Completed my m35 front pocket conversion. Removed the pop up screen, dvd rom and rplaced dash with a non navi unit.

Also recently replaced the vq25det alternator with a vq35 (350z) unit that was a straight swap. Also highflowed with a Hypergear SS1 and installed a front mount after recently deciding not to sell the stagea.

Also picked up a daleo front underbody brace. Still the best handling mod that xan be made to the m35 for under $200.

Blocked off my PCV, then couldn't start the car.

Put everything back to normal, then still couldn't start it for about 20 tries.

Finally got it going, relearns back to normal, running fine.

Scotty told me not to do it..

Trying to find oil entering and burning off.

Sick of blue smoke galore and dirty plugs.

Might try a catch can on the pcv line, or otherwise stem seals are gone.

Did you get a discount on the fmic ?

Bought from a friend, so yes.

A few issues on Tuesday; a problem with my Attessa pump, and ran out of time to remove front shaft.

Also the tuner had limited time on the day, so we decided to reschedule to a day when the tuner had plenty of time to dedicate to the tune.

A new Walbro pump will finally be going in on Friday as well as the shaft removal; the pump issue can wait for now.

This will ensure we achieve the best result, and hopefully we'll have a new player in the VQ25DET tuning game.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
