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:

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
