Hey guys. So I’ve recently brought a 2001 m35 with the vq25det.  And slowly a few issues are appearing. 
 

first off. This morning when I went to start it, it just wound over for a lot longer then usual. Then once started it smelt strongly of petrol. Any ideas? Had started and run fin since. 
 

 2nd. 
I have a shudder in the driveline. I have read a bit on here and think it may be the driveshaft uni to the front. My question is, would this cause, 

a shudder when reversing and turning but not when in a straight line, a shudder under heavy acceleration, and a very slight shudder at around 100km/ph which goes away if I touch the gas. I also noticed that the front Torque gauge bounced with the shudder. 
 

im unsure if shudders the right description or more of a rhythmic binding of something. I also have a groan that sounds like wheel bearing but they all appear fine, could this be related? 

sorry for the massive post but have researched about as much as I can already, all help and advise is appreciated massively!

If really cold and left outside over night, I've had mine fail to start on first try. The smell of petrol could be a flood of left over fuel from cranking and failing to kick over.

 

RE: the shudder - Do you have aftermarket wheels?

Was no colder then normal on this morning. i did suspect that was the fuel smell but thought it was worth mentioning.

 

yes aftermarket wheels. Same size all round.

Check the Attessa reservoir level and then bleed the system at he rear pump and behind the gearbox.

Drop the front driveshaft. Its just four bolts and the car will work fine without it (in RWD of course).

Then you can check the universals for play

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
