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/

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      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.
