Hey everyone.

Picked up my M35 last week and have been getting things slowly done. Got the TV converted to English - Thanks Andy, alarm installed, new silver number plates (wank) and now blacked out headlights.

In the process I destroyed my passenger side headlight.... (anyone got a spare I can buy?) but its in the car and doesn't look too bad.

If someone can help me out with a replacement headlight I will post up a step by step tutorial with pictures.

Here is a photo I just took:

Makes the front end look so much tougher. :3some:

Chris.

Yep, looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better. Well done.

You might want to try Yahoo Auctions via Import Monster to find that headlight (although you might luck out on eBay).

Out of curiosity, what parker globe is in there? It looks like a very nice white!

you need to track down where that smashed white M35 went too.....try contacting Angus Smart(aka Andrew)...pretty sure he know where it went to.

Hope this help's as I am keen as to do this.

Gave Chris a quick hand at doing this today, and its a tricky one! end results are awesome!

He has both in, and its looks insane, even if his passenger side is a bit buggered, you cant tell from the outside!

It really makes it look loads tougher.

In regards to light spread, we couldnt see any difference to the naked eye, could you tell driving the car home at night chris?

And how good are the pics! haha cant get a quick iphone shot from a photographer i guess :)

I am not too sure to be honest, it was a blue bulb. The passenger bulb is blown though, so I will replace both.

would like to see a pic of the enitire front when it's done and look forward to read the tut. great stuff :)

I will post a quick shot tomorrow.

I gave Just Jap a call and they seem to be stripping an M35. Not too sure if its the same one.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, does it adversely affect the light spread at all?

Not that I can tell. Drove home tonight and couldn't see any difference.

Cheers.

Chris.

Ahhh...everyone wants their car to look like a S1 C34.... :(

Seriously though: looks great! Try www.halfcuts.com.au - I know they had a M35 or 2 floating around a couple of months ago...

I know I keep plugging these guys, but they're decently priced, and willing to keep bringing in plenty of Stagea goodies as long as they see a demand for it. Sorry if I sound like a constant advertisement, but it's for the greater good!!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
