Hey guys,

My names Josh and got my 1st 01 m35 yesterday. All is going good but i have this little niggle. It may be nothing but i have had it on full boost then when i let my foot off the accelerator, there is this like crunch sound/ feel under my foot. It doesn't do it all the time just every now and then. Any ideas guys. Just not hoping its much.

Get under the dash and check out the condition of the throttle cable, make sure its not slightly frayed and making that sound. Also WD40 the linkages too and see if that shuts them up :D

That'd be a good start ... eliminate them as being possible problems if anything.

good advice, except M35s dont have a throttle cable

they have a potentiometer attached to the pedal. apparently early V35s had problems where this would wear out.

but like Ruby said, stick your head under there and have a listen to where its coming from

keep an eye on it. if youre backing off the throttle from hard acceleration, it might be a worn or dry bush in the front suspension that is making it happen.

Alex, you like that huh? thats its actual name. its a variable resistor :ermm:

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
