  1. I would recommend Sony XAV-AX100. Really modernises the interior and works with carplay.
  2. Hmm I never used this feature - what I am guessing you are trying to interface with freediag (a subtool, with which nisprog shares some logic). What are you trying to accomplish? There may be better tools for OBD data display/logging...
  3. Hehe sure mate, I was also reluctant in the beginning but it really isn't that hard. If you can reserve yourself some dyno time I bet you can make same numbers as you would on RevUp software.
  4. Hey everyone, RevUp software being one of most popular mods to do on a Z, few people decided to reverse engineer Nissan ECUs for the benefit of community. I don't know if anyone heard about it yet, but there is a tool called Nisprog, which enables you to dump and flash your own maps for free. Kind of what Subaru or BMW guys of the early 2000s have, rarely anyone uses paid products to do remapping. The project is still in early days so you don't get as many options as commercial software for now, but anything is possible in the future. You can change most engine parameters or flash ROM from cruise control enabled car to get your switches working. Anyhow, if anyone is interested, please have a look here http://www.romraider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=14867, where I've compiled a small tutorial.
  5. I'm from slovenia but can reach neighbouring countries and most continental europe as well (austria, italy, hungary, croatia) no problems... I guess taking a plane isnt an option then aswell :/ no way I can pass x-ray...
  6. Dang I wish I was closer... I love this steering wheel so much but I cannot justify driving 1000km to pick it up....
  7. I'd like to agree with you on this one, but as pointed out in OP I got it diagnosed at national HQ Nissan service centre. They looked up Nissan's database for 350Z servicing, torn apart half of engine, made all sorts of tests, chatted with Nissan tech in Japan directly... and gave me the car back after 16 working hours for free (which is a miracle itself). Anyways, I'm going to rest this debate here
  8. I am aware they are wear and tear... I am more angry at the fact that this phantom P0300 haunted me for so long and it turned out to be the flywheel of all the things, without any apparent signs of failure. I guess it was just 'bad luck' Anyways, I am happy with how my car runs now, and that's all that matters!
  9. Yes it is factory installed kit. My mechanic confirmed that transmission has never been removed before. I've added a photo of all PNs, you can also see small LUK logo. By the looks, both clutch and transmission had low wear and no discoloration. That's as expected from previous owner usage, him having car since new and being over 50 years old. For what the price is for DMF (me being no professional) I think the quality is shoddy. "Burned" welds, casting marks everywhere and even a copper balancing weight on one side. For something worth £500, meant to be spinning at 7k RPM? Mine could have been just out of balance too, because I couldn't hear any noises related to DMF failure...
  10. Hey everyone, I've had the 'mysterious P0300' issue happening with my Z ever since I owned it and finally got it fixed this week. So i've made a little write-up that may help someone with similar issues. About car: It's a 2005, only has 100k kilometers (60k miles), pulls hard and had no issues whatsoever when driving. It was serviced regularly. So there was no apparent reason for car to act up while idling. The dreaded P0300 would appear after standing in traffic for some time, or just warming up the car. My investigation steps: - google the problem, heaps of posts of people struggling to find the cause- misfire was audible so it was not a crank sensor problem - turning AC on would raise the rpm's and would delay the misfire - replaced spark plugs, checked for vacuum leaks - it would appear hot and cold, but higher rpm's of cold start delayed the issue for a bit - had it inspected in official Nissan service. They returned the car free of charge after saying they cannot find the reason after disassembling entire cold side, testing compression, injectors and coils and catalyzer. - performed ECU reset, throttle position reset etc... The revelation: Frantically googling for possible issues and unwilling to accept defeat, I stumbled upon some random forum post about Dual Mass Flywheel causing misfires. Wow! The car never showed any signs of clutch wear or other driveline issues. And failed DMF at only 100k km? A though pill to swallow where the issue could still persist, but I ordered new clutch kit with DMF. Got it installed last week. Immediately after starting the car there is a noticeable change in idle. Car rides smoother, and clutch engagement is a lot nicer. 1000 euros later, the issue fixed. I'm also including the pictures of clutch and DMF. No visible clues of high wear to the point of failure. Also, I'd line to send a big "F* you" to LUK with their utterly shitty moneymaking product called DMF! Hopefully this post is useful to the people out there
  11. Wow man, what an amazing car you have here! Can I ask you for wheel + tire specs? I'll be replacing my stockers soon Hope to see you around, I've visited few events already in Zagreb but never saw your car yet.
  12. Hey everyone, I'm so glad I found this forum. I've found so much useful info here I decided to create an account. I've been wanting a 350z ever since I played it as little kid on Need for Speed Underground 2. I realized my dream about a month ago, and bought myself a mint condition 2005 350z from senior first owner with 100k kilometers (60k miles) on the clock.
