  2. Hi there, car when i bought it had an Xtrons aftermarket HU fitted all working OK, but it was crashing when asked to do too much so I have decided to change it, have bought a Kenwood DMX5020DABs second hand off Ebay, seller assures me it was in perfect working order when he removed from his car that was written off.

     

    So removed Xtrons unit was was left with a cable that went from the 305z audio connectors (M40 main audio, M41 Bose amp, M39 SW controls) to 2 ISO connectors that fit straight into back of Kenwood unit. (pic attached), so im thinking I can re-use this as it was working Ok with Xtrons unit.

     

    First problem I had was with power, at first it worked then it didn't I seem to have lost the GND, anyway reading up it seems I need a GND cable connecting to the loom as GND seems to be through audio chassis, im thinking it worked initially as I had the aerial connected which may have provided a GND.

     

    So unit powers up OK but there is no sound, the speakers are connected via the speaker connections not the RCA outputs (although I have Bose), which is how it was with the Xtrons that worked, there was fitted what looked like filters inline with the connectors (pic attached) but same with this fitted or not.

     

    I have checked the amp switch on is getting 12v (M41 pin 12), this is actually connected to the ACC, and measuring the speaker connections I am seeing 5V.

    I have spent a couple of hours checking the connections against the FSM and the unit and I can't see anything wrong, if I put back in the Xtrons unit still works fine with sound.

     

    Next option is buy the cables from In cartec Nissan 10, 6 and 16 pin 350Z and Murano radio adapter cable and steering control interface - InCarTec mine has got Bose but see that this uses RCA instead of the speaker connections, but don't think that would make a difference as I have no sound

     

    I have tried just connecting a crappy speaker to the connections but dont hear anything either with the kenwood or Xtrons unit so not a good test

     

    Any ideas anyone ?

     

    TIA

  4. Hi sorry not responded to this for a while, no plans as yet to do another batch prices have gone up on steel, last quote I got back in April was £90 if I ordered 10, assuming its gone up another 10-20% means it would be around £110 and I've noticed TS have dropped their price to 144 so no great saving.  Although for me it wasn't about cost but TS one didn't fit with my exhaust, who knows if we get more interested happy to get them done

  5. Thanks Alex but mines an HR and yes Nissan wanted £289 !! for a piece of pressed steel have bought a second hand one for 20 it was listed for VQ37HR but im pretty sure it will fit the 350 HR

  6. upon inspection there is a crack in my sump pan that has been repaired with gasket sealant, this has started to leak very slower so I will look to repair and probably replace later in year, inside sump no signs of anything blocking the pick up, there was already a mishimoto magnetic plug that was clean, although inside sump was a few metallic bits which seemed to be stuck to pan away from drain plug so hopefully its old stuff 🤞

     

    Oil was ready for changing and oil filter is a blue point one which I have never heard of or can find on google

  7. hi yes, warm oil pressure used to peak at 90, suddenly it started peaking at 120 max when pulling and dropping back to 70-80 when cruising, this just seemed quite a bit higher then what it was doing, however coming back the pressure did seem to return to previous readings 90 max on pulls, just read about checking sump for any possible reasons for blockages

     

    thanks for other tips👍

  8. Hi off to Combe JDM in July and have a few jobs to do before to feel happy before taking on track,

     

    Engine oil change and filter, this was done by previous owner last August and less then 3k ago and oil looks like new, although high pressure readings has gotten me a bit nervy so will change, am going to drop oil pan and just have a check etc, also will fit a magnetic drain plug, was looking at Greddy one but I noticed that  the TS one says its single use are they all single use ?

     

    Then gearbox oil, am using the Nissan oil + molyslip, did Diff oil when I had the subframe off so thats good

     

    Lastly brake fluid followed by 4 wheel alignment

  10. just getting round to refitting kidney braces and found one of the bolt holes needs drilling and re-tapping, looks like previous owner probably had to repair but the bolts that came out (not std bolts) and new ones I bought (std ones from torqen) are not tightening up, so thinking of drilling and tapping to M12

     

    Anyone had to repair these before ?

  11. Hi I have been asked by a few people recently for the W brace I got made start of year to overcome the problem I had with aftermarket W braces catching on m y exhaust 

     

    So I am getting another 10 made up, unfortunately as with everything price to get made has gone up, so price for one is £90 plus delivery (£8 hermes), these are unpainted so you will need to paint yourself

     

    If interested let me know

     

    See link below for original post and feedback on fitment etc.

  12. Well after visiting Japfest came back with so many ideas and desires, just got to work out if bank balance can cope 💰 😬

     

    Anyway looking online it seems most of kits available in UK are fibreglass, whereas would ideally want Polyurethane kits like this KBD Body Kits N3-R 1 Pc Polyurethane Front Bumper For Nissan 350Z 2003-2008 652789891401 | eBay as I think they are more durable, my son has GRP front bumper on his lowered IS200 and its now looking very drift spec if you know what I mean after various bumps on pot holes speed bumps etc 🤣

     

    Anybody know companies in UK selling Polyurethane kits ?
