josh how much did they charge you for labour on all the bushing mate? Looking at getting all mine done to. Did you run with OEM ones or superpro or the like? Will feel amazing to drive now mate I bet.

I'll send you a message via Facebook regarding price mate.

But yeah all super pro or whiteline depending on the bushes. It does feel amazing. Just need coilovers now and it will have full handling upgrades.

Taking her in tomorrow for full fluid change, since the car didn't come with service records gonna go ahead and change oil, tranny fluid, diff fluid, and brake fluid

Wondering if anyone might have some insight to a small electrical issue, every so often there seems to be a small power surge causing all the lights to dim. There is a clicking sound when it happens which sounds like a capacitor discharging

Check the simple things first, battery terminals were my undoing last Thursday night in the Stagea when my car would crank over but not start. Was after midnight and the car was in a fairly safe spot, so I got a lift home and tackled it the next day.

Installed a Transgo kit in my M35 today.

Bit of a messy job but found a good tutorial and took my time and got it done.

See how this goes with the paddle shifters.

can you post a link to the tutorial mate?

Here you go.

Not Stagea but same gearbox.

Mine was same at the 5 ball channel casting and also used the white springs where this guy didn't.

Everything else was the same.

Sounds like the ATTESA relay clicking, the pump draws a fair amount of current which can draw the voltage down if the battery is weak. How often is it happening? You might want to look at replacing the pressure accumulator if its happening a lot.

I went and replaced the tiny battery that came with my car with an optima coiled cell AGM battery. No voltage dips now, though the relay still clicks a bit.

Ive been thinking of the shit kit , this however looks a lot more involved than when I shimmed my old Soarer's trans.

Nice to see another red one. :thumbsup:

Thanks :)

Now do first a big service, and then starts to build.
exhaust system, intercooler, suspension and more

and, of course, look for Axis body kit :thumbsup:

- Key light has started flashing on the dash, which a quick search tells me is a dying remote battery. Life = over.

- Just bought a full exhaust from a 370Z with 55,000km on it for a massive outlay of $50. I know most of it won't fit without...massaging...but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than $400+ for just a replacement Y-pipe and I have a tame welder I can employ. Now I just have to get it all down to Hawkes Bay from Auckland and convince my wife that it's really only prudent to replace the rear half of the system too.

- Ended up replacing the tyres with some Michelin Primacy 3STs of the same size (215/55 R17). Man they kick seven shades of Shinola out of the old Dunlop Enasaves. So grip, much tyre, wow.

- About to head out on another 600km road trip, weighed down by the everything, including a 7-foot ladder and interior door inside the cabin. I have a page-long list of items to take and I'm confident I can make it all fit, the car hasn't let me down yet.

So, all maintenance stuff really but a change is as good as a rest.

Flushed the trans over the weekend, ohhh back to smooth shifts.

Installed a trans cooler, managed to pop a pin hole in one of the pipes! :O , brazed and all good.

Flushed attesa pump , and then managed to strip/round the filler plug on the transfer case >_< , whoever done it up last time is an asshat. Gonna hunt a new one down Saturday.

Ordered hub rings for the new wheels , got a slight vibration under load from the rear, hope they sort it out.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
