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?

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
