Hey, been looking for similar problems on the forum but wasn't too sure still.

Basically, my m35 stutters when driving slowly and turning tight, happened the first time when doing a U turn and since, when I am parking/reversing/...

I can take a video of the car doing it if you want to help explaining the problem.

I have an extra unrelated question. There is a small switch just behind the panel where the obd2 connector is, anyone would know what it is?

Thanks!

shudder could be because of the "tight corner phenomenon" and the 4wd system but thats just a guess. The switch sounds like it could be to turn on the attesa pump when u need to bleed the system

Ha! I've pressed that switch multiple times and not too sure in which position I left it :/

The shudder is quite intense once it starts, is there a way to easily turn off the 4WD to validate that ?

All this is just speculation tho, my car has the shudder at full lock too ;). I guess for the switch you could flick it on and off and listen for your pump under the back right hand side of your car while your car is off. if the pump don't turn on then its not the switch lol

No there isn't an easy or safe way. These have a different Awd system to the c34. It is not good for the transfer case. The only way to properly make it rear wheel drive is to pull the front drive shaft

Took the car for a ride and couldn't get it to shudder again so no video yet of it..

For the switch, I tried to follow the cables ( red and black+red) and they go up in the ride side of the steering wheel in the dash.

Maybe it's related to the alarm or something. The car also has this little remote to start it from outside (which doesn't work).

The switch is definitely not stock as it was fitted with screws in two holes in the lower dash just above the pedals. Can't see any light turning on/off when playing with it.

I never got the remote with my car. I just done some research to find out what the switch was for. Mine has a silver sticker above it with Japanese writing. Had it translated and yeah it is remote start

Ha! That's it then, got the same sticker so that's sorted out ! I'll get a video when the car shudders again and put it here, should help with the troubleshooting. Weird that it doesn't happen every time (maybe only when really hot, will have to test)

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
