  1. You could have atleast given someone else the opportunity to pop the punchline on there..
  2. Spot on, 300mm longer. It's easy enough to get a 'link pipe' or re-weld a small section onto it. Trying to find V35 specific pipes is nigh on impossible.....
  3. Hi all, I've got a 350GT ; 2005 DE engine (Skyline 2+2) but its virtually the same as all your Zed's so I'm after 2nd hand (or stupidly good new prices) Hi-Flo cats Cat back exhaust (resonated as it's a daily driver) air intake - not sure what's best (I know many of you just use stock air box) but happy to try stuff out plenum - no strut brace so happy for largest and it will need a tune... suggestions for E.Essex area? Who's best down my neck of the woods? Thanks
  4. I know.... a frustrating way to spend my B/H.... Any idea what voltage to run across them?
  5. Its a skyline 350GT V35 .... To my knowledge there are 3 sets of fuse boxes and 2 relay switches for fans. Each fan has its own relay & fuse. Is there a fuse which does both fans? Ok then , Skyline 350GT - where is the fuse that can cut both cooling & A/C fan?
  6. Thank you all, That's pretty conclusive.... Why would both motors fail at the same time? are there any checks worth doing to ensure it is fan rather than a fuse... ?
  7. Hi all, When sitting in heavy traffic my engine water temp starts to increase gradually after 5 mins. As soon as I start moving again the water temp drops. Simple assumption is an airflow problem. I've popped the bonnet expecting to see the rad fan going when running higher temps but it is not moving. I've popped on the A/C also (I hope i'm right in understanding one of the fans helps with the A/C) but neither fan is operating. Is there a simple checklist, course of action to determine what the fault is & how should I do it? Ie: motors, relay box, fuse, ecu... etc. its a 2005 350 with motor driven fans. Thanks
  8. She's behaving..... What a bloody airlocks in these are.
  9. Just looking to try to top up the coolant mix and get rid of the air in the system Will be just topping up the rad
  10. Hi, Coolant = Premix (50%distilled) Monday should be the pressure test...
  11. Righty..... Car is back with me and behaving I can hear water trickling from behind the dash after 2mins of driving. Guessing that means an airlock in the heating system? Rad is now heating up properly & gauges are behaving. She'll be on the ramps on Monday to see if we can find the tiny hole in the cooling system somewhere in the front of the engine bay -still steaming a teeny bit but no real drop in pressure. Mileage on the car is about 45k (mixed km&m) so heads really shouldn't need doing. Is there a best thread for getting coolant in without airlocks?
  12. Now driving my car again..... New thermostat and it's not overheated.... yet. Bit of steam coming out on it's first drive but not loosing coolant. Hopefully just residue - fingers crossed!
  13. Hi all, Sorry to drop in to this thread... ran a search and found this convo and really could do with input on a issue with my car that sounds very similar. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/95866-overheating-issues/
  14. Hey all, Currently I've broken my 350 ... but soon she'll be fixed Just in time for the summer.... I'm already jotting down a list of mods to get done.... but that is for another thread.
  15. Hi all, Another day and another chat with the garage...... Sniffer test yielded no gasses in the coolant. They've changed the thermostat which was partially siezed. Overheating problem is still there.... Odd thing is that the pipes in and out of the rad are hot but the rad fins are cold!! Either their battling an air lock in the rad or the rad has a blockage of somesort - its being pulled out to be pressure tested. Also, their main mechanic is still pretty certain its a head gasket but is eliminating all the smaller issues first. I've known no overheating issue since ownership and the previous owner drove like an undertaker and racked up hardly any miles. Problems... just like busses .
  16. Hi, Is this still for sale? Can collect any day of the week based in mid Essex.
  17. Hi, is this still available? do you have any links/further info? thanks
  18. Out of curiosity to see if it over heats... (prob was nearer 1 hour though) ... not a glimmer of needle heading north.
  19. Colchester way.... Need to get a few more horses from it and need as much advice as poss!
  20. Pics to follow.... proper rear seats http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nissan_V35_Skyline_350GT.jpg
  21. One other thing.. Fans - Fine
  22. Hi all, I have a 350GT... (350z 4 seat version) which has a weird overheating problem. Start up - Fine Warm up - Fine Idle for 2 hours - Fine Drive off - Overheating within 2 mins Coolant - moving round Heating - blows hot Leaks - None Compression test - fine Exhaust gas in coolant - none (indicating its not head gasket) Local garage has it (manager is an ex 350z owner) and they're a bit miffed Coolant is bled through properly.... and it only overheats when in gear and moving; she'll sit all day on idle. Tomorrow they'll be taking out the temp gauge & coolant pump to test properly. Suggestions welcomed!!!
