I went and got my car from the smash repairer's, the door mirror rust and rear bumper scuff are fixed, and the new spoiler is painted and on.

Pics plz??

How much was the rust component? ta.....

Put the Nismo mats in - I'll get you a photo soon Josh.

Also reconnected the Cruise Control and the F-con. Sadly as soon as I started the car with the F-con connected I had no throttle and a fault code appeared.

Disconnect F-con, throttle came back, fault code disappeared.

More work required sadly...

Did you play with the throttle curve at all Ryan? If so, I would put it back to stock. Mine will fault occasionally, but it is still running fine most of the time as a daily.

The stock ecu is checking the voltage outputs from the pedal and throttle continuously, if it detects even a slight variance it will fault. As the pedal voltage goes through the cruise and the Fcon it wouldn't take much to affect the resistance. You could try cleaning all the plugs, and perhaps disconnecting the cruise and see if the Fcon works again?

Drove very slowly until I could pull over & disconnect my AFM.

I've been wondering for several years when it would fail & what it would feel like.

Not as exciting as you might think. :/

Yeah I have mate. I'll put it back to stock and give it a try.

I've already disconnected the cruise, made no difference so I reconnected. Works fine with the F-con disconnected so it's either map or setup related on the F-con. DAMMIT!

Heh. Not exciting at all. Last time I forgot to reconnect it - my fail. Pretty easy and not incredibly expensive fix thankfully!

You don't need the afm anymore Ryan, you just need to sort out the fcon. :P

I reset all the ecu's in my car yesterday, now I have no airbag light flashing, and the engine light is off. First time I have had a clear dash since I bought it 4 years ago.

It did have an 'app' code, which I assume is Accelerator Pedal Position, I have another sensor on order at Nissan to rule it out. Hopefully that's all it is, otherwise I will have to disconnect the cruise for a while I guess. If it keeps going into limp mode then, I will be going for a new ecu, either a 350z Haltech platinum pro or a Link g4, for the throttle and cam drivers. That should fix it.

How much was the accelerator position sensor Scotty?

finished off the rest of my suspension swap over

the rear gtr springs don't fit stagea shock tops

and the front gtr springs were a lot longer than the stag ones too

so now i have eibach springs with gtr bilsteins

front height is perfect (though the springs are only just captive at full droop (middle circlip height)

rear is sitting a log higher than i want, possibly higher than when i started (lowest circlip position)

any idea how much it would cost to get new groves made for the rear shocks?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
