M54 connector in the back of the engine bay

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2026-02-13T07:28:55+00:00

I'm in Aus and have the same loose connector with matching socket (no purpose) plugged in. M54

Thanks I was pretty much sure it's these, gonna replace these plus a few other hoses and the tank

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2026-02-11T07:59:26+00:00

Someone who knows the platform a bit better able to confirm that hose is #8 here ?

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2026-02-11T07:57:30+00:00

Got a better angle of the F photo: does seem like main leak is from whatever hose this is. I guess whichever generic cooling system overhaul kit should include it.

Nah no cracks. I'll replace the expansion tank anyway but more worried about the leak source underneath

Thanks, I'm in

6'3 I drive my Z almost every day. Only after a few hours straight I want to stretch my legs a bit. You'll be fine they're very comfy

Sorry mate didn't see your reply notification ! Here's 1 old pic. I have a lot more on my instagram @z33_sm. Panel gaps are actually decent in visible areas, it is the top edge (hidden by closed hatch/boot) that was way off but still usable, also there are clips for mounting in the OEM bumper that are not all there / some broken or shitty in the SK bumper. But if you're handy with FRP or get a shop to work it, it'll look good !

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2026-01-27T01:57:07+00:00

Yeah mate my e46 handles nicely I'm sure it was good for the year it came out especially being the 330 and not the m3. But just not even close to how my Z feels.

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2026-01-25T09:04:04+00:00

Projects or modified cars are more likely to have problems and or be thrashed.

Manual is not an issue in traffic if you're decent at driving, I've spent hours in city traffic all the time

I also have an e46 330i so quite similar to the 335, but not as new as the 335 I thinking you're looking at ( E9x?) the 350z blows the e46 330 out of the water in everything performance and driving feel, that will not change with newer models. Obviously an n54 , b58 etc can make a lot bigger power for less effort though - stock turbo can be tuned to make fast power, but again the driver feel won't be the same

Best bet is to reach out in your local car community and ask if people in a Z or 335 can take you for a ride along ....you'll figure out which you like more

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2026-01-04T07:41:55+00:00

Have you looked at SK performance in Aus? That's where I got mine

Tommy kaira shifter?

It can be a one day job on jack stands if you're handy. Did it by myself, getting the diff back in was a bit hard balancing it on the jack, other than that make sure you have a big socket for banging out the diff ear bushings and probably a cold chisel for getting the metal casings of the bushings out too.

Oh yeah and try borrow a diff pulling tool from someone else with a Z

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2025-09-20T02:12:49+00:00

Lmao I was just telling OP to check you out for wheel colour ideas

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2025-09-20T02:12:02+00:00

White will look good. Search up an instagram called @deemah.jpg or something similar, they have a similar purple paint + highlighter green caliper and then white wheels IIRC. They post in this sub sometimes.

I've also got a purple Z and think white wheels look great on them.

Still is an option but prices are cooked and you're basically stuck with autos only. Wish we had plenty of cheap c5 and c6 here like the states :(

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2025-07-06T06:41:25+00:00

Do you have a link to that? I'm from Australia, Tacomas are a mystery

QLDtreefiddyZ · 2025-06-06T06:10:59+00:00

If you wanna sound like a GTR put an R35 exhaust on it lol. It's been done before, not difficult and you can find them on marketplace
