Hi All,

By chance does anyone have a spare /surplus M35 starter on hand. I am need of one asap if possible to keep the car on the road to do the school run in the mornings etc. Im located in Sydney. Battery is in good nick and is less than 12 months old and is rated at 660cca and load tests fine. I can hear the solenoid engage but the primary winding does not work.maybe brushes ,maybe shot winding or worn out commutator, not sure as yet.

cheers

Issue has been sorted.thanks. Car is back on the road. I managed to source a secondhand unit for $200. For reference. Hitachi unit, oem part number 23300-AL600 is the starter that fits our VQ25 engines.

That's cheap, I paid $350 for my last one from a wrecker. All VQ25 ones are the same, so you can get one off a DD.

I have a spare if anyone else needs one. Good to see you could get it fixed same day, there must be more and more parts getting around now.

Took the old non working starter apart last night for inspection. The brushes were completely shot. The residue from the worn away brushes was all built up on and around the commutator and surrounding brush holder assembly, which would not of been any good for trying to energise each separate winding on the armature. Anyway i ordered online this morning a new genuine brush assembly [Amayama.com] for $39.00 + ship, I should have it within a week or so. part number 23378-EN20A [old number] and replacement number 23378-0M300 http://www.amayama.c...h/?q=233780M300

The commutator was a little worn, so a quick clean up on the lathe should see it sorted and within working tolerance. I should have this unit overhauled and ready for service [a spare] in a couple of weeks. Thinking about the subject, most of the M35 in OZ are of similar age and would guess that more starter motors will start to fail. time will tell. Can i suggest that buying a replacement brush assembly would be cheap insurance and minimise the time the car is off the road. My starter began to turn slower and slower for a couple of days before it finally failed.

cheers

You could always be the "go to guy" for the next person who needs a reco'ed starter motor; maybe arrange a changeover service, and help the community.

Work in a fair margin to make it worthwhile; everyone wins!

Just a thought.

The Core is the hard part to find. New genuine from Nissan, prices are as follows. http://www.amayama.com/search/?q=233106N160 . I wonder if the core "Armature Assembly" is common in other hitachi starters. Part number is 23310-6N160 I will have a hunt around and see what I can dig up.

      Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
