Hi Scuttee,

I am trying to buy the grom unit for my 2003 V35 premium coupe. Before I order one online, I wanted to ensure that I am ordering the correct one. Is this the one that you have on your V35? BT3. http://www.gromaudio.com/store/bt3_adapters/nissan_infiniti_aux-in_mp3_bluetooth_ipod_iphone_adapter_-_sat_emulation.html

Also, what is the CDC Niso2 cable? Do I need to buy that as well? By reading from the previous posts, I understand that once I receive my Grom unit, I will need to do a firmware update with version 28.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Cheers

I bought the USB2P unit as seen here http://www.carputer-shop.co.uk/usb-android-car-kits-c-7/nissan-usb-android-integration-kit-p-45, the main function of this one is usb streaming and android streaming so it best suited my needs and then i ordered the bluetooth extra. You will have to check the BT3 one is compatible and that means the NIS2 (NIS02) cable which comes bundled if you select the right package but you can always buy new cables later if you ever wanted to put it in a different car then just reflash with the right firmware. I bought from this dealer in the UK as i had trouble ordering from the US Grom store but have had no issues with technical help or support as they just direct you to Grom. They said they have a lot of V35's over there when i asked whether it suited our car so they know what suits ours.

The important thing is our stereos use the CD changer port not the satellite port like on the Infiniti's so the one you linked might be a bit iffy as it says SAT emulation, should be the same as here though http://www.carputer-shop.co.uk/integrated-bluetooth-kits-c-19/nissan-bluetooth-integration-kit-p-137 and that says CDC so should be good. I'd just throw an email to make sure it's the correct one.

Hi Scuttee - thanks for your feedback. I'll order from the UK store which says CDC. Did you set it up yourself? I'm not that great with stereo installations and am time constrained so I'll take it to a technician.

By the way when you ordered yours from the UK store, did you choose Nissan 350z as the car model?

I don't think i chose a car model, just went with a the Nissan box and made sure the vehicle specific cable was 'NIS2 - Nissan'.

Install was fairly easy as i i had taken the dash apart before for a band expander and used the same positap type connector for the wire so it was basically the same, had the zip tie the box and cables together to make sure they wouldn't come out though and then stuff them in the bottom to fit under the stereo. It's really only one plug you put in the stereo then tap into a wire so you'll need to use a multimeter and find a constant wire in the stereo wiring. I'd take it to someone if you don't want to route the mic, usb etc cables around yourself which was a pain. Plus are you going to need to access the box? I use usb extentions and aux routed into my upper glove box which had a convenient hole already made so my box is hidden behind the dash with no way to get to it without pulling it apart.

This is the best video i've seen, plus it's the same series as mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhfgwpSiVJI

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
