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!

Finally got the buttons installed on the steering wheel, look great!

Also go the cruise control wired up, but still need to set it up.

Thanks to Leon for all the help so far - hopefully I don't have to call you again mate!

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. :)

brought some basic stuff. got new spark plugs (ill re-gap), nd fuel filter. will install both along with spitfire coil packs on the weekend. which i have had sitting here for a little while.

and also for those that need diagnostic checks i have put a deposit on a diagnostic scan tool today. which covers most imports. M35 Stageas. skylines, Silvias (only ones i checked). doesn't have the C34 but might be able to look up under skylines.

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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
