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.

    • Hey Murray, hope all is good. I took your advice and put the filler first then the putty. Seems like a much better result but i noticed there are still pinholes. I even had pin holes when i initially put the putty on the body filler. Do you think it has something to do with my spreader being f*cked? I attached some images. This is the intially body filler i sanded. No putty yet  Applying putty. Final result after using wax and grease remover can see the pin holes. I just noticed as i look at the putty application it looks wavy not sure if it's supposed to be like that or because of the spreader.
    • Hey all just wanting some advice. I’ve just compression tested my RB25det and these are the following results  Cyl 1 - 135psi Cyl 2 - 135psi Cyl 3 - 120psi Cyl 4 - 140psi Cyl 5 - 130psi Cyl 6 - 125psi   do these numbers seem ok.  Thanks in advance 
    • I must say - this is how I picture all R31s!
    • Rust repairs completed, doors back on! pretty much totally back together running now. All future repairs will be fiddly wiring getting everything back up to road condition.  hasn’t  taken that long considering the condition I got the sub. note my helpers keeping the back seat warm 😂
