has anyone fitted a Mishimoto Nissan 350Z aluminium fan shroud kit? my engine fans died so i bought this http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/mishimoto-nissan-350z-aluminum-fan-shroud-03.html problem is, each fan has only two wires, the oem fans have 4 wires, has anyone installed one of these? if so, how did you wire it. thanks, ps i did find the folling info over on http://my350z.com but just wanted to check. Fan 1 Drivers Side (1) Blue out – (2) Green In (350z harness) (1) Black Out – (2) Black In (350z harness) Fan 2 Passenger’s Side (1)Blue Out – (2) Blue In (350z harness) (1)Black Out – (2) Yellow In (350z harness) also this 1. Cut the ends of both wire leads long and short that connect directly to the stock fans. 2. Strip off the black heat jacket. 3. Take Blue wires from each harness and solder them to the Blue wire on fan 2. 4. Take Yellow wires from each harness and solder them to the Black wire on fan 2. 5. Take Green wires from each harness and solder them to the Blue wire on fan 1. 6. Take Black wires from each harness and solder them to the Black wire on fan 1. 7. Heat shrink all connections and then slide some sort of loom over them for protection. 8. Connect everything up and that should be that? link http://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/442865-issues-with-wiring-mishimoto-radiator-fans-5.html

ZMANALAX, thanks, i just need to know if it will fit, as in a straight swap onto my Z, it doesn't matter if it's a VLSD, i think it's not because there are no cooling fins on the pumpkin, It's been offered to me but i'll only take it if it is just a simple matter of swapping it with the old diff. It is a complete diff, with the stub axles.

[74870X] STAY ASSY-TUNNEL question
MrMartinPGrant replied to MrMartinPGrant's topic in 350Z Technical
i was thinking that lol aww well just another thing to add to the to do list then -
that's a great job, i like the matte look effect too.

i'm just wondering what everyone else does about this, if you have the same problem mine is pretty bad with rust and i mean really bad, bits are just falling of it, is there an upgraded part or is it a sandblast and clean up job? it's this part in the diagram 74870X, near top of the picture. also refered to as [74870X] STAY ASSY-TUNNEL looks like a W shape bar underneath the car, at the back.

350Z "half Shafts"...."stub axles" question
MrMartinPGrant replied to MrMartinPGrant's topic in 350Z Technical
just seen that alex, i couldn't work it out, thanks Ebized, yea there was an oil leak on the side where the shaft came out and i was going round a corner at the time, so i think it's just slipped out. -
350Z "half Shafts"...."stub axles" question
MrMartinPGrant replied to MrMartinPGrant's topic in 350Z Technical
alex, thank you, my mechanic does not do any work on 350Z diffs, so he was unsure, i knew i'd have better change of finding out on here, again thanks alex -
Can anyone tell me Is there meant to be a "c ring" i think it's called, on the driver side "half Shafts"...."stub axles" see pic, on the left of the pic is the driver side, no c ring, on the right of the pic is the passenger side, you can see there is a C ring on it. should there be a c ring on the driver side one? This has all come about because on Saturday i was driving along and the driver side half shaft popped out of the diff, i thought the diff had exploded. the car is now with the mechanic while he checks for damage. also would anyone know why the Driver side half shaft would have popped out? has this happened anyone? The oil seal on the driver side had been leaking.

lol it is great fun, i promise i had a great laugh at the above pic by rtbiscuit spike's really good, he used to be on a drift and diff display team but there was some falling out, so he left, he's been at it a long time, it's all about the control my diff is only a viscous diff, not lsd but i shim it every 4 - 5 months it's striped down and shims put it to tighten it up, but they wear down, that vid was about 4 moths after it was done, so it was running loose. some of the other guys in the vid sort of let the car take them where it wants to go lmao i'd say i spend alot on tyres, i try not to count up the cost the video was thrown together over a day, i went for the arty approach lol

thanks guys for the comments bad news today, looks like my diff has exploded, just got car recovered from the road and will have to wait on mechanic getting back to me, i wouldn't have mined so much, as i knew it was on it's way out, but I've just spent loads of money on the car this week already
