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/

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
