Hmm...got banned from a Veloster Turbo forum for being a "troll"...apparently if I shatter their dreams and tell them that their tuned 160kw atw cars will not beat a Commo VF SS its "trolling"...ignorance is bliss I guess.

Guy's just a random question - I'm wandering out of interest how much were the stags when originally released(in AU$ Roughly). I've got an S2 1999 WGNC34.

A 25t RS Four V was 3.26M Yen when sold new, so probably around the $40K Aus mark in '99. Chepaer than a VTII Commodore SS.

The only cure for that is to buy another one and do all those things to it that you said you'd do differently if you had your time over again.

/experience

ha!

my S1 C34 was 255kw low boost ;)

did everything I wanted.

Ha, if I did it again I'd grab a 26tt Autech and adapt an auto ;)

Studies finished a few weeks ago, started a casual job but am actually in line to get a great gig as a cardiac & vascular radiographer, ie specialize in Angiography

Been getting by under the radar, only ever a few $ away from living under a bridge, so hopefully a new start on the horizon....

Good for you mate; glad to see the hard graft is paying off for you. :thumbsup:

I didn't know whether to post this here or in 'What Did You Do To Your Stagea Today?' But here goes...

Today I dropped an unwrapped Mars Bar on the floor while I was reaching for a slice of pizza from the box on the passenger's seat, and it went right under the seat.

Luckily, I didn't drop the pizza slice, and was able to transfer it to my right hand. But I couldn't reach far enough under the passenger seat to find the Mars Bar while steering and holding pizza with one hand. I think the Mars Bar probably melted.

It could have been a disaster, but fortunately I keep a spare Mars Bar in that little vertical cubby to the right of the centre console, between the boost controller unit and the lighter socket where the car-jug plugs in.

I only mention this to illustrate how important careful food management is to the safe operation of our performance vehicles.

Last time I was in Scotland I asked at the local chippie (chip-shop) for a slice of pizza and she took a slice off a stack and dropped it into the deep fryer with the chips and the cod.

No wonder Scots have the highest heart attack rates in Europe.

Wis' ye could replace arteries wi' braided lines.

nm35 questions

 

how much is the diameter of the lower end of the front shock absorber? 

how long is the shock absorber with the spring?

the length of the rear shock absorber is? what about the rear spring diameter and length 

Spring rate of stock springs?

Keep looking for a Nismo S-tune kit.

stock suspension is way too soft for a 1600kg wagon, even worse once you fit sway bars

S-tune is 20% stiffer, awesome mod.

If you search it at RHD Japan, all the specs are there, you could easily calculate close approximates for stock rates

I'msure people have asked this before but I don't know if anyone has answeredit yet.

The M35 is available from factory with an LSD, at least in PNM35 form. For original specs go to...

http://history.nissan.co.jp/03_minivan.html

...and g33k out. C34 and M35 are both in there.

    • 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
