So, This is currently on (my guess is) deck 9 of the Morning Miracle, on it's way to Port Melbourne... for me!

post-51760-0-98563100-1373715065_thumb.jpg

I'm not a workshop guy, so I need help here.

A few things....

1: I need a workshop in Melbourne that won't charge me the earth to maintain it, but will do a great job, especially the first checkup.. it's just a daily.

2: it has lowered springs... do they seem too low to you? will that hurt it over time?

3: THOSE WHEELS!!!!
Anyone in the market for some REAL Venerdi 19" Chrome 5's .. :P (currently fitted with 245/40x19's

I am looking into replacement wheels, not sure about fit etc though. 19x9.5 ... just want them to fit.. not really into the whole "stance" thing...

4: The Works Bell paddle mod.. it seems easy enough.. is it reliable etc? this is the first car I have ever risked going auto for!

5: maybe that's enough for now!

That's a sweet ride you've got there! I'd be careful going up steep driveways as it looks as low as mine.As for workshops.......f**k that,i wouldn't let any of those monkeys even peer through my windows let alone look under the bonnet.Get onto Scotty he is the man when it comes to these things and is always willing to help a brother out.Good luck on the wheels!

As mentioned by Gleeson, get in contact with "Scotty M35". Mechanics in Vic don't even know what these cars are, they're not technologically advanced or should we say bout 10 years behind the rest of the world.

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
