another alternative.


purchase a dball from ebay and have them flash it for nissan 370z and buy the t-harness for nissan which is THNISS3 - NISS3HT T-Harness from crutchfield or ebay.

takes about 15 minutes. 3 lock presses on the oem fob and it turns on!

Thought I post an update.

5/2014, my MR Works led headlights were failing. Went to George in Alhambra and had him fixed the landing strips and added Amber halos. So far so good.

6/2014, installed illuminated kick plates. Found a new set for cheap on eBay.

9/2014, I went with thicker side wall tires (255/35 Fronts, 285/30 Rears) Hankook V12. I was constantly getting bent lips with my previous setup. So far so good. I also went back to the original finish on the MS1s (polished silver barrels).

10/2014, I finally upgraded my stereo to a Pioneer AVH 4000NEX and Polk MM6501 components. I went with the NEX because of the Apple Carplay functionality. Also installed Alpine rear camera.

1/2015, I purchased the JDM illumination lighting package from Japanparts.com. Footwell lights up orange when doors open, turns off after 10 seconds when doors closed. Footwell lights up orange when headlights on.

2/2015, Got my short block replaced for oil consumption under warranty at 34,000 miles.

Finally, I'm going to have Seb@SZ install 4.08 gears, whiteline differential bushings, Quaife LSD, and Eibach sway bars this coming Wedmesday. Can't wait!:happydance:

Just got back from Specialty Z. I wasn't able to get the Eibach sways installed. Will save that for another time. The differential was installed in less than 3 hours. I was super concerned about extra noise, vibrations, whine from the Whiteline bushings and the 4.08 gears. Lucky for me, I did not experience any additional NVH. As for the 4.08s, I did not notice any difference in street driving under normal acceleration. However, under moderate to heavy throttle is when I noticed it most. 1 and 2 gear are very quick. Acceleration in 7th gear on the highway is much improved. I do 90% of my driving on surface streets so hopefully I will not notice a drop in MPG.

As for the Quaife, I have not noticed its presence yet. I haven't pushed it around corners yet. Will report back in a few weeks with more reviews on the Quaife. I have heard that it is best to turn off VDC in order to maximize the full potential of the Quaife. Any comments?

Oh yea, cruise control doesn't work.

Would you mind sharing the steps to shorten the height of the shifter?

kz34wa 08-16-2015 07:56 AM

did you have the motordyne catback+testpipe setup?
If that was too loud, do you think motordyne+HFC will still be too loud?

I did have ART pipes and Motordyne E370; it was loud, mean, and aggressive. Cold starts are insane, WOT is insane. Had to go back to Invidia Gemini. Maybe I'm just getting old. LOL

HFC will help, but supposedly ART pipes are advertised as being just as quiet as HFCs.
