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:

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
