Hey Igor, what needs to be looked at?

I service mine myself, but it's a bit easier for me since I have access to a hoist and my dad's a mechanic, can give me a hand with tricky stuff.

I think Mike was getting his looked after by Morpowa.

It's a bit of everything really... Got some knocking in front left part of suspension after getting swaybar in, got high RPM idle after plenum spacer, gearbox is a bit rough, so needs a service... Also to see if anything else in terms of suspension might need attention before BC's go in... And just get an overall professional opinion, sort of. Just to know that it will not fail on me suddenly...

the knock is probably something mis-aligned, or the bushes need greasing up a little more.

the ECU reset procedure needs to be done after the plenum spacer

the trans probably needs new fluid, or a top up!

youll probably need to do the radius rod/castor arm bushes as they are pretty much all flogged out http://www.m35stagea.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=240

I didn't have to do this. I would also be looking at vacuum leaks being the cause of this.

Grab an allen key & remove both the gold locking rings from around the swaybar (takes a few minutes). Check on the top side for marks where it's rubbing. Get a file & remove the corners, & take a little off the top if you want (another 5 - 10 minutes) & replace.

You could just loosen & rotate so the flat is exactly in the right place & you'll be fine for a few kms, but it will come back. Mine was right for a while till I went around a long series of corners & then it sounded like my suspension was going to fall out, lol.

My 100,000km service was done by Boostworx, and included machining brake disks. Seemed pretty good.

Sinergy diagnosed my coilpack problem and fixed it while I was out of the country. No complaints there either.

Tried relearning few times... It goes through Ok, but next time I start the car it goes back to where it was before... I though there might be some way where you can force the correct setting of the ECU with Consult or special equipment and software...

I know the guys at wheelworx have serviced the stagea i bought they seem nice guys, will let ya know how it goes need to go to them soon.. but may change to the one Brad uses its close to me and if we all use the same guy/guys they should get their shet together as far as m35 knowledge is concerned.

Boyz at turbo tune did my FMIC ,nistune fit,apexi elc boost in center con,fuel pump etc and tune and happy as! Know what they are doing for sure!

Sinergy have always do good work .. Sell and work on lots of c34 and m35 etc,

The boss drives m35.. Try them?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
