Hi everybody,

A while ago I took out one of my mirrors on a pole I didn't see, and I am chasing the left hand wing mirror cover to replace my damaged one. I don't need the motors, glass or light, just the outer cover. Nissan will not sell me just the outer cover and they want $560 + GST for the entire mirror. Can anyone help?

Thanks very much,

Brendan Diss

yup, i can.

ill have a pair of silver mirrors complete and working in about 2 weeks if you can wait that long? id probably sell you a whole one for $100 + shipping. id love to part it up, but ive done that before and still have bits of an S13 mirror at home from 10 years ago :(

OR, get a pair of mirror covers with indicators from IM. set you back a bit more, but they look really good!

also, i V35 mirrors are the same and will fit!

feel free to PM me if you like.

+1 on finding a wreck.

I may need a passenger side rear lower suspension arm (what the bottom of the damper is bolted to)

I was actually just after the bush, but it comes as an "all-in-one" unit.

*sigh* As you can see from Parts Master at the bottom of the image, it is just another part that is specific to the M35

Any wrecks around?

I have not yet contact Nissan requesting a price (my wallet shudders each and every time!).

they cant push the bush out?? aftermarket??

i rekon there will be a generic sized one that will fit, or something from a V35/Z33. nissan wouldnt change all that much, it would cost too much to manufacture a small volume for M35s (then again there are a shit load of them around in japan im told)

is this dew to that creaking sound you hear with the m35 while going up driveways etc?

i've also got a bad vibration occasionally on breaking. it doesnt happen all the time so i can cancel out brake rotors

Nah, it is because the bolt is seized in the lower shock mount bush (the nut can be taken off, but the bolt will not come out).

I don't think it has anything to do with the creaking, I would put that down to the front shocks.

I had my Nismo suspension (with the exception of LHR damper) installed and the creaks have completely disappeared.

yeah the tein's sometimes creak apparently? i'm not entirely sure. i thought maybe it was a sway bar still waiting on the Gb to happen for them tho..

must try find this shudder, scary when driving on the snowy roads and it does this.

Is it when you are at less than ~15kph? In snow mode??

Mine sometimes did this when reversing, but I have replicated it in the above conditions.

Get a transmission service... with either Nissan's Matic J AND their transmission additive satchel, or another fully synthetic, high quality fluid (such as Redline, Motul etc).

Should clear it up.

nar its defiantly got something to do with the steering/suspension arms/bushes etc..

in normal driving conditions. but only happens every now and then. can be cold, can be hot can be as soon as i get in the car, can be after a while.

on the topic now on tranny.. transmax z good to put in? and what was in this satchel?

The V35 & 350Z manuals (same auto trans as M35 stagea) say over and over to only use Nissan Matic J fluid. It says other fluids may deteriorate components over time...

I realise nissan aren't going to recommend other brands though...

I recently had my gearbox serviced, and the workshop used the Nissan Matic J because its all they had (not that there's anything wrong with it - I'd say its up there with anything else), but apparently Castrol do a Transmax E which would've been the one to use (according to the workshop). Dont quote me though.

well i think nissan say use matic j in the getrag for 34 also.. which i have in my 32..

but i was told transmax z was the best oil for the job. does both transfer and manual gearcase..

i just have some at home so was considering using it in the stagea..

does anyone know about this satchel? the nissan dealer i went to told me i was stupid for suggesting that. and that nissan dont do that, it must be some aftermarket thing that a dealer put in for the customer......

Dunno what is in it, but all new auto Nissan's have it put into their transmissions.

Anyone else is not supposed to have it included in a service, it was just that the guys wanted to put it in when they serviced my trans last year.

I would imagine it is a combination of synthetic additives.

Certainly made a difference in mine!

They did tell me that t was from some company in the US and was designed specifically for Nissan for Nissan transmissions.

For some reason, it can be had for $30 if your dealership is friendly towards we "fringe dwellers" with our "underworld-roaming" cars.

out of interest i just looked this up.

http://www.tds.castrol.com.au/pdf%5C9070_T...828_2008_12.pdf

its specifically for japanese built transmissions and the pdf also says it is an alternative to nissan matic j.

The transmax z is probably fine too, but from the sounds of it this one is better? dunno.

      R33 GTST Sh*tbox to Polished T*rd

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.

      Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
