Hey all,

I got the M35 on Tuesday afternoon and have already put almost 300klms on it :D

I have a quick question, does the xanavi version of the navigation system have the economy leaf and so on? I can not seem to find it if it does. I had a look at the guys M35 around the corner (autech axis) and this has the normal Nissan program with the economy leaf.

Thanks in advance.

all nav units are xanavi units?

im pretty sure

it's the 3rd button

then toggle with the stick

do you mean the 3rd button from left to right? and on the top or bottom?

thanks, ill give this a try :D

Hey guys, I tried the above advice but the third button did not do anything, it does not make a noise or anything. Also, from the photos I have seen of other peoples screens, mine is very different, it does not say nissan on it but has 'birdview' with all blue backgrounds and so on. There is only 1 screen that is the 4th button accross from the left on the top with any kind of info on it and it has only got a very basic compass and the rest of the info is these little graphs and so on.

Ooops, my error :)

When I jumped in the car last night, I noticed that it IS the 4th button across that you will need to hit.

The leaf is then the top right option.

Sorry about that Cam.

That leaf is pointless!! haha economy and m35.. does not go together

I guess you just have the wrong mods then! My fuel economy is through the roof on a standard tune.

Travelled 136kms last night... mostly freeway (ahem, tollway), but with some main road and residential in there too. Averaged 94kph according to the trip computer and 13.9km/L.

Which works out at 7.2L/100kms. :):):)

Will be putting up a post, with pics regarding this mod very soon.

Cam, you ought to put and exhaust gas temperature probe in your exhaust to make sure you do not lean out tooooo much.

I am looking forward to seeing the details of your mod.

I will soon enough (I hope).

It is only when cruising that the economy is fantastic. When the engine is under load (accelerating) it actually uses more fuel than normal.

Think of it like a 1.5x (example) modifier... 1.5x fuel use when accelerating. 1.5x less fuel used when cruising.

Oh, and the throttle is a fair it more sensitive as well.

...the room goes quiet while we all wait with baited breath to hear about this new mod...

7.2L/100km. Thats DAMN good for any car!!

you serious?!

I realise you have a larger turbo and exhaust, both which will help...but even so, I had both of these (+tuning) on my previous stagea and even then it couldn't crack the 10L/100km mark on the highway.

Best I've seen from the M35 is 9.5L/100km and that was 100% highway, no A/C, constant 100km/h in 5th gear.

Very serious... actually scale that down to "quite serious". I don't like getting "very serious".

I don't have a dump done yet, so I don't know if that will aid or diminish economy.

Didn't have the A/C on, but I did have the climate control on if that makes any difference. (18 in cabin, 13 outside)

far out thats good, i can get 7.5L from the fiat on a bad run tho :(

Fanboy.

Maybe you should give your wife the Stag and just get around in your little Fiat :bunny:

i was getting 700 out of a tank to and from the snow..

so it doesnt sound like its going to help me all that much, whats needed is less fuel everywhere else on the map..

400-500km around town, i do drive rather quickly tho. tho its yet to bother me really

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
