Yep, they were originally copied off some imported mats I think but they now curve around all the floor bulges and the drivers one has the hole for the clip.

The rear cargo didn't go up the back of the seat as they couldn't work out how to hold it there. I didn't want the metal clamps I have seen on the JDM mats so I left mine as only the floor.

Edit: I did tell them they could drape it over the top and have the headrest bars go through it, they could possibly do that if you wanted but I would have to go and get my car remeasured for you.

want me to take a photo of my boot mat ??? they have plastic tab's that fold into the back seat, not perfect but pretty good.

passenger side HID died last week, bought aftermarket replacement pair (8000K) for quite cheap, took an hour to fit both plus new LED parkers since i didn't have access to hydraulic jack & had to figure out how many clips/screws i had to take off the plastic guard...

would like 5000K but seller only has 8000K for now

next to do: paint rear spoiler, fit new phillips 80+ bulbs for the fog/high beam & fit new spoiler once painted

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today I discovered the typical M35 cam cover leak. Must have just started as wasn't there last month.

Is it very bad? I discovered a few drips on some bolts when I was changing the turbo & ordered a gasket. But now that I'm driving it again it doesn't look too bad so may put it off for a while.

Any chance you have the part number handy?

Cheers

Sure, 13270AL612 Passenger side cover gasket & 13270AQ800 – Driver side cover gasket.

I only bought the passenger side & it was $28 but can't see why they would be different prices unless 'supply & demand' rules apply. I've heard they can be bought for as low as $25 - i wasn't going to quibble over 3 bucks.

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today

And how is the mid pipe :thumbsup:

No problems clearing that centre body brace by the transmission tunnel? Mine still clonks occasionally, must get underneath the car and loosen, wiggle and tighten some time...

It fit up easily and only had to reshape the heat shield around the tail shaft a little by hand. No knocks or noises. Exhaust note is a little nicer now as I can actually hear a nice little burble but still very quiet when on cruise. Power wise I have noticed a slight increase but not huge, as to be expected. Still need to change the front pipe to a 3" with high flow cat.

I was able to sell the rear muffler from the v35 for $25 so that's dropped the cost of the mid pipe to only $75! So good cheap upgrade.

Oh and the m35 mid pipe is bloody heavy compared to the v35.

Just a quick update on the v35 mid pipe upgrade I did. A bit of good luck for me. I payed $100 for the complete exh comprising of exh manifolds to rear muffler. Fitted the mid pipe to my m35, sold the rear muffler for $25, took both the cat converter sections to recycle yard and got $120 for the pair and then $2 for the rest of the exhaust for scrap metal.

So after all that my mid pipe was free and gained $47 on the deal.

Best bang for buck mod I've done yet!!!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
