After

Done with rattle cans made up with the colour code AR1

Sneaky Chopped Sticker i see lol 

Upgraded ARX brakes with R34GTT brakes and V35 wheels.  Pads not bedded in yet but it feels way better than the slotted and dimpled rotors and EBC reds that were there before.Also replaced the AFM to resolve the issue with the intake let temp sensor (code P0110).R34GTT brakes on ARX.jpg

What Have I Done To My Stagea Lately?
 

Sold it :(  Now i'm sad..

 

If anyone wants a woodgrain head unit fascia (single zone aircon, 6 stack CD) in good knick then let me know - free to good home (Brisbane collection)

 

Finally got around to "fixing" something that has bothered me since I've had my M35. The beeping when you have your keys in the ignition with the door open. I know it's a safety thing but I often sit in my car with the door open listening to tunes or for when you are working on the car with the door open. I just took out the little disc from the dash cluster buzzer.

Thanking you. Always wanted to rip this thing out.

A few parts to fit on the weekend. Left front balljoint, right rear bearing and rocker gaskets (I'm over that burning oil smell).

Also broke an injector pintle when doing the coolant bypass mod so going to do new o-rings, pintles and intake gaskets which were looking a bit ratty.

where you get those bits for the injectors?

Fitted most of these bits over the weekend. Ball joint, PITA! Rear wheel bearing, PITA! Rocker gaskets, small PITA! Injector pintles and o-rings, OK.

Then it came to the intake manifold gaskets. Plenum gasket, "hang on, that looks a bit different to mine". Check my part number: Stagea, check. VQ35DE.........crap!

That's ok, the original one isn't THAT bad. Better check the intake manifold gaskets. Stagea, check. VQ25DET, check. Off with the intake manifold, "hang on, they look a bit different"...........crap!

So going by the permaseal website, these ARE for VQ25DET: http://www.aagaskets.com.au/EngineDetails.aspx?EngineID=2327

These ones are different again to VQ35DE so was there different port sizes on VQ25DET?

That'll learn me not to buy genuine!

When I do get the right parts I think I'll do the plenum spacer mod at the same time.

On a side note, I found a dude in Russia who turboed his 350GT using VQ25DET parts.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
