Thanks Alex.

I don't think anything was seized, just don't think he was aware a small amount of movement was possible.

Yeah was thinking I might need adjustable arms. What ones would you recommend?

Was going to take it into Kwik Fit tomorrow to see if they can adjust the camber but sounds like it might be a waste of money until I fit adjustable arms

Cheers

Thanks Alex

Strange they said they can only select upto 18inch wheels... Does that mean the results in my print out are not a true reflection of what is on the car?

Great thanks, so I just need to adjust the rear camber. It's low but but slammed. How much degrees movement is possible? Kwik fit are my only option with a hunter machine now 😐

Just had the alignment done on a Hunter machine but they said the max wheels their system can do is 18inch and mine are 19inch. Will that have a big effect?

They also said rear camber can't be adjusted but reading on here that's not correct and a small amount of adjustment is possible. Would the results I have now still result in uneven tyre wear?

Car is lowered on HKS Hypermax coilovers.

Cheers

Thank you as always Alex! 

Hi,

I need to change my rear tyres (first change since ownership). Is the alignment out from the pictures? 

Assuming it is, is it the hunter Hawkeye system I should use (rather than standard garage alignment system)? Regarding settings, just use OEM even tho it's lowered, 2 way diff and on HKS coilovers? Looking to minimise tyre wear as much as possible.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you!

I replaced the sender initially with;

VDO Pressure Sender 10 Bar 1/8NPT with Low Warning 0.8 Bar

Hi,

My aftermarket oil pressure gauge needs replacing. I ordered the Glowshift from Torqen but apparently out of stock and waiting for them from the USA.

I have it booked in next week with auto electrician to fit (along with new Stereo).

Can anyone recommend a similar priced one? I know Greedy and Defi are recommended but a bit out of budget! 

Ideally want it to come with new sensor and wiring

Cheers

Yes, thank you both for your replies

I will have a look, I was just after some pointers to where the likely places are that it could have been turned off/disconnected.

Cheers

Thank you but I don't want the ability to switch it off and on like the video I just want it on permanently.

I am not sure how the abs/TC were turned off in the first place. I've been driving it for 7 months without but I'll end up needing one day haha

Cheers

Thank you, will mention that to mechanic but definitely no extra button anywhere

Hi, 

The ABS and Traction control are disabled on my 350z. I was unaware of this when purchasing...... The lights have been blanked out on the dash and handbrake light won't go off. It was discovered by my auto electrician when trying to resolve this (handbrake light is now blanked out as temporary measure). I suspect it's for track/drifting purposes and not to hide a fault going by other mods the car has.

How do I turn them both back on? Its going in for service soon and then to auto electricians to fit a new stereo so ideally want to get them to do it at the same time. They don't have much knowledge of 350's so if anyone can provide any advice/pointers to pass on it would be appreciated.

The fuse is in place and seems normal.

Cheers

No idea about the diff, but have to say the underside of your car looks remarkably rust-free - no doubt an advantage buying an import and in turn a £saver for years to come.

Yeah that was the main reason I went for a fresh import. It was getting rust proofed in the pictures so hopefully stays that way for a long time!

No way to tell from those pictures, the diff is inside the casing but by the sound of it its a 1.5 or 2 way plate diff, probably Kaaz if you can feel it clunking. 
If you dont drift or track the car then you might as well swap it out for something a bit more user friendly, you should recover a few hundred quid out of it too if it is a plate type

ETA that diff oil cooler is pretty pointless unless youre drifting too, probably some more money there if you sell on  

Thank you, didn't realise it was in a casing! Will see if I can get someone to look at it, hopefully it's a straight swop to a standard diff. Yeah think the diff cooler is quite expensive so will likely take that off when switching the diff.

Hi

I imported a 350z last year and apparently it has a 3 way hydraulic diff... My mechanic thinks it's for drifting but didn't know anymore than that.

I want to change the oil but no idea what I should use. It's also my daily so not sure it's a good thing to have or if I should swop it out for a standard one. It locks at low speeds (assume that's what it's supposed to do) and clunks when turning at slow speed.

I've attached some pictures, is it possible to identify it from them? 

Thank you in advance

Kev

Thanks Ekona & Bobby. I probably have 2/3 inches head space and the roll bar is padded where I could hit it!

Will have a look at specialists in the North West who might be able to fit them for me

I never thought of the roll cage being dangerous so harness seems the way to go as not wearing a helmet going to work lol. Was thinking of Takata ones (only because I know they are not cheap). Would I need a harness bar? 

I hope they are genuine, has all the bride rails etc! I bought the car from Japan at auction and was listed as having bride seats and also has some expensive mods so can't imagine anything is fake

Cheers

Thanks Ekona.

I should have said I only use the car for normal road use and it will never be tracked. Just concerned I could hit my steering wheel and if I can make it safer for my passenger then it's worth doing. I would get someone professional to fit it.

I am not sure where my head sits to be honest but will check (I'm 5.10 ish).

Cheers

Hi,

After a bit of advice if fitting a harness would be safer than seat belts for driver and passenger. My car has roll cage, bride seats and a non air bag steering wheel. I don't want to fit just for style.

Also I assume I would need a harness bar?

Cheers

Hi,

Tried to get a reverse camera installed using my existing sat nav screen but auto electrician says he can't find any input...

The manual does seem to indicate it was an option! Has anyone else had it done?

Just want to check before I change my stereo to one with a screen

Cheers

Thanks Alex, very helpful as always!

Hi,

I'm trying (and failing) to remove my HKB hub to install a quick release.

I've got as far as the picture below but not sure what to do next. The hub seems solid, my only thought is to force it off the stopper at the top and it spins off? 

Thank you in advance!

Cheers

Hi,

I have an 06 with the standard factory sat nav which I know is useless but I can use it for both front and reverse cameras? I don't mind both being on the screen at the same time but not sure if that's possible.

Cheers

Cheers. I contacted them on live chat and they wouldn't commit to any timescales whatsoever... 

Hopefully it won't take months!!

Hi,

Has anyone registered an import recently? Form isn't the easiest and it's going to take ages for the DVLA to issue me a V5 so don't want it to be rejected and take longer.

If someone could let me see a copy of their form it would be really appreciated!

Cheers

Kev
