ohh all available from the yahoo auctions in japan, just used Import Monster.

i still need a front strut brace to finish it off.

and i think ill go nolathane bushing everywhere

You may want to look at a V35 one then as the M35 strut brace will not fit with the 19mm runner spacer in there mate.

I dunno if the V35 braces will actually fit, but I suppose you have more chance as the top of the engine sits higher in a V than ours do.

problem is is that even if you have a strutt brace to fit above the plenum with the runner space how do you get it to fit between the bonnet and the plenum!

Oh that's right....you need another type of bonnetninja.gif

lol... subtle like a jackhammer as always mate.

or get a PM35 bonnet modified (it has at least another 20mm clearance over the NM35 bonnet)

is there a way of customer fabricating one? ie Whiteline??

I spoke to Whiteline about this, and Wayne basically said because it's a labour intensive component to produce, it would need to sell in fairly large numbers to be worthwhile. So, at this stage, most likely not.

I want to find out whether they do one for the 350z, if they do I want to source the strut tower mounts and do some clearance testing to see if we can manufacture a bar to fit our bay, using their mounts.

Might save some time, and they might be interested.

hey daleo did u but the bcs with the off the shelf spring rate as i was thinking you can ask suppliers to give you diiferent spring rates.

So if i have the cash i would buy tein super flex wagon but ask them for a different spring rate to soften them up , but if the bc were off the shelf standard spring rate ill just go for those and use the rest of the money for

my sway bars , links , mount brackets

Yeah sorry, as Iain said I'm running with the damping 3 clicks in from full soft, there's 30 clicks of adjustment and you can feel a difference with just one click.

I reckon the rates are spot on for a regularly driven car, your roads are much the same as ours anyway, and if you need a bit more, you can always wind in a bit more damping.

The swaybars & links just make a nice package even sweeter.:thumbsup:

Bonnets differ ?????

yes....they are different in a couple of different way's.

But in a dark alley near one of the corner's of middle earth and bellow the surface the is a man of which only two people have ever seen.....this man holds the secret to cooler under bonnet temp's and room for a strutt brace with a plenum spacer!blush.gif

onto other new's....Dale is Whiteline interested in doing springs? I have some special ones on there way!

OX Motor sports have strut/tower bar for a VQ25DET but it appears you need to move some items by the looks of the pics

Bonnets differ ?????

Considerably.

The Series 2 M35's (PM35/PNM35) need a bonnet with more clearance because of the VQ35de they use whereas the VQ25/VQ30 used in the series 1 M35's (M35/NM35) sit a lot lower.

Also, the PM35 grill is narrower and the headlights larger so the "tabs" on the front of the bonnet are in a different spot (I found this out the hard way)

Has he created a mould yet? Started testing?

OX strut brace won't fit if you have a runner spacer... nor will any of the other VQ25det designed strut braces for that matter

I'll be talking to Wayne later this week, and I'm going to hit him up about springs, etc. So I'll let you know. What's so special about your springs, eh?

I spotted some Dolphin springs on YAJ at one point, perhaps he snagged them; dunno if they're specifically 'special' mind you :)

so do the PM35 bonnets have a more aggresive higher look to them

are they not able to sit onto the NM35 as the MN35 is the only turbo late model stag

and whats this is someone making some aftermarket bonnets ??

if so very keen

Edited by Sidius

PM35 will bolt straight onto an NM35 (I have done it), but you will either need to cut and re-weld the abs at the front as they are closer together than the NM35 ones, or buy PM35 headlights, grill and front bar (as I did).

Yes, the PM35 bonnet is higher in between the creases. I think it looks much better from the driver seat (find myself looking at the "step" on the crease quite often for some reason).

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
