same airbox...even has the hole with a removable plastic cover.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
