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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
