Has anyone here removed the front and rear bumpers on the M35 models. I'm going to get the front and rear bumpers resprayed and want to make sure I don't break anything.

How about removing the interior rear door card? Need to get the body panel off under the rear lights to paint as well.

Also the side moulding on the doors, are they just taped on so there are no holes in the doors?

Thanks,

Rhys

yeah the side moulds are just double-sided taped onto the car. be VERY careful when you remove them, maybe heat them up gently before removing them, or leave the car in the sun for an hour before you do it

as for the bumpers, im not sure, but id like to know too lol

ive done the front bar

lot's of little clips and 2 bolts from the fenders that hold the bar on the guard..

also the bottom splash guards are held on to the front bar as well

u need to remove around 20-30 bolts and plastic clips to take the bar off

Thanks guys.

Front bumper doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Its the rear one that interests me the most, seems a lot of the clips etc are hidden from the eye not like the front one.

Also forgot to ask about removing the rear boot interior door card, will edit my post.

Cheers :thumbsup:

rear bumper is rairly streight forward, you need to remove the rear inner pannels to get access to some bolts /screws that bolt through the inside of the rear quarter pannels down to the rear bar (these ones are fun, dont drop the bolts as you will have trouble finding them). then there are a couple of screws at the back.

On the rear tailgate there is a plastic panel under the lights and number plate that I wish to remove. Has anyone seen how this comes off? Just asking first before I 'test' how it does :) .

I pulled off the insides of the tailgate today to fit a reverse camera and if my memory serves me right there are bolts on the inside of the tailgate that hold that piece on.

To get to them do it in the following order.

1) remove bolt just behind wiper motor. There is a black square cap covering the bolt.

2) pull the black cover on the tailgate (covering the wiper motor) up. there are 4 clips holding it down that just pull out, straight up.

3) remove all the little brown, and black clips holding on the carpet cover. On all 4 sides. It should just come off now.

Cheers

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
