hey everyone

im matt from the northern suburbs of adelaide :D

i have just recently swapped my ford fg for a 2001 NM35 stagea, it was actually "stagea LEI's" from on here.

this is the first nissan and turbo'd car i have owned.

so bear with me for some stuff.

now when i got the car it had a front bodykit which i have removed and replaced with the stock front bar.

it has a drift universal blowoff which i have plumbed back into the system but i havent got it set right cause i dont have a boost gauge yet (its on order).

the car also has BC sports coilovers (which i have to purchase the c-spanners for)

its done 148,xxxkm and looks like i need to do a rocker cover gasket and the CV boots

cheers

the car with bodykit

Welcome Matt.

So, you removed the front bar & replaced with a stock one??? Erm, each to their own, I guess. Some people like the boat look, lol.

The few things on your to do list are pretty common maintenance items. Enjoy your new ride :)

Hi Matt, I'm Ryan from the northern suburbs of Adelaide!

Get onto the for sale section and have a look at the bumper Ironpaw has for sale, factory aero, much nicer.

If you read this in time a few v35/m35 owners are meeting at the Bombay bicycle club. No cruise, just a catch up.

Whats the thing in the passenger footwell?

I missed that, I couldn't get over the centre console double din replacement. Not a fan. IMHO, try and find an OEM unit (or just a better aftermarket one) when you have spare time/cash :O Unless it doesn't offend you, in which case - don't mind me :P

cheers guys.. i was told that its the speaker for the factory sat nav, not sure how true that is tho.

i didnt even know the cd player was a double din origanally lol

and i dont wanna pull the centre console apart again.

did it yesterday just for something to do and there was wires everywhere, was a struggle to put it back together and now the pop up screen dont work. may have knocked a plug out.

the inside was worse before i took these pics, it had that carbon fibre look-a-like tape over most of the woodgrain. made it look very ugly IMHO.

Might have made it look ugly, but probably made it match :P

Now that Dunc has pointed it out to me, I can't get over the hideous mismatch of interior. I'd be going on Yahoo Auctions/Import Monster and seeing what you can find to replace it.

x2 I'd like to know too...Does the RX usually come with the faux woodgrain around the transmission column?

Cos I have an RX but its all beige plastic...the only woodgrain I see is on the door handles...

Not that I'm complaining...I hate the wood look.

Hi ransom, it might pay to have big kev racer have alook over your car... There's still things I'm finding hidden a year after purchase...

Sure the speaker is for an aftermarket sat nav, as the factory should go through the door speakers

Im not sure what model it came on, its not a common feature though.

The centre console should colour match 100% with the rest of your dash - basically something like this

I believe your double din fascia is one of these http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/392305-v35-g35-single-or-double-din-stereo-install-kit-metra-99-7604/

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
