Right guys this is what i need. I have the spacer /z-tube / k&n drop in filter. I need those installed. I also havent done any kind of a service on my car and its nearly at 70,000. I can supply the parts unless you can get them cheaper . All i need is some one who knows our cars and cares about our cars to install everything i have.

Im in sydney and can travel to your door. Not sure how long it would take but i guess if u have the right tool and enjoy working under the hood this is for you.

Personally i spill the oil when trying to top it up so its not my field.

Im willing to pay so PM your quotes and il get back to ya.

The drop in filter you can do yourself. It's a 2 second job to unclip and remove one, and fit the other. Everything else is also quite easy, but I wouldn't trust myself to do it since I'm useless with tools.

Try The Engine Whisperer. Andrew's done a bit of work to my Z33 in the past (he fitted the catback exhaust and the Popcharger) and he's very good mechanically.

If I remember correctly manda lives down south. If you want a workshop close by, try IS Motor Racing in Rockdale. They used to look after the Auto Salon 350Z, and I know they've got quite a few Z/V customers now. Indy's got a pretty good rep as a mechanic.

Otherwise, Pro Concept for sure. Call Joshua - its easier than emailing him.

i wouldnt have an idea about the price, tho however no doubt he can do the job for you.

always call him, because he is quite busy.

Spoke to josh today at pro concept. Very nice guy easy to talk to. I was suprised at the prices he quoted me.

He quoted $190-$260 for a minor service depending on the oil

And for the install for the spacer / filter / z-tube was $120

So all up under $400 for everything i guess thats not too bad for a good professional job.

Also any minor service includes a free ecu scan so i get that too.

ecu scan?? you mean for error codes? lucky i can do that myself now with my scaner..

as for the filter and z tube that would be really straight forward...

yes on the pro concept website it says free ecu scan with every minor service. As for the filter and tube like i said no idea , i put petrol in and go .

No offence but the air filter replacement on a V is not a 2 second job. I thought so too at the beginning but it involves removing the whole air box before being able to replace the panel filter.

Here is a DIY video:

If you are doing the filter replacement, the Z tube can be installed at the same time since you have got everything out already.

Seriously? On a 350Z you just unclip the holder and pull the panel filter out with it. Having to pull the entire airbox out is some seriously bad design.

Just having a look at this pic:

P1020634b.jpg

Is the Infiniti setup the same as the Nissan one?

Aren't those 2 clips on the middle of the airbox (between the "Power Duct" and the lowest arrow) all you need to pull open to replace a panel filter?

I'll have to watch the vid later - no access to YouTube from here.

Setup looks identical to the V and has those clips too but you won't be able to retrieve the filter until you have removed the airbox. Maybe you should go to your Z and try removing the filter. If you are not back in 2secs we'll understand :)

I've got a pod filter on the car now.

To pull out the stock panel filter element was a case of undoing those 2 lips, and yanking the holder out.

I just watched the video. Wow. That is disgustingly bad design. How can Nissan make a car that's that hard to service? Especially considering the Z33's airbox is nothing like that?

In the Z33 there's no need to remove the airbox from the car. I can't find any photos of the stock Z33 airbox to illustrate, but here's an exploded part diagram:

Part (2) (the holder) keeps the filter in place, and has 2 clips on the top. You leave the airbox in the car, undo the clips, grab the handle between the two clips, and pull the holder out of the box.

For people looking at retaining stock airboxes in their V35 and retaining a drop-in panel filter, I'd look and see if Z33 ones fit. It'll make the job of servicing it easier, if nothiing else.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
