Hello Stagea owners.

Just picked up a 02 M35. Reading as much as possible from here before parting with the $$

I just went for the base model RS-4 Silver. Clean cloth black interior, not a mark on the roof. Dead straight panels. 60K mileage. Suspension is quite, tyres brand new. Stereo is simple. Something to get me to the snows this year. Everything works. Probably will get the Engrish conversion done down the track.

Purchased from dealer.

Love the room in it, and the lack of unwanted attention. Down low it is alot more responsive than I expected. More comfortable than the leather V35 seats.

What is Synchro mode however?

Previously owned a V35 Skyline and a S15.

Shannons Insurance $1180. Over 30. Sydney based.

I looked at an S40 T5 Volvo, but this is much better bang for your buck, and such low genuine kms. Smoother car.

:D

Congratulations on your purchase you,ll get a lot of satisfaction out of the car and also have something a little different to the run of the mill motors.

The syncro button is for locking it in 4wd, perhaps you,ll be able to try it out in the snow, good luck with your Stag.

You should have synchro mode and snow mode (both on the same switch).

Synchro = 50 / 50 power distribution except for when you are idle

Snow = is similiar but it reduces your rev's up to 40km/h or something so you don't bog down.

Do a search, there is a lot of information on these two modes in the forums already.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Snow also cuts your boost..

I was told by the dealer I purchased my RS4 from that syncro mode started the car in 2nd gear to limit wheelspin due to high revs/low gear?

That's "Snow" mode he was (or should have been) talking about.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
