Hey Guys

Just a few things that I would like to know if you can enlighten me I will be very grateful.

First of all, on my V35 I have a aftermarket exhaust not a clue what brand and i had to replace the middle muffler in the system the other week as is was scraped and cracked and now it just does not sound nearly as nice (you know that v6 commodore sound that everyone has, you know what im talking about) but I saw a very similar exhaust on a stagea (on the net) that was described as a Nismo exhaust and was wondering if this would be what it was, is there anywhere on the exhaust (rear muffler hopefully seeing as the mid one is not from the system anymore) that i can find out for sure? And if so would the stagea version fit on the skyline as I have searched it and can't find it for a V35 sedan only for the stagea.

Second on my list, The V35 door steps that have the skyline plates in them, where can i get some and for what sort of money as my front two plates have come out (one before i owned the car and one peeled up and i accidentally closed my door on it and bent it :( ),

And third, I would like to replace my shifter knob (auto) as its peeling and such, aftermarket is acceptable, new condition stock one would be fine aswell its a tan colored one, if you want a pic to see what it looks like color wise just ask.

Cheers guys,

Josh

Hey mate, congrats on the purchase of the V

In regards the exhaust I don't know

In regards to the Door sills they have them on eBay for sale but you have to buy all four, use the ones you need and keep the rest for spares

In regards to the gear shifter, in sure some on here or in the stagea section is selling one but ou need one for a series one which are diff to series two.

I have some spare parts. OEM blinker and grey satin grill and some impul tail light covers

Exhaust-

V35 sedan VQ35de cat back = M35 VQ25/VQ35 Stagea cat back.

I'm 99% that they will fit a VQ30dd too, but compare your hanger locations with pics on the net.

Cheap and easy upgrade is V35 couple midpipe. Fits sedans, and stageas, is larger diameter, and has only a small resonator, not a massive mid muffler.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
