Received my pipes today,

slight mix up when posting so I got a set without a flange but the guy was a champ when i rang him & refunded me the price of itthumbsup.gif

hopefully I'll get a chance to dummy fit them tomorrow thumbsup.gif

nice pipes mate :thumbsup: cut the inside off about 20 mill get some offset going :D

Howdy,

Couple of questions. I've got an Nm35 Stagea

Where's the best place to get an immobilizer/alarm installed? Do most of you buy a kit off ebay and then get a place like Hobart Audio to install it? I recently imported the car and it's come with an alarm (and maybe an immobiliser) but my insurer quoted that I needed an 'Australian Standard immobiliser,' which has me worried if it got knocked off.

Also, where's the cheapest place to get a dump and catback installed? I rang up Moonah Mufflers and Carline and the latter seems the cheaper for an install.

Cheers

best bet is to get onto some1 on here thats down thay way and is a wizz on the welder / tig and get them to do it / make one, the exaust shops will cost you 10x wat there worth :) i dont know any1 down hobart way sorry

I'm sourcing the exhaust and dump in SA and VIC from those that have already custom built them for the m35. Just need someone to install them.

I'll pop into Auto Addiction and see what they can do for me.Cheers

I have no idea how difficult this would be in an m35 but I change the r33's exhaust over about once a month and am a self maintenance newb. I have a track exhaust which gets shoved on and then I have my stock one for normal driving, keeps the neighbours/police/wife happy ;)

Prop her up on some axle stands and have a good look how difficult it is, if it doesn't have a robotic goat under there bleating at you about safe sex you're probably going to enjoy doing it yourself. I'd be keen to help out (goat aside) if you want a hand, and I'm sure I can volunteer another few people off here too :)

I've been told that changing the dump on a m35 is not a fun task at all

I hereby retract my offer of help. Your goat is outside my area of expertise.

Go somewhere like here http://www.yellowpages.com.au/tas/kingston/kingborough-exhausts-12099199-listing.html

soo finaly got all my hids in ! LB is 10000K 35w kit and HB is 6000K 100W kit :) ill have to take a pic at night befor the std HB didnt make any diff oer the LB hids but now all i can say is it rapes signs and cooks ppls eyes thought id add a pic so you can see the diff the left side is with both hid kits if on :) if your a night driveing bandit like me i would get these 100w hids :) best thing iv ever done no more roo hitting because i didnt see them on the road

cut it from where the flange bend goes to the smaller pipe and weld the it back on? or you want it so you can swap at times?

Yeah i was going to do that but thought might be safe to have it so if i need to change them over i can thumbsup.gif

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
