Yep, they were originally copied off some imported mats I think but they now curve around all the floor bulges and the drivers one has the hole for the clip.

The rear cargo didn't go up the back of the seat as they couldn't work out how to hold it there. I didn't want the metal clamps I have seen on the JDM mats so I left mine as only the floor.

Edit: I did tell them they could drape it over the top and have the headrest bars go through it, they could possibly do that if you wanted but I would have to go and get my car remeasured for you.

want me to take a photo of my boot mat ??? they have plastic tab's that fold into the back seat, not perfect but pretty good.

passenger side HID died last week, bought aftermarket replacement pair (8000K) for quite cheap, took an hour to fit both plus new LED parkers since i didn't have access to hydraulic jack & had to figure out how many clips/screws i had to take off the plastic guard...

would like 5000K but seller only has 8000K for now

next to do: paint rear spoiler, fit new phillips 80+ bulbs for the fog/high beam & fit new spoiler once painted

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today I discovered the typical M35 cam cover leak. Must have just started as wasn't there last month.

Is it very bad? I discovered a few drips on some bolts when I was changing the turbo & ordered a gasket. But now that I'm driving it again it doesn't look too bad so may put it off for a while.

Any chance you have the part number handy?

Cheers

Sure, 13270AL612 Passenger side cover gasket & 13270AQ800 – Driver side cover gasket.

I only bought the passenger side & it was $28 but can't see why they would be different prices unless 'supply & demand' rules apply. I've heard they can be bought for as low as $25 - i wasn't going to quibble over 3 bucks.

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today

And how is the mid pipe :thumbsup:

No problems clearing that centre body brace by the transmission tunnel? Mine still clonks occasionally, must get underneath the car and loosen, wiggle and tighten some time...

It fit up easily and only had to reshape the heat shield around the tail shaft a little by hand. No knocks or noises. Exhaust note is a little nicer now as I can actually hear a nice little burble but still very quiet when on cruise. Power wise I have noticed a slight increase but not huge, as to be expected. Still need to change the front pipe to a 3" with high flow cat.

I was able to sell the rear muffler from the v35 for $25 so that's dropped the cost of the mid pipe to only $75! So good cheap upgrade.

Oh and the m35 mid pipe is bloody heavy compared to the v35.

Just a quick update on the v35 mid pipe upgrade I did. A bit of good luck for me. I payed $100 for the complete exh comprising of exh manifolds to rear muffler. Fitted the mid pipe to my m35, sold the rear muffler for $25, took both the cat converter sections to recycle yard and got $120 for the pair and then $2 for the rest of the exhaust for scrap metal.

So after all that my mid pipe was free and gained $47 on the deal.

Best bang for buck mod I've done yet!!!

Paul, that story is just so full of win!

OT - got my car ready for dyno tomorrow - packed up parts to install and Lappy, topped off fluids, got into skidz mode and left my drill at teh workshop :glare:

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
