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

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
