  1. Hi all

     

    Bit of an update - went down lockup Saturday and tried a load of things but still no joy.

     

    Ripped out all fuses and back in, checked all grounding points including grounding kit and all looks good. Checked all fittings in engine.

     

    Checked battery and connectors - reading a healthy 12.6 v.

     

    Now started playing with keys and doors! The master key locks and sets up alarm (in door) but I get a long buzzing noise from boot. When I then unlock with key and open driver door alarm goes off. Remote works perfect to lock/unlock and no issue at all.

     

    Second key completely dead - does nothing.

     

    Meanwhile passenger door also does nothing - if I open or close alarm is unaffected and I don't get the open door chime. Also the courtesy light does nothing - but switches in/off fine.

     

    Starting to think Nats has gone bonkers or the bcm ? Module is ill? Def no smell of fuel anywhere so engine is def being starved :(

     

    I'm located in cardiff, South Wales so Sod's law probably miles away from everyone :(

  2. Thanks all! Going to try a few things and will then report back.

     

    Fitted new rocker cam (passenger side), grounding kit, cosworth plenum, pop charger, carbon intake pipe as well as two power cables through bulkhead for amps and aux. weirdly though cars has been started and running since :(

     

    I thought immobiliser but Nats light does go out on key turn...weird

  3. Help! SOS! :)

     

    Been doing a few bits to car and all been working fine and starting/running fine.

     

    Unfortunately battery went dead in lockup - recharged and battery all good, however now the car won't start :(

     

    It cranks but no go :(. Checked obd - no codes or errors, all clean. Tried engine start - worked! So checked fuel pump and wasn't sure so replaced (def works). Tried again but no joy - tried both keys and nothing - just crank and that's it.

     

    All leccys working fine, wipers, lights, air con, doors lock and open all fine.

     

    Any ideas or help much appreciated! Read I'm desperate and willing to do most things ;) hehe

  4. Hi All

     

    Wondering if anyone can help? I've tried searching the forum along with the workshop notes and either I'm missing something, can read them or just can't find it!

     

    Anyway I'm trying to find out what some of the wires in both doors do.

     

    In particular I'm looking for either (or all) a permanent live, ignition live and/or door open live connection in the door? Does anyone know whether any of these exist?

     

    Any help mucho gracias appreciated! hehe

  5. Hi all

     

    Ideally I'm looking at cutting out the centre bit of the rear speaker housing (the two useless storage areas) in order to fit a diagonal amp rack.

     

    However I can't seem to find anyone or anywhere on the web who has done it. Which names me wonder whether that's because it shouldn't be done! Lol

     

    Does anyone know whether this is a key piece to the interior, safety or suspension/geometry?

     

    My plan was to cut the front divider, then next to the left/right speakers and up. Then bend it all in to a 45" angle so I could potentially pull out and reweld in the future?

     

    Any help, opinions greatly appreciated!

  6. You can either take the bits off and post them off to Aqua or visit them. They tend not to take the items off themselves (they can) but in fairness they don't want to break anything so having the bits off is easier.

     

    The dipping takes a few hours/days for drying, prep, etc. not a quick afternoon job - especially with things like the dash and side trim with that crap rubber-type coating.

  7. Hi All

     

    I didn't think I'd be able to do a successful insurance claim as it's only scratched rather than seriously damaged, cracked or smashed. I can still see fine out of it, but when walking around the scratches are quite clear. Been thinking about a breaker and getting one there but can't be sure I'll get a "good" one :(

     

    Bizz where you based? that might be the perfect solution! Jumping350 I've got a gun metal (dark) 350z....

  8. Finally got the car in my lock up after nearly grounding it (can't believe how low the 350z generally is) and now setting about doing an overhaul for the show season next year.

     

    Part of that was hopefully replacing the scratched rear windscreen - however a quote from AutoGlass for a replacement window and fitting left me in shock. £890 inc vat and delivery!!!! Hell another £4k and I can get another 350z lol

     

    Is this really the normal price? does anyone know cheaper options?
