1. ARX rims are 18 x 7.5 JJ, +40 offset.

2. I don't have any recommendations for tyres yet but the tyre placard says 225/55 R18 97H, although my ARX has 235/50 R18 101V (these came with it when I bought it). Having said this, when I upgrade my wheels I'll be looking at a larger rolling diameter to hopefully correct the speedo and maybe even improve the fuel economy.

3. In the "M35 - Light Changes" thread M35 - Light Changes recently Duncan (Dunc) posted a photo of the indicator bulb. Basically it is a larger version of the parker (T10). I think they are known as T20 and it should be 21 watts as specified in the handbook. I'm fairly certain the rear bulbs are the same as the front.

Cheers

Hi chaps..

Question - Does anyone know if the VQ25DET turbo to dump gasket is the same as the RB26s? Will install a new system soon and need to know.

Cheers all..

Generally the stock one will go the distance. It is good quality and still using the stock one after turbo change 4.5 years of driving.

+1. I think mine looked perfect when it came out but put it back with a smear or hi temp silicon on both sides just to be sure.

High temp silicone will go hard and brittle on the turbo housing Leon, I only use it if the flange wont seal now.

As there is no real pressure after the turbo the gasket isnt critical, it should be fine even if its cracked. Our turbo outlet gasket is VQ specific and was only on the VQ25det's and VQ30det's, you will need to go through Nissan for that one.

The pre turbo gasket where it bolts to the manifold is a standard T3 gasket and should be replaced whenever the turbo is removed with a good multi layered stainless gasket. Pressures in the manifold can be quite high.

Part number for the turbo gasket is 14445-4P200 in case you need it. For reference it was only used on Stagea (VQ25det) and F50 Cima (VQ30det)

This may help.

I hope not! I'd be royally peed if I have to remove the dump again. But I had a look at the packet & it's temp rated for turbos.

In any case, it was only a smear, more to hold it in place than anything else. It all seems OK till now & been on for a while too - see what happens in the next few years.

i have a spare for each end, but im pretty sure you can buy new ones. if you get stuck let me know, id really rather sell both as a pair or with the spare rack i have

how much u sell the pair for?

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
