Dropped the rear a tad more. Happy to find I could move the circlip on the Bilsteins without removing the shocks but simply jacking up the collar. Also pushed the guards out a bit more. I used to think the "baseball bat is your friend" was a joke but I found I could do more with a bit of steel pipe in 15 minutes than an hour of stuffing round with a guard roller!

Fitting a runner spacer on Sunday, very happy with the results. Only drama I had during the install what snapping the head of a bolt but no drama as it was just the bolt that holds the trans filler tube to the plenum. :)

Which scan tool did you order Michael?

Got my cruise control programmed tonight, very easy really. Leon's instructions are amazing, used Dale's ground wire idea and the Marvey Tech speed wire. Pretty happy with myself!

If I set it the car accelerates quite hard when you hit set, from 80 to 90, as an example. Just have to adjust the gain apparently. Will do this tomorrow then wire up the steering wheel buttons.

I do have an airbag fault light now. Looks like I forgot to push the black clip back in the first time, but it was still in when I pulled it apart again. Fingers crossed it will clear itself now that I've pushed it in, like a CEL.

Thanks to Leon for all his help!

Fitted our new Turbosmart Dual Port BOV (TS-0205-1026) today and took her for a test flight.

Solved the farting BOV issue which was getting progressively worse which was the reason for grabbing it.

Also appears to have reduced a bit of lag and made the M35 more responsive and feels like it has a bit more fire in the belly according to the Bum Dyno!

Even better was the fact it worked (for my needs) straight out of the box.

Running it in full plumb back mode too.

when it vents anything below 5psi do you get a flutter that pulses through out the whole driveline???

cos thats what mine does and i hate it!!!

What's wrong with factory Bov? I see a lot of you guys change to a/market.

Just block up the recirc whole in the factory unit and they hold a lot more boost. I did this to the factory unit on my 180sx and has held 20psi with no problems. I know of guys running more psi with the stocker.

If the original was working properly (as in not farting and causing the whole car to vibrate, like mine, even under moderate boost), there's no reason to replace it and i would have kept the stock one.

I could have purchased a second hand one and potentially ended up with the same problem or probably spent more (i din't even bother to check TBH) on a new one from Ni$$an.

I purchased the Turbosmart from Mick at BoostnImports for $387 delivered, great guy to deal with and amazingly fast delivery.

Hi Paul, forgot to add, there's a few threads dedicated to this subject too;

If you don't have the problem though, i wouldn't bother replacing the BOV.

In my case, fixed the issue instantly & i'm as happy as a pig in mud.

^^ this.

If it wasnt playing up I wouldnt have done it. Might have been cheaper to get another stockie, but who knows if that would have the issue too.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
