Also be interesting to know things like time on car, mileage covered and usage.

Good looking car there. Love the wheels.

Sorry to hear this news, best wishes to all of the family. I'm sure we will all be able to help in some way.

I don't track my car so I stuck with OEM arb and new oem Bushes with the whiteline drop links, they have not given me any issues so far and ride quality is fine.

It was going to be temporary but I like it enough to keep. Looks good sitting beside your donor z tube😃

Thanks I'm pleased it turned out ok. Masking off took the main time, but didn't want to remove plenum so worth it. Beats sitting in doors eating chocolate all day 😀

Inspired by this topic to paint my plenum in situ today . Thanks GMbalistic Here's before And here's after

Just got out of seeing this. Great job, go see it if u haven't yet, you won't be disappointed.

Nice one, mines in 6 weeks, I have the same dread lol

Every day is a school day, however I will continue to use J matic until the jury returns. I agree it's better to use what you know and trust and if you can still buy it they must still be making it.

This is one of the places I read it http://g35driver.com/forums/drivetrain/324940-03-5at-coupe-s-matic-j-matic-fluid.html

😀 better not get that throttle controller after all.

Oh I thought J matic had been upgraded to S. Like I say I've read so much info that conflicts. So just to confirm Alex, although it does not require changing, if it ever needed topping up it would be J matic? Thanks

You could be right as she can be a bit heavy on the gas lol

That's good news thought I may have to change it at some point. Fill your boots mate as the fluid is circa £200.00 Wow that much I thought it would about £15 a quart for s matic. I've read so much conflicting information on wether to change the auto fluid or not. I know there's no filter to change and had read that changing the fluid on a 40k plus car could do damage to auto box.

That's good news thought I may have to change it at some point.

Thanks marzman & Alex It most definitely hasn't happened to me yet and I've taken it for a spin this afternoon testing both auto & semi auto it pulls nicely with no noise or burning smell. I'm beginning to think her foot slipped between brake pedal and accelorater 🙈

I thought this could be the case but I asked her if the slip light came on and it didn't.

My 2003 V35 / G35 350Gt has done around 43K, I'm not sure if its Auto box is the same as the Z but my question is quite generic. Last night my wife took the car to work from cold start and once she had reversed off drive, she engaged Drive and as she accelerated the cars revs went up but the car seemed to slip until she backed of the gas and went again. On questioning her she said it also happened at the first junction she stopped at on her trip to work, then did not happen again. I personally have never experienced this problem, possibly because I warm the car up before I set off. For me both the engine and gearbox are nice and smooth. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue, I have read that auto boxes have a feature called lock up that does not engage until car reaches a certain speed and was wondering if this is a safety feature designed to protect gearbox. Would this coupled with my wife being heavy on the gas pedal at a time the cars revs are higher due to cold start cause this. I have checked the fluid at the dip stick and its at the correct level, looks clear on the stick and is the usual pinkish colour. It has a sweet smell and not a smell of burning, so there is no real indication of wear and tear of gearbox, levels are good which indicates no leak and has not been contaminated by coolant. I welcome your opinions.

I recently installed a Braun Champion action cam, £90 off amazon. http://www.braun-phototechnik.de/en/products/detail/~id.1034/BRAUN-Champion-Full-HD-Action-Cam.html It's a cheaper version of a go pro, works well but does not record speed and location, which is ok for me.

The same car is up on eBay for £11495 advertised as a skyline 350gt, which is what it is.

So we will soon be seeing the introduction of the Diego Discount then 😄

Once you have it sorted a tip is to pop a small dehumidifier bag (I use the ones for wardrobes) in the boot. This will soak up remaining moisture.

Great pics ðŸ‘

Thanks to Tricky-Ricky & King Rob for their advice, I have now got this conversion sorted with a bigger battery, its made a noticeable difference so was well worth getting this done.
