If you remove the turbo you will probably find it will be easier to remove the broken section after soaking in wd40 or similar and griping the extended part at the back of the flange? Maybe..? :laugh:

easy out it...piece of piss mate. You wont get any skills unless you start giving things ago yourself. Watching someone else do it helps, but you gotta get that mechanical/engineering 'feel' inorder to be half good at these things. That means practice :wub: or forever be paying someone else to do stuff for you :laugh:

threadweld 0418246531 is the guy i used, it was a while ago but. On a positive note he works magic cause i left him with a mess and he done it no sweat

Don't go any where near it with a easy out mate, if you have never used one. If you break a easy out off in there then you are screwed. The material that easy out's are made of is REAL hard and you will have a hell of a time trying to get it out. Trust me I know from experience.

Do it urself. sprey wd40 or penetrene. let it soak for an hour or two and then use the largest drill you can safely use without threat of hitting your threads. best to use a pin puch to mark your drill point so drill will stay in centre. use the biggest possible easy out and make sure you buy the good brand and not cheap shit from the local $2 shop. Make sure you tap the easy out hard on the head to seat the easy out and also to shock to metal thread around the bolt you are trynig to remove. It really is an easy job and at the end of the day if you cant do it or you wreck it, THEN call someone to do it. Dont be scared to try as you are already in a position where you are thinking of calling someone. At the end of the day if you stuff it all up, you will still be in the same position you were in to start with ( i.e. having to call someone). SO give it a go. Nothing like working with your hands n building shit to fully appreciate being a man with skills, not a boy with a wallet.

oh and if you do snap it off dont worry. and good mech will have super hardened drill bits to drill the easy-out out and if you stuff the threads there are helicoils ( thread inserts to bring slogged out holes/threads back to their original sizes. To many pussy boys in here to scared or stupid to get their hands dirty.......

Have you ever tried to drill a broken easy out??? You can't. Super hard drill bit ??? Diamond and tungsten tip drill bit dont even touch them.

its safer to drill it out and then knock out the threads. if the head of the bolt/stud has sheared off due to the bolt/stud being locked in there really tight then there is a chance the easy out could brake.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
