I am getting a bit sick of having a nice battery cover one one side of the engine bay while there is a gaping hole on the other side which has nothing but uglies on display (plus I'd like to hide the catch can ;))

I have ordered a G35 battery cover "kit" from the US which, I am told, will require cutting and at least 1 bracket to fit properly.

Will post pics etc when I fit it.

Now, I figure I can't be the only one that thinks this way (although it is a common occurrence :down:) so depending on how many people (if any) would be interested and how much needs to be done to fit it, I will look into a group buy in the not-too-distant future.

Cost will be a maximum of $160 delivered to your door with clips and whatever bracket(s) are necessary and will obviously be cheaper the more people want to go ahead with it, but for now, if you are interested feel free to say so :blink:

is be interested. but would want to have a look at fitment first.

Of course, not after deposits at the moment, just an eoi

I will only offer a kit that is ready to clip straight in :blink:

Very bloody interested!

By the way Cam, I modified the catch can by cutting a hole in the top, threading it and fitting a knurled cap with o ring. Now I can run the stainless scourers inside it. I am making a bracket to hold it in too if you want one.(instead of the cable ties)

LOL... yeah wouldn't mind. Will save me a bit of time this weekend making one up (cable ties were temporary :D )

Scourer? again?? Why not take the top off (unscrews I am told) and add a divider down the middle to force the air down and around? Maybe better, yes?

They are definitely threaded but I couldnt budge it. Now I have a fancy knurled cap. :D

I was going to make an alloy sheet brake unit cover and paint it black but this idea sounds much better, just hope it fits ok.

For those interested, here are a couple of pics with the cover fitted (no brackets as yet).

Price will be $145 which includes cutting to the cover and shipping to your door.

If interested you should not that there is some cutting of the existing bodywork that is necessary to fit it.

Need a minimum of 5 orders and will require payment up front :)

It would appear I need slightly more than the Break Fluid panel cover.. I thought there was meant to be something covering that corner :(

Spose getting a battery cover would now just look a bit silly too! Ah well.

Has anyone managed to persue this? what's the part no? I would be interested on 1.

I found one supplier on eBay US for around aud$80 delivered so a group buy should lesson the postage making them slightly cheaper again.

How many people would be interested on this group buy? 1 will have to be send to chc nz.

I can get 10 sets sent to me, but I can't ship them to people for that. Feel free to post the link.

IF you guys are interested in a GB, I would need a minimum order of 10 and the cost of each will be $92 shipped to your door.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
