anyone with M35 has bought any reinforcement braces (not sway bars)? if yes, do they actually improve handling or at the least work as it's supposed to?

something like this: http://www.oxmotorsports.co.jp/7.html?

Iain has em on his car....pretty sure he was happy with the result....although we did do the BC + Sway bars at the same time!

i have them

and yes they help. well, i assume so.

i did them, swaybars and coilovers all at once.

anyway the chassis creaks less now when i go in and out of my driveway at an angle...........

is that actually chassis flex?

i assumed it was just the movement of the swaybar. and the creak was nil lube in there.

are they actually the same as the whiteline sway bars in dale's group buy? i'd like to get the front and rear strut bars, but are the others sway bars or additional braces?

completely different!

the bracing stops chassis flex and adds rigidity. the sway bars prevent body roll.

get both, failig that, just get the swaybars

of course, its metal!

jack up one corner and open a door

my car creaks when i park on uneven surface and climb into the rear seats from 1 side

i thought it was swaybars that ran out of grease or just worn bushings

speaking about creaks, my car creaks a lot on turns and even when rolling slowly on a slightly uneven surface...is it normal or something that i need to look at?

old and dry bushes is probably all it is. unless your car is doing something weird, i wouldnt worry too much about it.

mines done it since i got it. i thought changing the suspension and swaybars would fix it. but the creaks are coming from elsewhere. maybe ill throw some lithium grease around one day

guys, more questions

1. i saw a DIY 1 day on changing the shifting direction for the manual but can't find it anymore, any links and photos on how to do it?

2. looking to change brakes, i know there are a couple (or more) threads for brake upgrade, but just want to get a quick and straight answer: does R34 GTT brakes (f&r) fit M35 and what do i need other than the caliper and corresponding rotors and pads?

3. anyone know how to raise up the HID headlight beam? i need to raise up the left one as it's not as high as the right onepinch.gif

4. continuing on the headlights, anyone know what bulbs we're using for the HID and also for the other light (the yellow one)? thinking of getting a super yellow light and a higher K HIDwhistling.gif

thanks guys thumbsup.gif

1; http://www.skylinesa...5+shift+reverse

2; Fronts will go straight on; rears as far as I'm aware no one has tried. V35/Z33 brembo rears will.

3; There will be a manual trim adjustment; I would suggest removing the bumper skin and removing the headlight itself; easier than trying to muck around in the engine bay. With a little practice you can remove the bumper skin in less than 10 minutes.

Also check that the adjustment servos are both working; this could be the root cause.

4; 4200k D2R's are factory , so you could step up to a 6000k without going too silly. I believe iamhe77 is using 90/110w halogen globes in the high beam slots with no added relays; with no issues.

i accept my fail lol.

whats wrong with 8000k? lol yeh you cant see very far but meh i dont need to see 1 km ahead of me.

Too blue; light doesn't seem to throw very far and glare reflects back at you off every road sign in the known universe.

That and you look like a stupid teenager with an Excel and some Ebay HID's yo!:yucky:

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
