Sorry for not updating it. Things have happened, car got clipped by L plater in a commondore leaving a carpark. Broke the headlight, clips holding bumper up and wrinkled and creased front drivers quater panel. Going in tomorrow (4th Feb) to be fixed up to a total of $1400+ including headlight. Lower sill will be painted body white.

Car has also been raised to stock height and rolling on R32GTST stock 16s for insurance purposes. Car will be back in the coming weeks with the diff in (been waiting on shimms from japan) coupe midpipe and a custom tail section theb slammed back to its former glory. Ready for the Matt Smith Memorial Car Show (facebook for more details) on the 17th.

I will be back

Ok so the car is back slammed. Wont best stanced at previously mentioned car show, got alot of hate for it but the can EADC. Diff still isnt in, shimms and diff are ready in waiting. In the meantime i have bought a recaro SR3 30th anniv edition seat and V35 rail and should be going in. Just worried about the airbag sensor module thing under the seat.

Next is the R34 GT-T Sumitomo front brake upgrade and further interior bits from MOMO and nismo

More current pics will be up soon of the car. Diff finally shimmed ready to go but ran into a hurdle. VLSD has 6x1 bolt patter to bolt to the factory shafts but the sedan has the 3 lots of two bolts. Luckily M35 stagea have the same rear subframe section and the 6x1 drive shafts needed and ScottyNM35 has one wrecking and is selling the set to me for $300 posted to Newcastle so hopefully it will be in within the fortnight.

Also got HEKO design weathershields from the USA which fit in the window tracks instead of over the chrome so it looks neater than the brown faded OEM ones. Also a subtle bootlip from Ebay which looks nice, but in all honesty get it unpainted and do it yourself. the colours dont match nice at all.

>M35 Aero bar (without cibies) and V35 sedan nismo kit all in white and on the hunt for on yahoo japan and in Aus.

>19' Enkeis of some sort to replace the RPF1s.

>Whiteline sways (dale im looking at you).

>Nismo Odds'n ends (Speedo, wheel, matts, pedals and blinkers)

>Minor electricals.

>Worksbell Paddles (4AT for life, JKS)

>A goood professional detail and service.

All on the agenda for the next 12-18 months or so. if you have or know of anyone selling these things let me know

Cheers #NoFace

Car is now raised up and my RPF1s have been sold off. Running PIAA super mesh in 17s. Feels good to drive places.

The whole "stance", "hardparker" and "form>function" days are over. Focusing on sensible power, driving enjoyment, fun and functionality.

Big things are happening within the next 3-8 months (maybe longer) to the stagline to further make it different fron its normal sedan/coupe counterparts.

Aim is for 210RWKW.

Yes VQ25DET. Driving from Newcastle all the way down to Melbourne to see scotty. Keeping the 4AT in for the time being because $$$$ but will go 6sp MT as the parts pop up and funds come my way.

Had 50 million engine choices, i drove my mates nuts deciding and changing my mind but found that the VQ25DET will be the logical choice. If all else fails then its VQ35.

Going to be a long and expensive 2013.

Watch this space for more updates.

Happy Mark

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
