I have now discovered that the after market cat 1 alarm that is fitted is a toad ai 606, the issue I now have is that I don't have the 4 digit code to add any additional key fob's , I have found the alarm unit , but is fitted inside a shielded case , so I can't get the serial number from it without hassle .. I have been quoted £200 for a full alarm service and a few new key fob's , looks like I'm going to have to pay up on this and get them ...

would be a pain to lose/malfunction, my key fob , until then

Got key cut , it did need programming , as it wouldn't start the car , cost £55 which wasn't to bad as it would have been way more expensive if I had lost my key ...

Thanks guys

Hi just an update

Yes my key does have a chip , as had key cut and wouldn't start car , then the key was programmed using my old key , and everything is good ....

£55 well spent I guess , could have been really expensive if I had list my keys 😮

Thanks guys

Any other takers on this ?

Hi all

Ok I bought a jdm 350z a few weeks bk , it only came with one key and an after market alarm fob , the alarm fob unlocks and locks the doors , it also disarms an immobiliser which is shown by a red/green led fitted by the ignition ..

Now I have gone to get a spare key cut , and the guy quotes me £55 he tells me there is a passive immobiliser which is controlled by a chip in the key ??

Is this correct ? Would I still need a key with a chip for £55 even tho is has a secondary immobiliser ? Or would the factory system been disabled to make way for the after market unit

Any info on this would be great thanks ðŸ‘

sounds like a good plan ....

If I went to de-cats , I would need to do the work myself as I would have to refit the cats bk on for mot , as I doubt that it will pass without them ... ??

Hi , all .. not sure if this is posted in the right place ..

Was just wondering how difficult is it to swap out the exhaust on the 350z , the front couple of sections ( cat , y peace ) are looking very old with signs of corrosion, and the bottom heat shield has corroded through , I haven't had a chance to get the car up on stands and asses the difficulty , but it looks like the bolt from the cat to the manifold are well hidden ... The car has just recently passed a mot , it was done when I bought it last week , so the exhaust isn't blowing .. ( yet)

any thoughts on how to tackle this, I don't have access to any lifts , can this be done off of jacks and stands ?

one last thing , as my car is JDM import is it tested to the same standard on emissions and the uk version , ? can I swap out the cats for de-cats ? or is HFC a much more of a sensible option ..

Thanks guys . .

ok thanks guys , will have to give that ago , think the long term solution would be to order one from china , I will prob order it today ...

Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome ...

will have to look at those stubby aerials ..

car show at laysdown , do you have a date , and location ... I'm off work now foe a few weeks of tinkering with the car

Thanks guys ...

ok , thanks , just checked out the OBDMATE OM500 on ebay , as that was listed to work , my other question is , if I order it from china do we know if I have to pay import duty on it , as ones in the uk are expensive .. .

or am i looking at the wrong reader ...

thanks

Hi guys , please excuse my ignorance as this has prob been posted to death , but i haven't had much luck with this ..

Im after a fault reader for my 350z , it is a import .

I bought a U480 Universal OBD2 but this doesn't work , so I looked in to it a bit more and bought 2014 Launch X431 Creader VI+ 6 OBD&EOBD&JOBD ,this doesn't work either

neither of these even light up , nothing , tho they do work as I tested them on my bmw ..

I can't keep buying reader that don't work lol.. so I was wondering if there is a cheap reader which does work ? is there a list of compatible readers , any info on this would be great ..

thanks Andy

Hello all ..

Thought I would introduce myself , Im Andy from kent , I have recently bought myself a 350z , I wanted a second car as a bit of a toy , and within my budget the 350z seemed like the best option , I took a fair few cars out , but the 350z had my attention ..

I have a couple of questions , and thought that this might be the place where I would get some answers ..

I live in kent , and have played with cars for a long while , I'm 35 now , I did have motor bikes but promised my wife I wouldn't get another .. so hear I am ..

I will try a post a couple of pics of my new car if Im allowed
