LOL. Smartarse :D

Hey! I live on a dirt road (and I am a bit lazy)

No refections on mine bud. M35 has a soft rubber/plastic dash.

No shiny plastic here.

C34's dont have a plastic dash either, its a soft rubber/vinyl dash.

Fair enough... It has been a while since I was in a C34.

Why the need for a dash mat then?

just to protect it a bit from the sun. my old R32 had the same style dash and after a few years of the aussie sun the plastic trim around the aircon vents started to warp and the vinyl layer started to bubble in a couple of spots. i've seen others that are heaps worse that with splits in the vinyl dash layer.

but i guess if your car is parked undercover at work and at home you should be right. at the moment i use one of those windshied reflector things to protect my dash when i'm parked at work.

Haven't seen one.

May I ask why you need one though? You shouldn't be getting any reflection off the dash due to its surface!

IS it not EACH TO THERE OWN :D ,if you spend all that MONEY on a great car why would you not want to PROTECT it FROM are HARSH SUN as you see how much a NEW DASH would cost to REPLACE :huh: ,& as i own a C34 & the DASH GLARE is bad,i am more then happy to PROTECT it,IF i can find a PERTH MN35 owner that would like to have it measured up so i can see if we can get one made & for it to LOOK good then please PM me & we shall see what we can sort out,cheer`s chuckie.

Settle down Charles.

No, it is each to their own.

As stated BEFORE your post, I did not think about the sun and in no way am I stating that people shouldn't get one. I was only interested as to why people want them.

Look, I understand that you are the one having them made up, and from all accounts you do a really good job, and that any negative comments may rob you of some coin... but maybe you need to re-read my comments before you get all hot and bothered.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
