    LSD oil change

    in Servicing

    Posted

    Supposed to be at P3 but the 350z has a LSD viscous coupling

     

    so as Point 15 on the service sheet states if it has a viscous coupling then it doesn't need doing at all

     

    How I interprate it anyhow

    Scorpion Exhaust

    That price seems good to me. Value for money it's a great exhaust. Had problems fitting mine though and it's still not 100%. Quite a few people have experienced fitting problems on here too. Apart from that it's all good!! :)

     

    how do you mean rob "fitting problems" was it around the diff

    does that mean it wont be changed or there is no need but it might be changed - mines in tomorrow and if they arent going to change it then Ill get the coolant changed as have the brake fluid changed anyhow

     

    Is this the only difference in the p2 and p3 or are there other checks done

    The Differences & Spec

    in JDM imports

    Posted

    Just for info - if anybody is looking into fitting a performance exhaust - the JDM version of the Zed doesnt have fins on its LSD housing (neither do the USDM versions) unlike the UK versions

     

    This may be an advantage when importing an exhaust - obviously they are made to be fitted to cars without the fins if coming from the land of the rising sun or US of A.

     

    UK cars sometimes have to alter the exhaust hangers if they are lucky or alter the pipes and or fins on the LSD housing :headhurt:

     

    In a nutshell all exhausts should fit the JDM models - its only the UK that seem to have bother

    JDM LSD

    in JDM imports

    Posted

    hi all , been searching but cant find info on the LSD housing - am I right thinking the UK model has cooling fins on the diff housing and the jap one doesn't - looking at importing an exhaust from USA and I believe the US cars are the same as the JDM's ie no fins

    That's a great tip about holding down the recirc/fresh air button ... I will have to give that a go first thing tomorrow ...

     

    It's brilliant what you can learn from this site :thumbs:

     

    +2 now set up, cheers

     

    PS if you have a poundland near you they sell a larger version of the silca granuals in a sort of Tupperware box with a grill on top used for homes with codensation problems but a good way to help sort your problem out

    You go to Evans Halshaw in Boro :scare::scare:

     

    I took mine there for a P1 through neccesity in Jan last year.

    I would never take it back.

     

    You would be best to either go see Coops like mentioned above, or get a price from Falcon Performance (just off Cargo Fleet Lane). Or if you want to travel a little further, you could go to Envy Performance Al

     

    Same situation took it there because I didnt know any better and needed it sorting - they must have preferred yours as mine only had 2 miles on it - so just a quick blast up the trunk road :p

     

    They also washed it - but I didnt tell them not to - so cant complain

     

    just waiting for people to come back with some prices :dots:

    Heavy Condensation

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    All the condensation is water vapour from your breath, so you could try not breathing while driving - that should do the trick

     

    or as said aircon on (will dry out the air) or try turning the recycle off so its draws air from outside and put on the fan , it will only form up until the glass temp increases or the moisture is removed from the air

    been like that in Teesside since before Xmas :cold: - have had to park car up a few times when I couldnt even get up onto my drive - The 350z in the snow is very interesting drive :wacko:

     

    Still the works carpark when coming in for nights or first thing in the morning when very few cars about is a right skid/drift fest :yahoo:

     

    Do you drive with the traction control on or off in this weather :wacko:
