Thanks Terry. One of my favourite skylines, hands down. i just wished i'd kept a few of the old 240k's i wrecked by the dozen 20 or so years back. Worth alot more than all the 1600's i collect these days ! Hope to see all the R32's in force this year. How quick has the year gone !

What was the specs on the presicion turbo Dale ?. Not sure on the emanage/fcon upgrade yet Scotty. I do all the work on my cars. (mechanic +22 yrs) this one wil be a challange, but i'm sure i'll manange with it. ( & swear a bit..) Looks like i might have to fab up a new intake whilst i'm there. Bit of work to do & Loads of room to work on ! (lol). There seems to be a few oil feed mods to do as well. What's involved with that ? Thanks for your help gents !

Ive just launched my std turbo on my M35. What are the current upgrades , given that i'm not planning on going major on the mods. I'd like more boost, but not a laggy pig either! Do i just get a high flowed std turbo, like http://www.digi-hardware.com/m35highflow.htm , or a new unit ? Any recommendations ?

it happens every now & then in between gears. I'll be looking into the Kompact BOV asap. Where does the factory boost guage connect up ? Mine is is always reading in the neg & occasionally goes to 0. Is there a guage you can swap in it's orig place without going all ricer & mounting one.?

Factory bov farting ? Is that the noise i hear at around 3500 on occasions, from the drivers sideof the car ?

That's a bugger (with the ecu talk) i found them just after i posted this . I've heard of a few quality dramas with the early 3's, but am wondering if the newer 4 it's worth a shot.

I am looking at purchasing a consult 3 or 4. Has anyone purchased one of these lately & had any issues with them. I've heard a few of the consult 3's were abit dodgy & wanted to see if anyone has been usuing the 4 with any problems?. Although i only need the 3 for the M35 stagea, it could be usefull to have for the marano i have in the family. There seems to be a few on offer, from ones that just diagnose, ones to re-program & bluetooth units. They all seem to be coming out of china & sold thru a few different ebay accounts. Here's one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Consult-4-for-Nissan-Infiniti-and-Newest-Renault-Diagnostic-Tool-OBD2-/271424233098?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f32251e8a

Perfect . thx for the advise. My luck is , that it would leak. I ordered a new one today, along with a set of BC BR's from Just Jap. Going all out next friday. New Auto, exhaust & dump, HDI FMI & Bc's, R/C gaskets & a service... also a set of wheel bearings in the front.. Going to be a busy friday..

Which rear twin piston calipers run the 14mm bolts as against the 12mm R33 rears. I tried to swap the R33 calipers to the rear of my M35 & found the bolts too small. (12 >14mm) Looking for a cheap upgrade for the rear brakes. Are the R34 GTR rears running the 14mm bolt ?

found one @ just jap. i'll order one when i get the bc coilovers. http://justjap.com/index.php/genuine-nissan-turbo-dump-pipe-gasket-nissan-stagea-nm35-vq25det.html Nissan p/n 14445-4P200

When i swap the auto next week, i'm upgrading the exhaust & dump pipe. I Thought i might replace the gasket while i was there. My luck is that it will leak after all the work !

Does anyone know what turbo > dump pipe gasket to use on a std turbo. ? Is there a generic gasket to use or need to go genuine ? cheers.

Bugger... today my M35 developed a major slip in drive. Ok in reverse. Anyone else have this problem.? Who has an auto for sale in syd ?? Might be a quick fix, till i can see whats wrong with this one. It's the family daily drive..

Thanks Dave & Dale.. That filter looked rank !

Has anyone changed the A/C cabin filter ? Also what filtet/part number did you use ?

now your talking.. such a better box & worht the $$ . ( except, i don't have any to throw around atm..!)

keen to see some progress on the manual upgrades..

I just ran the factory R34 line , that i got with my calipers. Awesome upgrade for the $$

Thanks for coming along , It was a cracking day with 138 cars on display. Sure the 1600's were well represented, but their was a whole lot more other Dato's on display , with people down from Brizzie, melbourne & adelaide. I'll try & get a few pics. We managed to film the day , so i hope we can get the DVD out soon.. Cheers.. Mark.

sure are.. Other than them, i'd try SSS @ girraween. 98966111.. they have the same deal ..same price..

Yep $350 for the discs, calipers & mounting hardware, from Just Jap in Kirrawee.. I machined the discs & always fit new pads after machining.

ive got 19x8.5's on the front of mine, running the R34 GTT's Have no idea what the off set is.. But its perfect. clears the caliper by a few mm's. What rear calipers( running the twin spot) & discs are a swap over ?
