So I'm back in the Stagea game, have been away far too long. Moved to WA for a job i couldn't knock back. Have had two Series 2 C34's in the past, and have made the jump to the M35. I wanted the comfort as I drive upwards of an hour each day on a very long straight road... The X-trail I bought has as much balls as a newborn. So I needed something with a bit of power.

Here is a photo of the Stag...Currently getting repairs in Japland as some douche damaged in inbetween the auction yard and shipping yard. Luckily they took responsibility and Ben from j-spec is chasing it up for me.

Have a few things planned for the car already. Cloth interior, has the tv, hopefully it has cruise control?

Nope - no cruise control. They have a different Grill - with a radar thingo on it- someone correct me ifd i'm wrong !

BUT - being sneaky - I can see you have a cargo net in there- 1st pic in thru the back window, its mounted up on the roof lining! Good part to have- about $400 from Nissan!

Welcome to M35 ownership!

Don't know if this link will work, but:

Can I remove "21082C" from part "21082".. The nuts that hold on the mount for the radiator fan? Can I remove the entire fan without screwing up any engine timing and stuff?

the engine timing is ALL electronic.

did you undo the 4 small nuts to get the fan off? if you need to turn it, loosen a belt, or just turn the motor with a socket and breaker bar from the larger wheel at the bottom. make sure the transmission is in neutral.

ok and after looking at that diagram, yes it all comes apart. just make sure you do it all up properly. the bit the fan is bolted to is a clutch that expands as the water temp goes up thus turning the fan faster.

Awesome, thanks mate. Radiator is IN. Fricking marathon effort I tell ya.

I have read it somewhere before, but on the standard radiator, which of the holes for the Transmission "cooler" is in and which is out?

Tried following them back to the transmission but can't see shit.

Guess I could start the car up but it's kind of in bits at the moment..

i would say its bidirectional :) as long as the fluid is passing through the radiator its gonna be heated whichever direction it flows.

however, i THINK one of the pipes is slightly larger than the other. but dont quote me on that. that may have been one of my aftermarket hoses

Quick Question- To those with Transmission coolers, what size are the fittings- 3/8's or 5/16ths?

Looking to get one to cope with Transgo, and the turbo kit- prob just go the Repco PWR unit. 28cm x 15cm

Hmm is that a stock car with aero front bar?

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
