negative, they replace factory parts UNDER the car

youre thinking of a rear strut brace. something the M35 doesnt appear to have as an aftermarket part.

plenty of underbody bracing available!

No strut towers to bolt a strut brace onto!

Ok guys, looks like there's enough interest to justify a group buy ;) . So I'll be organising this, look out for a group buy thread, it'll have firm prices and hopefully delivery times etc.

Thanks to those who've let me know so quickly :( , and obviously, anyone else who's interested, let me know!

yeah, on this website it says they fit all 4WD models.

Thats a good thing. I think the 2WD ones have different bars and suspension.

At a guess, the 2WD would likely be V35 parts.

Ok guys, a bit of an update.

I have just been on the phone to Todd, from Signature Swaybars, we have a go for a sway bar group buy! :)

I'm hoping to get down & see him late this week, or early next week with some sample bars for him to look at (thanks bbenny) and we should have a solid price and also an idea of his lead times to manufacture. Once that's done, I'll be posting in the Group Buy section of the forum, and linking to our discussion.

Huge thanks to all you guys who've PM'ed me with your interest; you've gotten this off the ground! Now we can all benefit. :thumbsup:

And to anyone else who might be interested, you know what to do.

Cheers, Dale.

Ok, update.

I have a set of sample bars for Todd to work from now (thanks again Ben!) and was intending to get down to drop them off to him today, unfortunately, just had 2 wisdom teeth taken out and it's giving a bit more curry than I was expecting :rofl2:

So I'll be going down to drop them off tomorrow and I'm hoping I'll have the group buy up by Wed/Thurs.

Apologies for the delay, was only supposed to be having one done but you know how these things go.

Ok gents, update.

Todd has the sample bars now :ph34r: , I'm going to give him a couple of days to sort us out with a firm price, then I'm going to put up the group buy.

If you are Sydney based I'm going to try to save a bit on postage & essentially sort out a meet up to distribute the goods. If you wish to have bars freighted, Todd is happy to do this. Please PM me your postcode, and Todd will be able to give me a price for shipping.

Todd has confirmed his lead times for manufacture at 3-4 weeks, and given we appear to have the minimum requirement, I'm planning to run the group buy until mid December, which should see us delivering Bars in the 2nd week of the New Year.

Thanks everyone for your patience, more info as it comes to hand.

Obviously, if anyone else is interested, shoot me a PM, and you too can be a part of the Sway Bar goodness.

Cheers, Dale

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
