Hi everyone,

 

Im new to this and was wondering the best site for uprated 350z parts ie clutch/flywheel? as i was drifting about early and the clutch was stinking and the esp and traction control light stayed on intill i turned the engine of let her rest turned on and the lights where off again.

 

Any ideas of what this could be?

the esp light will come on and stay on when drifting, after drifting sometimes you can't turn esp back on for normal driving without turning off the engine and then back on, after you have turned esp back on and if the light is still on, just drive it normally for a bit and it will go back to normal. been there - done that - many many times in both my last 350zs.

also i just want to check, when you say the clutch was sticking, do you mean the pedal drops to the floor and doesn't come back up? because if it's that, it's due to the @*!# clutch hoes in 350Zs, they balloon up when drifting, replace the clutch line with a braided hose, works perfect.

like this http://www.ebay.co.u...LHgdI0XPxQUKIGA

worked perfect as per keyser's instructions,

it's louder than OEM when on, sort of like a jet sound lol

ps ZMANALEX, if i'd of known you sold them i would have got it from you

i did search, but missed your thread

thank you Keyser

i'll post back the results

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?

excellent alex, PMs sent

alex is that £200.00 for the complete diff, including the case and short shafts?

do you have any? actually hold on,. im going to pm you, thanks.

alex, the cost, that's the simple answer lol

i can get this including shipping to me for under £300.00, and that's a complete diff.

would a jap diff not be better than a viscous type like my last one? alot of messing about with it fitting shims to get it to lock up for sideways action.

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.

.....................

......................

im hoping it will fit and, im just waiting on someone how knows for definite, then i'll take it, really need to get my Z back to life lol

Im going to get another diff , but does anyone know for fact if a

Differential from a jap import 2006 manual, will fit my 2005 uk spec manual?

just a straight swap.

my diff exploded moths ago and ive been offered a diff, about time i got the car back on the road

That's quite an invite...

i still have to sort the photos and other vids from the Cruise/meet, i'll throw them up here to

we held a cruise / meet in Newry on the 08/12/2012,

to show of our cars,

collected donations for PIPS “ Public Initiative for the Prevention of Suicide & Self-harmâ€,

also the Newry Police, Newry Fire and rescue Service and the Guys and Girls from Drive Change did a mock up collision and demonstrate cutting persons out of the Car.

after the event we headed off to our other location,

Here's the video from it,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-_NXUyQyFg

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.

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.

Only one shaft is meant to have a C clip.

 

Alex.

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.

Not my cup of tea but impressive skills and nice vid

 

I have to say when i read 'wee video' I was thinking more water sports than motor sports

lol water sports

i should have said "wee" as in "small"

it's good to be back guys

ps, no prob Chris, thanks

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

Me like! Different and tastefully done.

i think that's the first time it's been called tasteful lol
