    M35 VQ25DET Coil Packs - Ebay or name brand from where?

    in Wagoneers

    Posted

    I need to get some new coil packs for my M35 VQ25DET ('02 model axis). I've got the part number 22448-AL615.

    Where can I get a set for a decent price that aren't trash? Ebay stuff is $180-280 a set for no name chinese stuff that I don't really want to take a chance on. Not sure where to get name brand stuff locally. Any suggestions?

    M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

    located in sydney's lower blue mountains...

    looking at a few guides for installing walbros into 350zs (i can't find a guide for an m35), a factory replacement would be good. i have the skills to do the job, but i don't think i really have the time to get it done on the weekend along with everything else i need to do :\

    M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

    in Wagoneers

    Posted

    so my m35 stagea didn't start the other day. the normally noisy fuel pump is clearly not priming when i turn the key so i'm almost 100% certain that it's dead. I've pulled the plug on it and checked that it's getting 12V (which it is) so it's a pump problem, not an imobiliser or supply problem.

    Sorry for the fresh thread, but I've searched and i'm still not entirely sure what the best way to go is for a replacement. I found nissan factory replacements for ~$400, too much info on scottym35's twin pumps, but nothing concrete on the "right" way to just replace my factory pump. I'm not modding anything else at this stage so just a standard or slightly better pump is fine for my needs.

    I'm thinking walbro as i understand i can just get the walbro 255 GSS342 for 350z or infinity and retro fit it with minimal complications - is this true? what about the bosch 044? is this a similarly easy installation?

    also, where's the best place to source one? i'm in no rush so i'm happy to buy online and wait a week or so but i don't want to get an ebay fake like the ones that were floating around a while back. can anyone recommend a good local or international store?

    Any advice on the installation? i'm keen to do it myself to save on labour and towing but obviously playing with the fuel system is something that i want to get right...

    Thanks guys

    Im thinking my next phone just needs to be able to do NTSC video out via svideo and that should keep me happy for a bit longer - my current android phone (Motorola Milestone) lacks this feature :(

    for the record, the samsung galaxy s will do it (NTSC) via the nokia 3.5mm -> 3x RCA cable, but the output isn't perfect - although i've heard of others getting perfect results, my phone has a pretty noticeable hum going on when video out is enabled so the RCA audio quality is very, very poor. regular audio (ie, 3.5mm with the tv-out option switched off) sounds great though.

    the next round of phones (like the sgs 2) will come with hdmi outputs via microusb so my plan is to grab one of them and downgrade the output to composite before i plug it into my tuner...

    as for google maps, i haven't had those sort of problems since the last big update a few months ago, but yes, it was very frustrating. i'm more annoyed when it makes up routes or sends you in loops for no reason though... i think you certainly get what you pay for, but in my case the price is right.

    In and around the capital cities that should be fine, but when you're driving out of the main cities you'll struggle for bandwidth/signal if you't not with on Telstra (in my experience at least) - and then you'll have no maps domokun.gif

    newest version of google maps does route caching - you tell it where you want to go while you have reception, it caches all the route data for you so you can travel without the need for more data. i presume it falls over if you need to re-route.

    ymmv, but i've never had issues with google maps using too much bandwidth and i'm on three...

    Tv Tuners Once Again - The New Asuka

    in Wagoneers

    Posted

    I've only ever seen HDMI out on car tuners, sorry.

    However, I can ask the manufacturer if they could do one for you. This exquisite one (sorry, I just love it on their brochure) never came with the AV input originally. That was a mod they did for me so we could run other devices thru it. They modded 2 samples and had them to me to test in about a week!

    Let me get back to you on that one.

    Edit - can you do without the AV input? ie if they changed it so that the HDMI connector was an input (not output) and it didn't have the AV input would that do? Or do you want it as it is PLUS a HDMI input?

    I think i would probably want to retain the rca input as i want to be able to fit a reversing camera at some point (unless there is another way around this that i'm not aware of) but if there's no way to have both then the HDMI is the one that i need. if you could enquire with the supplier as to whether or not it is possible it would be much appreciated.

    thanks

    great info guys.

    commsman: in your travels, have you come across a tv tuner with an hdmi receiver? I'm keen to run hdmi out of my phone and into the factory A/V system. The phone (samsung galaxy s, soon to be a galaxy s 2 ) will also do RCA via 3.5mm, but it's a noisy signal that i think would need particularly high impedance inputs to counter this :\

    edit: forgot to mention, I'm aware of the hdmi to rca convertor boxes available from ebay, etc, but with the A/V signals already bouncing through so many boxes, i'm keen to avoid any extra equipment if possible...

    Link To Hdi Intercooler Kit Group Buy, M35

    Group buy has now closed guys, but we did manage 8 orders all paid up :)

    Just waiting on the tracking numbers from HDi but I believe that 6 kits were send out on Friday while we waited for slow-arse banks to process the last 2 payments.

    Thanks to you all for the great response (10 orders in 4 weeks is pretty ambitious methinks).

    Ps. for those who didn't make it in, I will probably look at another HDi Group Buy towards mid 2011

    thanks for the effort. I was initially interested but with my stagea still being complied and not likely to be sitting in my driveway until after the new years break, and the fact that i'm out of the country for the better part of february, it looked like i was going to buy the cooler and have it sit in the garage til after summer was over. later in the year in time for next summer sounds like a pretty good idea to me...

    M35 Dump Pipes Again

    in Wagoneers

    The stagea exhaust seems pretty atypical - in most exhausts the dump would definitely not be a significant restriction. what samuri says stands true in the majority of cases however based on several pieces of anecdotal evidence and the pretty pictures of a big hole becoming a really little hole (ie, the stock dump and 1st cat on the last page) i'm more than happy to accept that a better flowing aftermarket dump is going to make a discernible difference.
