Hi all,

Picked up my v35 yesterday and after 5 years of r33 ownership was definitely ready for the change. I have wanted one for the last year and after Pulp was nice enough to give me a lap around the block in his about 6 months ago it has had to be a manual. I was expecting I would have to import but was lucky enough to find exactly what I wanted here in Perth... a white november 04 coupe, 6 speed, premium and sunroof with the optional 19s. Is in sensational condition as you would hope with only 16,000kms on the clock.

I am thinking it has what is considered the 2005 upgrade as it has the alloy centre console and is missing the brembos... which was never a big draw card for me anyway. Also has a minidisc not tape slot which I guess was part of the changes, no idea what else there was though.

So, onto the questions...

I have already bought (and had delivered incredibly quickly, thank you) an FM expander from Chris Rogers and swear in the last year of browsing saw either here or g35 driver an instruction set on taking apart the dash with some photos too. I can't seem to find it now so if anyone knows where I can find it that would be super.

Next, with the rubbish aussie dollar does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to get clear bumper indicators at the moment? Nissan? OS?

Finally, HIDs... I may need to let the bank account recover a little first but assuming the worst with butchering at compliance, what sort of cash are we looking at to pick up the required factory parts to get em happening.

Anyway few first night pics attached, needs a good clean and some better photos but all in good time.

Cheers!

The only difference is that the manual shift removal isn't a clip as in the video, Simply twist it and it will come off, then lift the console up.

eBay - type G35 in the search, the world is your oyster.

No idea on this one, but let me know when you find out as im also interested ;-)

Nice photos, very smooth looking ride, especially with 16,000km - lets hope its not a wind back some of them floating out there!

Thanks for the kind words guys... I 100% agree about the handbreak, bit lazy of Nissan in my opinion.

Thanks for the link for the dash removal too g33k... I also found this one last night after posting (its auto but close enough) in case anyone else is searching in future:

http://g35driver.com/forums/audio-video-el...sirius-sat.html

and another new question... what is the 'DISP' button for on the stereo, the one next to CD..MD..AM/FM buttons? I assume it means 'display' but it doesnt do anything.

Oh and Chris, could you let me know how the fm expander parts go together, I can definitely hazzard a guess and I'm sure it will be more obvious when I get it all apart but probably better to know for sure prior.

the pigtail of the expander faces teh radio. so its : two pin antenna plug into female socket->BE then back into the radio. only use one set of the leads tape the others back.

that dash is easier to pull than the earlier one. drop the centre console off,pull the top long thin trim out on top of the dash and from there pop the shifter plate out remove the two visible screws and unclip the sides and get all those screws. pop the area around the AC display out and get that screw. pop the whole thing out and go.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
