I agree, I have been searching for used gear... But to start off I'll be getting into the bracing side of things first then do springs/shocks or coilovers. I don't want the car any lower as it's a pain to park it as it is and I'm teaching my gf how to drive.

Soon will be winning soon.

So another tiny update.

Got a double din fasica and an NSA04 I bought these a month ago, before I decided to spend money elsewhere :D.

My rear wiper arm arrived aswell.

is that brand new from nissan? if so....does it cost much? as opposed to buying parts second hand from people.

This post interests me.

SHOTGUN!! xD

is that brand new from nissan? if so....does it cost much? as opposed to buying parts second hand from people.

It was $55 from col crawford. I was quoted up to $75 from wreckers, ofcourse that would have most likely included the wiper part aswell. Yes it is brand new.

I always check with the dealer first before I get quotes from wreckers. Also, I was quoted $52 ex for the front seal in the rear diff. Go figure...

I'm not having much luck with keeping this car in shape, interior parts are breaking for me :(

Last night I broke one of the cargo net brackets, I still have to get the crack in the dash fixed -.-

so I was on epcdata last night going crazy looking for the handle to release the storage door cause it came with a big scratch. I also found out that the AXIS S definitely has different suspension on paper because I found the part numbers and they are different to stock part numbers, all I need to do is check out the shocks to find a PN on them.

When I spoke to Alex he pointed something out about my headlights appears they have been darkened by Autech. Which I also noticed in some auction pictures after he mentioned it. I hope I'm never in an accident, I'll cry.

So I'm ganna order my replacement brackets and handles hopefully from Nissan.

I've also purchased a plenum spacer.

Where did you get the double din fascia from? I have seen a few variations and people saying the AC button quality is not as good as what they pulled out. How do you find that one in comparison?

I got it from perry infiniti on ebay, well it has all the oem stickers on it.. If you wanted to I guess you could move the old buttons across. Apparently there are two different double din fascia's nav and non nav, the nav one is a bit longer I think.

I haven't installed it yet, the colour seems to be a bit duller than the one I currently have, doesn't really bother me as long the buttons function as buttons then I'm happy.

Yups, done that. Dog broke one of mine.

What did you get?

I got a BLOX racing spacer for $140 shipped. I've read forums from the states that say they haven't had issues. When installing this do you need to drain the coolant??

Ok, so I've installed my deck and the other bits to get it working. This deck is temporary until I find something I like and the pock I put in was from when I did a din conversion in my pulsar, fit perfect.

The only issue I have was I had no idea that the NSA04 unit didn't route audio from the TV, so I'm either going to make a cable from the 9 pin din to RCA then to 3.5mm stereo (reason for that is for future install of double din head unit with audio and video input) or run RCA's to 3.5mm to aux to the front, still haven't decided.

Also installed telly.

I didn't get a chance to install the BLOX spacer, will hopefully do it in march.

Orite

Thanks to Alex the plenum spacer is in. Great results,I kinda feel bottom and mid-range has slight improvements and induction noise because drift.

So in April hopefully I'll have caster bushes, front and rear swaybars with the front brace and the R34 brakes and rotors installed with the scratched up V35 wheels all installed by Jetwreck (U the best) :D Swaybars and brace will supplied by Daleo (Cheers, U also the best).

Oh also went to a place that had lots and lots of Nismo stickers and Nissan :woot::woot: . Got Nismo?? :cheers: Good times.
Big thanks to Alex for today.

Hells yeah should call your garage the PNM35 Garage of Schooling.

Also worked out my fuel consumption. 13.63L/100KM. Just filled up 48L got 352KM reason why I filled up is because my fuel gauge is way out and said I was at 3/4 of a tank. If I can be bothered I'll have a guise for the float thing that Alex told me about.

Soooo front and rear swaybars are installed, along with the caster bushes. I forgot to get pics :(. But if you can imagine what swaybars would look like on a stag, that's how mine looks :P

Heaps less roll. Doesn't feel like a tonne of weight is transferred anymore when going around a corner, tyres scream when going round round abouts :D.
Thanks heaps Craig. You the best. Did I mention full hard? Coz racecar. Even though the day was full of PNM35 bashing I still had fun :P.

I won a set of Bilstein shocks and they hopefully will come with a rear brace :D. Still thinking if I should try with stock springs or go with Nismo springs.

Craig also found something interesting while under my car. First thing he said "I wonder if I can take it and put it on my car." lol.

Craig thought it would be to do with lights. I mentioned that I've seen my headlights move up and down while stopped in traffic.


I've done research and came up with bugger all, But after a google search it came with 'Control headlight aiming', So I'm going to assume some sort of headlight level correction thingo.

Should have tested it while it was up.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
