awesome stuff Craig - glad to hear the black beast is back on the road :)

mad job in getting it there also.

its too damn far, and im not enough mods along to need a tune myself just yet lol

that said, i havent done an oil change in a while, with the nismo ecu still learning, i got 540km from the last tank of about 70L. thats with some spirited driving also. im pretty happy with the economy of this ecu even though i have a boat load more power/torque!

yeah 540kms wtf ;) --- im lucky to get 450 off boost :S

heh ive given up on mine in the sense of mods for the time being you guys are light years ahead even you Zei20l. ill be a year away from getting a tune and an ecu at this rate - its only destined to get a highflowed turbo for the time being and a new starter :)

ill do the runner spacer and new plugs and rocker gaskets when the turbo gets done. as i cant see myself in the limited space ive got doing engine outs often - until i get a bigger garage.

Spotted my tractor getting 520kms from 62 litres of 98

including going up Mt Tambourine with 5 large adults in the car

:)

Also, c34 rear strut brace fabrication begins next week ;)

He drives like a pussy so no surprise... :) lol

LOL, if it wasn't for him quoting 70 litres, I would have thought he was giving us numbers for his wife's Fiat, not the Stagea. And that would be some serious thrashing of the little buzzbox, too (the car, not the wife ;) ).

Getting a 70+ litre fuel tank into the little Fiat would be a feat, the thing is so small!

Man, this thread is way too quiet. Oh and it always makes me hungry, regardless of if the last few posts contained chat about food or not.

We need Sean, Cyrus, Mr ClownShoesTangles and others to start posting again.

i rekon using the boot i could get 70L in there :)

FYI people, did 240km on 1/4 of a tank to Port Stevens ;) all highway but needed some serious throttle to get past some morons. yes, the wife commented on the car sounding like a plane when i give it a boot full!

i guess 500+ km from a tank isnt all that bad. it needs an oil change so i expect that to get a little better afterwards

need to do the manifold spacer at some stage. not to mention the 456428475840596845673486 suspension parts to go on as well. i wish i had time.............

my m35 acheived regularly 650-700 ks out of a tank cruising mainly 110-115 kph over 5000ks sunny coast - melbourne and many places in between including up to mt hotham -bairnsdale-moe.

around the sunny coast 550-600 per tank 50/50 city-country driving. ;)

Fitted L/H tailgate lamp cluster. Interesting, the cluster I had was from a tailgate that did not have the closer fitted. The plug for the cluster is four pin on the closer model, but only three pin on the non closer. I experienced the same problem on the 25G while fitting a closer.

Why Mr Nissan????????

Now all the probs with the AFM are fixed have wound the boost up to 10psi.Will check it out Monday.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
