  1. It will work. Either that or hand over £1000 for Nissan to do it! I do all work on my own cars myself. I wont be letting a Nissan "tech" touch it after all I'm a bloody aircraft engineer haha!
  2. Im going to give this a go as soon as the weather clears up here. None of my fans work either so I hope this is the fix for it
  3. £3000 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  4. I look at torque as the force that gets you up and going (say from a standstill) up to a certain RPM and then ponies take over and do their thing to about redline or wherever max HP is produced. Correct me if I'm wrong
  5. I upgraded my D2R's to 5000K D2S bulbs and the like the 5000K much better. Pure white. The 55W kit was as mentioned earlier much brighter than the stock halogen bulbs and I think it's a reasonable safety mod without having to face-lift headlights
  6. I converted the high beams. My low beam (dipped) are D2R. I understand hid's aren't meant to be turned on and off frequently within a short time span. I did however notice that they are superior over the stock halogen bulbs and enable me to see further at night. I'm not worried about the beam pattern on the high beams as it is legal in Sweden to convert your high beams to xenon I think it's the ballast as well, going to cross-swap right/left side and go from there. 2 year warranty FTW Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  7. I'm thinking the ballast or bulb must be bad because I tested each side before putting everything back together. I just didn't test them long enough. The right side cuts off on the 4th blink as it comes up to full strength. I think I'm going in through the wheel arches this time! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  8. Hey guys! Hope all is well A couple of days ago I converted my high beams to HID's, replacing the halogen H7's with a 55W H7 slim ballast kit. Everything went smooth until I actually got around to test drive it tonight. As I turn the high beams ON, the bulbs start the warm up sequence and just about when they are approaching full brightness the right side bulb blinks (morse code, if you will) 3 times with 2 second intervals. On the 4th blink it'll cut off completely. The left side is fine and works as it should. Does anyone know if the high beams need to be canbus type ballasts or not? I'm not looking forward to take the bumper off again!
  9. Well done! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  10. When I drove my zed from London to Stockholm I averaged about 25mpg. I cruised at about 65-75mph majority of the trip. Had a few fun runs on the autobahn too! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    am i mad

    I've come from a Z32TT as well and even if i miss the power from my old car, you cant compare it to the reliability of the 350
  13. I tried to have sex in my old 300ZX. I ended up taking the t-top off, seat all the way back. Still managed to cramp throughout the whole thing. Not doing it ever again!
  14. Sorry to jack the thread, but i replaced my pads only on mine (non-brembo) with EBC pads. They came with some sort of 3M sticker rubber thingy that you're supposed to stick to the pads. I skipped the rubber stickers and used the stock shims that were on the old pads and now I have squeaky brakes :/ What did i do wrong?
  15. Very tragic, my thoughts are with his family. Just a reminder that tomorrow is not promised. :/
  16. I'm sure that there are several on here who've imported cars from The U.K into Europe. There was a recent thread with a picture of an Azure U.K Zed, still on U.K plates parked next to a Lambo in Sweden, I've also read that several Zed's have been brought over to various parts of Europe from The States as well. Indicator setup might just involve changing a bulb...or it could be dealer waffle. Pete That would be my USDM, UK registered Zed in Sweden. In Sweden the US headlights are legal as long as there is no amber parking lights on with the dipped beams. My headlight markings are as follows: Kioto H7 DOT VOR D2R Thats from memory, but pretty sure they say something like that.

    Oil filler thread

    Did anyone else catch the fact that OP is asking if the oil FILLER thread is the same and not oil FILTER? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  18. Looks great! Any tips on how to tackle the engine bay?
  19. Looking great! I need one of these when i go hunting :/
  20. Welcome! Nice 350 take well care of it and drive responsibly
  21. Plastidip.com should not be confused with dipyourmom.com
  22. Looks so much better in person! 20mm front 25mm rear.
  23. I fuel up to a hair over 3/4 tank last week and I've managed to squeeze 100-some miles out of her and DTE is less than 100 miles. I've had a very heavy right foot and lots of city driving so if any of you heard a loud, painful scream followed by hysterical weeping, don’t worry about it…That was just me at the gas pump filling up my car.
