Hi guys in NZ, just thought I'll start a thread that's similar to the one the Aussies have! ;) Will be good if we can know a few ppl through this more!

I'll do the first one!

Spotted one awesome looking white v35 coupe on Stanley Street heading towards to Motorway in Auckland yesterday around 2.30pm. Then saw another one in black parked in the underground carpark near Pak n Save in Sylvia Park.

Like i said, both car looks fabulous! Is the owners anywhere in the forum?

Oh, I have also spotted quite a few sedans around Botany / Howick areas. Mostly 250GT and 300GTs. Any owners from that area here as it's really very near where I am!

Parked next to a lovely 350GT coupe today in Takapuna, silver with big feet & an aftermarket twin exhaust. And on the other side of the road about 3 cars down was a 250GT sedan again in silver. My M35 was between them..looked good!

I've got two M35 250RS that live close to me, see them parked all the time and an early RS4 that lives on my road...dime a dozen over here :) .

Spotted another v35 coupe in Silver in Manukau Heights while heading to work the other day! I was heading towards Manukau town centre while the v35 coupe was heading the opposite direction towards Chapel Road. Car looks awesome n clean! Is the owner of this great car in the forum?

Father in law to be's best mate rocked up at his place in a nice jet black V35 coupe while I was there in the Stag the other day. Nice cars, his expression was priceless when he saw under the bonnet of the stag and the interior, he was adamant that the stag's were just a stretch Maxima, he never thought that it could be a stretch skyline!

Saw a stag last Thursday at around 8.50am on the intersection of chapel road n the road turning into the Chinese temple in flat bush. Nice station wagon in silver. Does this nice car belong to anyone here? I must say I hardly see a stag in botany area n this is the 1st one. Anyway just got back fr Sydney n was kinda disappointed that I didn't manage to spot a single v35 while I was there! Tat being said I did spent most of the 2 days in a conference n was mainly in chadswood area only.

Spotted a cool looking v35 sedan in dark blue on Chapel Rd near the cinema yesterday at around 6.45pm. Super shinny n nice! I initially thought it was a coupe from far (as it was quite dark and I made a guess based on the lights). :D

Saw a great looking v35 coupe at about 6.20pm today on Ti Rakau Drive heading towards Botany. It's quite dark so can't see the colour but saw the car with a rear spoiler which looks great!

Is the owner here?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
