Hi guys n girls

My girlfriend has a m35 coming up to it's 100,000 km service,

What does it consist of and also who in Adelaide would it be good to take too??

Second question is,

When putting the car in reverse the car seems to shutter , it get worse when u turn while reversing , and also happens when in drive and slow speed but will go away once on load( 50kmh +)

Feels like the shuttering comes from

The rear but not 100%

Has anyone heard of this or had it, or know what it could be?

Thanks in advance :)

100K service is nothing major on the VQ25DET motor as it has a timing chain that does not need replacing.

Depending what has been done since you owned it the things you could look at are.

Oil & Filter change

Radiator fluid

Gearbox fluid (but not essential)

Diff fluids (but not essential)

Check brake pads & fluid

Grease hinges

The shudder in reverse is common as you have to remember you have a 4WD system and they don't like being put on full lock in reverse. This can be made worse by having the "Syncro" button depressed.

Maybe the gearbox fluid change would be good to do.

Cheers

Awesome thanks guys,

Yeah there's a fwd light on the dash altho, it has never come on , but when we first looked at the car and test drive it, it was on, hmmm

What does the light mean???

If the AWD light is light on the dash it means the ATTESSA AWD system is faulty.

I get that intermittently...but I wonder if its because my ECU was falling out >_<

Will check that tomorrow and go from there , really hope there's nothing wrong with it as I know they are very costly

Not necessarily... could be anything from needing to be bled to the relay being faulty.

Why not bleed the system and go from there?

Yeah that's my plan, see if this lights on there, if not see if there's a globe and findthe last owner for a chat , then bleed it ,

Is this the correct way of bleeding it ?

More or less, the white plug that you need to unplug is located on the ODB2 cable under the drivers side dash, you should see a small hatch with the plug attached, pull the cable through and you will see a plug, just unplug it and turn the car on to reds and you will hear the pump start to turn. Make sure you open the bleed nipple on the back of the transfer case a fair bit to get the fluid moving. IT WILL MAKE A MESS so be prepared as it will go through a fair bit. Having 3 people there will help the job along, one person at the nipple, one at the rear topping up fluid and the other turning the car on and off. I use Matic D in the atessa.

Also the nipple at the motor end seems more like a drain nipple as it is gravity only and does not require the pump to operate in order for fluid to come out.

Mike.

the nipple at the transfer case is under pressure when the pump is running. even when the pump is stopped.

hydraulic systems push bubbles to the furthest point (generally), so the bleed nipple at the motor end is the one you probably need to bleed

Ok just had a little look at the car,

The 4wd / awd light does not come on when ignition is switched on, Does anyones????

I found were to fill up with fluid and it is above the Max line :)

I then checked the plug under the dash and check to see if It was connected , can hear the pump working :)

Will attempt bleeding the system on weekend and see if that makes any difference ,

Pretty sure mine lights up when the ignition is in the on position.

Ours doesn't line up when the sync switch is on snow or sync,

Are we talking about the little pic off the 4 wheels or the word "4wd"?

Yes, although I may be mistaken with what I said before. :blush:

Will test it out tonight after work.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
