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

      Rb26/30 build

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.
