Fitted 6 new NGK iridium plugs, oil change and filter, changed the radiator water and bled it, and checked trans fluid which was good.

Feels a little more lively. When I pulled the battery terminal off, i've lost how many K's on the trip, so I can't find out exactly how many k's to a tank! DOH! :unsure:

Abused it by dumping all of Shits Corner's barbed wire, pipe, concrete and fence posts in at taken to the tip.

Much cardboard used to protect the interior and control the wire

I really need a trailer... or a ute

Yesterday I think I broke something?

Anyone know where the fuse box is in the M35? :laugh::whistling:

I can't seem to get the rear separate glass hatch to open when I press the button under the windscreen wiper!

It was working, and then just stopped. I think it might be a fuse, because nothing else could explain it. I removed the rear cover and had a look, and the mechanism is fine, so I think it's electrical?

Any hints on what it could be? Driving me nuts!

Theres a couple, one in the drivers footwell, the descriptions are in japanese (But have been translated http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=309837&view=findpost&p=5108325 ) - one of them refers to the a 'trunk lid opener', unsure if thats the right one. Theres another one behind the battery, pop the big plastic cover off and you can see it, the descriptions are in english on it (If memory serves). Someone else was having issues with it the other day, maybe see if you can search for that post :D

should i install HIDs?

and will they make people flash their lights at me because they think they are too bright?

are you talking about after markets or just new globes? i'm currently using 8000k's although I prefer 10,000k.

as long as you have your lights angled down it shouldn't be a problem!...I drive at night mainly and I never get flashed or pulled over.

after markets

im just not sure exactly how to angle them propperly....

If they dont have self levelers, then set them up the same way you would any other headlights. Find a nice piece of flat ground with a wall at the end, drivve the car up to the wall and mark off the centre of the headlights. Drive the car back 10 metres, turn the lights on so you can see them on the wall (sometimes dusk is the best time to do this) and then adjust your headlight angles to your personal preference. Personally, I aim for 200mm down @ 10m for the right hand side, and 150mm down and 50mm to the left for the left hand light (helps with offside visibility when there are no streetlights)

HTH

you should have built a fence around your car so no one can steal it :)

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. ;)

can I ask, did you take the VQ25DET out and put a hyundai 1.3li engine in there? lol

if people flash there lights at you, you flash them back. they're probably just saying hi lol

I have. It is made of brick and is commonly termed a garage :P

It is definitely possible to get over 700kms before the light comes on whilst cruising at 100-120kph.

It has been done a number of times and with a favourable road/breeze, 800kms when the light comes on is possible (rare though)

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
