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.

Tom @ Bd4's in Sydney.

Someone @ gt Auto in brisbane

well i hope they are both good at tuning :) since i will be using one of them for my gtr

Its a bit of a crazy web

but http://www.j-sp.biz/g.swf for some japanese guy's m35 modified

yea so i'm guessing trent at status would definetly know wat he is doing so i might invest in the emanage ultimate and see how i go. but i need a full exhauset first of all any one else want to order some magnaflow gere in bulk? i'm gonna go to my exhaust guy ask him wat he wants to put in then order the setup from the us for my stag and my 180 trak beast

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
