hey i got my m35 now on the road and i don't know what the problem is.

car did about 380km to a bit over half a tank an now after refillling i'v used roughly the same amount of fuel and have about a 120km less on the dial. the only thing done to the car was a oil change and stuff like that so i don't know what the problem is. also i have been taking it relatively easy to get som good milage to. has anyone had similar problems? its a 2001 rs v four m35 with 60k on the clock. cheers liam

Taking it easy does not seem to make much difference. I get around 500k out of a tank - town or trip.

They run rich and need aftermarket tuning to get the best economy and performance.

I'm waiting on a tuner to give the final go ahead to do mine.

so wat youre saying is an emanage ultimate or something? theres no way a vac line has come loose is there(altho power seems to be good)? waht about changing spark plugs will that help much?

plugs will probably help, and depending on how many miles are on your car, they might be due for a change anyway.....

as for ultimate emanage, two of us own them now for their M35s, neither of us have performed the necessary installations :( but mines in the pipeline!

i though there was a guy on here who had done it? he did exhaust emanage and maybe a cooler(or it wasn't necessary) and got roughly 200awkw. how muh is the emanage and install and tune? 500-600 for tune? and are they vehicle specific? i've a 180 i'm to be building for the track so money doesn't flow to freely.

nah they arent vehicle specific. but you can get looms that have all the wiring done so you can just plug it in! however, for an M35 AFAIK they dont exist

ok so maybe there is someone else that has one too?

my bad that was a s2 34 stag if anyone with a 35 and ecu has one let us know how its goin.

No VQ25DET harness for eManage Ultimate unfortunately.

I know that there was a guy in NSW that had the Haltech 350z Platinum used as a piggyback ($$$ouch$$$) on his M35 and got around the 200awkw figure.

The eManage is basically a universal piggyback, as long as you know what you are doing when installing it.

I believe that Jetwreck is going for the Haltech interceptor for his piggyback.

As far as I know, the only ECU that has a plug in for VQ25DET atm is the HKS F-CON V which is great if you live in Japan.

Unfortunately I am not aware of many people in Aus that can tune the F-CON, let alone well.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
