Upgraded ARX brakes with R34GTT brakes and V35 wheels.  Pads not bedded in yet but it feels way better than the slotted and dimpled rotors and EBC reds that were there before.Also replaced the AFM to resolve the issue with the intake let temp sensor (code P0110).R34GTT brakes on ARX.jpg

Finally got around to "fixing" something that has bothered me since I've had my M35. The beeping when you have your keys in the ignition with the door open. I know it's a safety thing but I often sit in my car with the door open listening to tunes or for when you are working on the car with the door open. I just took out the little disc from the dash cluster buzzer.

Thanking you. Always wanted to rip this thing out.

A few parts to fit on the weekend. Left front balljoint, right rear bearing and rocker gaskets (I'm over that burning oil smell).

Also broke an injector pintle when doing the coolant bypass mod so going to do new o-rings, pintles and intake gaskets which were looking a bit ratty.

Fitted most of these bits over the weekend. Ball joint, PITA! Rear wheel bearing, PITA! Rocker gaskets, small PITA! Injector pintles and o-rings, OK.

Then it came to the intake manifold gaskets. Plenum gasket, "hang on, that looks a bit different to mine". Check my part number: Stagea, check. VQ35DE.........crap!

That's ok, the original one isn't THAT bad. Better check the intake manifold gaskets. Stagea, check. VQ25DET, check. Off with the intake manifold, "hang on, they look a bit different"...........crap!

So going by the permaseal website, these ARE for VQ25DET: http://www.aagaskets.com.au/EngineDetails.aspx?EngineID=2327

These ones are different again to VQ35DE so was there different port sizes on VQ25DET?

That'll learn me not to buy genuine!

When I do get the right parts I think I'll do the plenum spacer mod at the same time.

On a side note, I found a dude in Russia who turboed his 350GT using VQ25DET parts.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
