Anyone Wrecking An M35 Or Importing Parts?

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.

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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
