Easy to source, nice and cheap: what's not to like?

I have also been in regular contact with another Y34 owner who has successfully sourced (Maxima?) brake pads, and shimmed them to fit our cars: will post part numbers when I get them...

Also, just FYI: not sure if it's a common issue (I haven't experienced it), but he had ongoing, intermittent rough-running issues, which after much diagnosis turned out to be failing ignition coils.

Just a couple of things to bear in mind: once we get enough info, it may be a good idea to create a Y34 parts/service sticky thread, as there's precious little information available on the interwebs...

Yeah i agree - i've found there's really not much info available on there however Aus-Vip.com i have found has a little.. not much.. but a little haha. I have the same intermittent rough-running issues but i had put it down to coilpacks as it seems to be the same sort of issue as what I had years ago in an S13 then replaced the coilpacks and all fixed.

I havn't bothered to buy new coilpacks yet for my Y34 but was planning on getting a set of Yellow Jackets from performance-wise.

Also I had my radiator end tanks replaced which turned out to be the same/very similar to Navara radiator end tanks so they were used :)

And when i needed new brake pads I took the worn out pads to SA Brake & Clutch and they matched them up with some replacements - no modification was needed either.

yeah: the brake pad thing seemed a little odd to me: I figure I'll be able to source a set of Endless or similar quite easily. Will do some research to ascertain whether ours are the same as the USDM M45- I'd say it's a pretty safe bet. Also, have seen a number of Y34s going at auction with what I believe to be CPV35 Brembos fitted, so it may be that we run the same brakes as a non-brembo V35, given Mr. Nissan's tendency to use interchangeable parts.... Once again: more research required.

For anyone looking for more info on part compatibility for Y34's (servicing, etc) see this thread: http://aus-vip.com/topic/2778-y34-gloriacedric-maintenance-info-part-number-listing/

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
