Lost half my passenger weather strip last week on the way to ballarat

so I pulled the rest of it off as well as the drivers side strip

Christ it's a mess of tape and glue under there tho

any advice on the best way to get all the shit off?

Also hopefully getting flywheel Sunday

next week it's on!

5speed

fark yeah!!!

Put my ARC FMIC in tonight, need to make up some brackets for a more secured mounting. At the moment it will be held in position by the reo bar. Tomorrow I will cut the reo bar to fit around the FMIC & finish it up. Pics to follow.

Took the front off my car to get to the headlights & fog lights. I did try to get the foggies out without doing so, but it was impossible to get the drivers side one due to it being wedged against the reservoir for the windshield sprayer (I think). Shouldve taken it off to begin with, was ridiculously easy to get it out!

Hey Duncan, is that the stock m35 intercooler setup?

I was just thinking to myself, good placement Nissan.

If I was going to get an aftermarket unit, I certainly wouldnt get somthing that small! So yep, completely stock as far as the IC is concerned.

cheers.

something like this pic looks like it would suit the m35, even considering it myself.

And keeping back on topic :D, found this little neon floating around in the parts bin so though why not put it in.

Looks a bit like the otomoto intercooler. I'm looking at one of these myself, could be a perfect fit below the bumper reo.

Opposite to above lol...

Changed from my Nismo LMX5's back to the stock, offset-fail 17" RS rims due to excessive brake dust from the 2 month old QFM A1RM pads (What happened? Why so dusty?).

Definite camber wear on the rear tyres but the fronts still have about 95% tread after 60,000kms !!!!!

if you don't get lots of heat into the ar1m's they are dusty and chew up the rotors a bit

the hpx are supposed to be better on the street - better performance than bendix ultimates and very little dust (the dust is a light colour apparently, not black)

so either brake harder or get some hpx's instead

Yeah, I have the HPX pads on my wife's car. Pretty good and no noticeable dust, may have to go with them next time.

The Apexi ECU Harness arrived today, so I will have to get onto the install Sunday, I'm back at work so cbf after work.

Pics of my FMIC install as promised, did it Sat nite/Sun morning.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
