Ok, just some stats for ya's :)

First tank of Caltex Vortex 98 that I put in my M35, well not a whole tank 41.43L to be precise :)

It got me 312km's, which I don't think is too bad considering the first 150km's was taking it easy and being contained and the second half, well need I elaborate ;)

Let's just say I gave the manual shift (with high rev's of course) and the 4WD traction a good test run ;)

The on-board system gives me a read out (the english parts I can read, the japanese, not so well!!) 6KM/L, the green leaf is a bit off putting tho because everytime you tickle the peddle the green disappears out of the leaf lol. I spose it's best for the environment if you don't touch the peddle :D

Anyway, only good things to report so far, nothing has fallen off or blown up (touch wood).

I've been up to the Central Coast and then back into the city and then to Blacktown, surprised in all of those K's today that no-one spotted me and posted!! :P

I'm glad I got the M35, everyone thinks it's like a 4 cylinder or something innocent, they all think they can go quicker or get off the line faster.. This is not the case and they were left embarrassed and confused lol

Anyway, this has been the rambling of a new Stagea owner, I'll be hopping along now :)

Gotta love that AWD, right? If I was stupid enough to street-race and risk my license and car, the results in the rain would almost always swing my way against Falcadores, etc. with RWD.

I wasn't racing as such, just getting egged on by people in NA Celica's and the likes :)

Then they heard my motor and realized they had underestimated the delivery wagon :P

Let's round up some Stagea's and do a run along the Putty Road to Singleton and then back on the F3, stop somewhere for lunch and a pow wow etc :D

take the blank piece out of the stock airbox and put a filter in there and youll have a nice sound that people also dont expect :P

my fuel economy is pretty shit as well, the dealer suggested i put some injector cleaner through it (car is at 100k) and this might fix it. but im haing gearbox problems - dont worry it doesnt seem common at all - and they think its either a misfire due to fuel (lack of or too much) or a torque converter problem.

anyway, im hoping its a fuel problem so my economy gets better!!

and feel free to go on about them, we already know they are an awesome car :D

Hahaha, I'll leave the airbox as it is for now. I'm happy with the power response and delivery and think it goes fast enough for atleast a few months :banana: There are only so many demerit points on a drivers licence ;)

Sorry to hear about your gearbox, hope it's not something major.

Hope you get it all sorted out and get it running 100% :)

6KM/L? Wow, I thought the M35's were heaps better with fuel consumption. That equates to about 16.5L/100KM. Maybe you need to replace o2 sensor?

Maybe I need to ease off on the pedal and drive it in auto instead of manual shifting... nah... it's more fun consuming the fuel :)

First time I had the car I was gunning it everywhere and achieved 5.5km/L. Now that i'm taking it easy it's doing 7.5km/L and getting about 550km on a full tank.

Also today I had to get a pink slip. Took it to a local workshop, the guy drove around the block, came back and almost shat himself when he got out. He said to me, "this thing goes pretty hard, does it have twin turbos or something?". I just smiled. He then got his other work mates and they swarmed around the car.

Congrats on the new car btw.

13.5-18.5L/100 for an M35 :)

gotten 9.6L/100km with 85% of that being fwy driving today, fair bit of lead foot, normally around town with a fair bit of heavy footedness it uses 11-12 with a few short fwy trips, or at worst 15-16!

all figures in this post is litres per 100km

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
