Welcome, looks good.

Finally got the silver wagon back on the road, I had to suffer the shame of taking it to a mechanic to do some minor work as there's nowhere flat around here to jack up a car. I doubled down on the indignity by taking the black one in for oil and brake pads too. Never mind, both are back in A+ shape.

 

I have some (possibly) news for PNM35 owners:

370Z Y-pipes are a bolt-in fit on PNM35s. 370Z cats do not fit due to stud offset.

Info was gleaned from my quietly--spoken mechanic in a noisy workshop so don't sue me if there's a little bit of mucking around with the Y-pipe mounting, but judging by the labour charge on the bill it was straight forward. He was definite about the cats not fitting though.

Sadly no noticeable change to performance or exhaust note other than the tinny rattling from the old Y-pipe being gone. The shields and flexis on the old one were mostly rotted away..

My feeling is that the 370Z and V36 Y-pipes are probably the same, I haven't gone hunting for part numbers.

today I finally got a new coilover installed. the only thing that you get is Bc Racing.

Price is cheap only 770€ 

 

the last adjustment to be made after 500-1000 km

Done a bit to my stagea in the last couple of weeks, got some LED headlights, which are bloody awesome. They were just some from ebay for about $30 or something NZD.

They literally light up EVERYTHING... especially sign posts from 100m way lol.

I also picked up a series 2 exhaust (there is a length difference between the S1 and S2 exhaust) the main reason I got this exhaust was to smash out the cat for more pop pop :P. 
But...

As you can see the cats already been smashed out.. saves me time! I installed the exhaust and it sounds pretty damn good, the S2 exhaust did have a bigger centre muffler too which was nice, interested to see whether there is a difference in sound between the S1 and S2 though. Before I got this exhaust my rear muffler stuck out a little bit which looked ugly, and now it sits further back, but now the hangers are weird so I'll need to get them re-done at some point. 

I also managed to get my hands on a rear lip which im bloody stoked about.

I did run into a issue with the towbar, which I knew I would but I was kinda hoping I could just get away with it (which I kinda did) Installing the passenger side part was easy as and I only screwed it in at the bottom mounts and ends, I didn't bother with drilling the ones to attach it in the middle or whatever lol. 

I used some brute force a couple of days later and got the other half on.. which also cracked it more...

You can kinda tell from those photos that its a little squished where the tow bar is but im fine with that and supports it in there quite well. Extremely happy with it though. I'm not sure whether I'll paint or or leave it as is, it's almost making me consider getting silver side skirts and a silver front lip just to go with the flow lol. 

 

Last thing i've done over the last couple of days is black out my headlights. I'd never done anything like this before so the first headlight was a bit of a struggle to open, but then the second took me about 10 minutes. IMG_1346.thumb.JPG.752aab57ca804f7c107bfbd2fc3857fb.JPGIMG_1347.thumb.JPG.89627bb8667a6677046cf2929de881a8.JPGIMG_1349.thumb.JPG.a73884fa722056b3ee54384bfb410175.JPGIMG_1344.thumb.JPG.1531cec69073811f514c1fc649a6e758.JPGIMG_1352.thumb.JPG.a791cf2a0fb9d5095d59eb327bd8fcaf.JPGIMG_1354.thumb.JPG.9f1c6886f0a0272339e40e66677f6e97.JPGIMG_1357.thumb.JPG.6fed3f4bb86324256be2a81a00a972c2.JPGIMG_1359.thumb.JPG.4d9bfcd8b51e8315d9999a293c2f5617.JPG

Pretty happy with the end results too.. I did buy another set of headlights to do this on as I wouldn't trust myself doing it on my only headlights lol.

I see everyone's blacking out their headlights.
Looks good but I'd prefer a pair of the split headlights on S2 M35's.
Reasonably cheap too, shouldn't be too much in shipping...

Agree, nice to see another M35 going in for a facelift.
Which bumper are you going with?

I have facelift lights waiting for install.

Just have to make little mods and black out :)

Wait, is that even possible? Have i missed out on something?
I'm sick of the dull looking nm35 headlight.
Need lights, bumper, grill, bonnet.
It all bolts in.

I put an Axis S front on my old 250t years ago.

Finally got around to swapping out the suspension, bushes and ball joints. BC BR's are great for the money by the way. Haven't adjusted the height yet, sitting about 20mm too high in the front.... Or too low in the back, haven't decided yet. Want to check if I still scrape on speedbumps with the 3" nismo exhaust on, next project after buying a front pipe and dump.

Also installed a turbosmart kompact BOV and HDI front mount over the weekend and took the shitty paint work off the grill, who paints a chrome panel without putting in some prep work, really? I think it looks mint! Although I had to ditch the Cibbies from the front bar as they fouled on the piping :( Might have to find LED replacements. Gotta admit I do like seeing the piping through the holes though.

Does anyone know the temp trigger for the condenser fan? I've tested that the fan works, but at idle I don't think my car gets hot enough to trigger it (~85C). Is there any way of testing it? I've been sitting in traffic and seen coolant temps of 94C but I can't just pop the bonnet and jump out to check haha.

Managed to score a Fujitsubo Legalis R catback from a wrecker on the cheap and put it on my PM35 this morning.... IT IS LOUD!

I knew it was designed for a turbo engine, but damn it is loud on the NA engine. Will have to add a large resonator me thinks...
At least for now I can hoon around sounding like a monster truck.

Might upload a vid to youtube because there isn't much audio out there of this setup, or any at all.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
