I love Mighty Car Mods cant get enough of it

Welcome

Glad it was useful

Here's the link http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/DOCUMENT/PDF/IREVENT/PRESEN/2006/060824_IR-VQEngine_Eng.pdf

Yeah very glad its done. I didn't try cleaning it because fortunately the car is still under warranty and it covered electrical. Labour cost was £115 so not bad. The Z motor was the costly bit Also took the opportunity to get the aux belts changed as well.

Just picked up the V35 350GT from garage, now fitted with a brand new 350Z window motor Total cost £400

I came across an interesting document produced by Nissan all about the evolution of the VQ engine. This may have already been seen by all, but if not I can post the link.

Welcome to the Forum. Hope you get it sorted.

OK so I have had a chance to do some research on skyline owners and SAU. Some of the links Google provided lead to invalid topics so not sure whats happening there, maybe a database mismatch. The posts I was able to read were quite interesting as I was originally only looking to fix up an aftermarket reverse cam to the existing screen by tapping into the existing TV tuner in the LHS of the boot. What I found interesting is its also possible to put in an AV switch which will allow the running of a UK TV tuner / DVD Player etc. Some people have also managed to get the system display changed into English language. Sadly im probably about 2 years too late to do this as these posts date back to 2007 and the most recent I read was 2012 from a guy on SAU who was stopping any further development. Alas my problem still remains because the individuals who where selling the custom cable to connect from old TV tuner to AV switch are no longer doing these. I cam across a reference to beat-sonic but have not been able to find a beat sonic cable. I am quite happy to custom make my own cable but I am not great with auto electrics and unless I am using the wrong search keywords, I can not find a post that gives instructions on how to make up the end that plugs in to the aux port (I think 8 Pin but could be wrong) on the old TV Tuner. I could take all the JDM stuff out but have heard this is connected to other systems in the car, and I am fortunate to have a Bose sound system that is all in good working order. I will continue searching and update post if I find out any more.

Cool thanks Glad it's possible I will check it out

I have the Jdm sat nav screen which is linked to the Jdm TV tuner in the boot. There is a port on the back of the tv tuner for an aux in which I believe was used with the oem reverse cam. Does anyone know if there's a aux nissan to Rca video cable that I can buy to connect an aftermarket reverse cam. Thanks

I'm guilty been running a company blog for couple of years now. A blog can be a good source of income once the visitors start flowing.

Sorry to hear the z's been damaged. Hope its fixable and back too former glory asap

They use a different air box design to the Z,And the intake tube is more heavily resonated to remove intake noise. Yeah spot on, loving the non resonated sound 😎

2003 air box

It does look so much better. Looks like it was meant to be that way. Very pleased 😀

A big thanks to GMballistic for being the Z donor Car for my 350GT Air Intake upgrade. Didn't take long and well worth it as there is a noticeable difference in engine sound and throttle response. Here's some pics:

The window motor costs around £320 new

Welcome ðŸ‘

Nowadays if your property is relatively new title deeds are just held electronically by the land registry. The conveyancer or solicitor would have registered a legal charge in favour of the lender You can view a pdf version by doing a land registry search, costs about £3 If your property is older the lender will usually hold on to the deeds until mortgage is repaid.

Nice Car

Welcome

My Forum name is based on the first car I ever modded, a Focus ST170. Fords project name for the car whilst in development was piranha.

That sounds awesome

Not too far away then, you will often see me parking at the back of tesco car park, as far a way from front as I can LOL
