Hi, would appreciate any thoughts you may have. I’ve just swapped a known good VQ35DE into my 2003 UK manual 350Z, using the donor engine and harness but keeping the original ECU. It starts and revs fine, but has a bad misfire at idle. Only code is P0300. I’ve narrowed it down to cylinder 6 because unplugging that coil makes no difference at all. So far I’ve: Swapped the coil with cylinder 2 Swapped the spark plug Swapped the injector Confirmed the injector is clicking Confirmed injector pulse with a noid light Compression tested cylinder 6 at 185 psi Smoke tested the intake with no leaks found Confirmed 12.5V at the coil connector Checked continuity from the coil wiring back to the ECU Checked the engine grounds and added a direct ground from battery negative to the engine Unplugged the MAF, which made it run worse The fault has stayed on cylinder 6 through all of this. Bank 2 short term fuel trim was around +25%. The donor engine ran perfectly before it came out. I did remove and refit the crank sensor during the swap. I’ve got an oscilloscope arriving tomorrow, so my next step is comparing the ignition trigger on cylinder 6 with a working cylinder. Has anyone come across something similar after a VQ35DE swap?

Sorry its E5 and E7 nor E6, and meant 72 not 70

Hi Keith. Thank you so much. I am the worst with diagrams looking here and in the element E6 there is no 30 /72.On my photo you think it is this green wire top right?

Is this what you are looking for? Fuse 9, through the clutch interlock switch, pin 114 in BCM, but also t-off to the IPDM connector E6 pins 30/72 (green wire) should be 12v with clutch depressed 0v with clutch up

PS also if someone now where this connector goes I would be grateful. I don't see nothing around to connect it to

Google again and it is saying that + is coming to the clutch sensor directly from IPDM box. But which one is it I can not figure it out? If I could check that there is no voltage after IPDM box that would be better for me as box is crazy expensive . So if anyone can read better the wiring please give me a hint where the wire goes through so i can check for the power I hope it was cut somewhere.

Ok, so my saga with Nissan 370z continues. Car wont start, i checked and no 12v is coming down on the connector in the green wire. I google it around and found that if you bring + directly from battery to marron wire next to it it will send the signal to BCM that clutch is down so i did it and car started thanks god. Now I need to check what happened with green wire why no power in it.

Update: For me it was Start button not working. Once I fixed it i got the dashboard working.

Pop to Halfords, they’ll let you take them outside and try them. That’s what I did when choosing seats for mine.

I've been very happy with mine, no problems at all. I use Spotify though and plays through Bose speakers. I bought it from Au Car Auto.

We’ve received your email and will reply tomorrow.

At one point they were always recommended on here , surely someone knows what happened to Mitz & crew ?

Don't know buddy I have never used them sorry

did the Google and it said permanentley closed ? what happened to them ?

Google is your friend

I've been away for a while , is Cougar Store no longer trading ?

I purchased one of these (on credit card luckily!!) It was the biggest waste of time. Looked good, but the sound quality coming through stock speakers was terrible and the carplay would never connect automatically with my iPhone, sometimes wouldn't even find it to connect to manually! After much back and forth with Nifty City, and them sending me a software update to 'fix' the issues on a dongle (which it didn't!). I decided to return it to them as faulty, which they denied it was, luckily I'd kept all the proof and videos of it etc. So the credit card company honoured my claim and Nifty City had to refund me. AVOID!!

Good day all! Has anyone found a brand of car seat that will fit the 370Z Nismo Recaro seats, my little one is 4 now, and would be nice to be able to take her out in the Zed and not be restricted to using the wife's car! Brand or link if anyone has one would be amazing! TIA

Bump! £100!

Would look cool with a set of painted valve covers, polished timing cover etc

The pictures in the review with it fitted look awesome. He does mention it wasn't straight, which I guess is always a risk with that much welding on there. Shame all this stuff is in the US - I don't like paying import tax!

That's a shame mate your parting from us , your a good person John
