It has just been suggested to me that there are issues with standard ECU / tune if you decat the front pipe or put a high flow cat in with new front pipe. As there are no more sensors after the one in the dump pipe this seems like bollocks to me and have not read anything about this anywhere on these forums.

So can some one with stock ECU, custom dump and decat or highflow in front pipe just confirm there are no issue with how it runs on a stock ecu.

Thanks :/

It is funny how ofter we hear people being told porkys about the M35.

I had stock turbo, stock ECU and special dump pipe and 3inch exhaust from the dump back with high flow cat.

And the car runs beautifully. It won't make the car any more economical but you will gain some more power and pick up.

Cheers

I'm with Andy.

Dump pipe, high flow cat & aftermarket exhaust. Absolutely no issues, more power,, more torque, no downside.

Someone is talking out their ear.

Thanks - probably the other end of their torso talking. :/

whats a cat?? :(

i know the sensor he was talking about. it existed on early 90s jap imports and it was a temp sensor for the cat. maybe if he actually looked at an M35 he would know. most people just throw imports in the same boat, mostly along with C34s hahah

100% no issues.

I have a high flow, a custom dump pipe, had a Kakimoto 80mm de-cat front pipe and a Legalis cat-back.

No issues whatsoever.

Indeed... whether it is the engine, transmission, DVD "player", suspension or exhaust, there are very, very few sellers and workshops that get their shit right with these cars.

Hmm... maybe someone needs to put a website together where people could easily get the right info on these cars....

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo

      Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
