+1 for the IEBC, but without the spelling errors

Feb '93 GT-R, colour code 326 ('Crystal White'), Interior colour 'G', there are pages of data on how to interpret the last few digits of the Model Code, but I got a bit lost! (KBNR32RXFFS7AA) But nothing fancy to report.

Once Car Torque get my S-tune Bilsteins back from Heasmans (rebuild) & I fit them along with the S-Tune springs, my RSFV springs will be available. I plan on getting an ETA update on the rebuilds early next week.

Damn you need a macro mode on your camera +1 on resolving the pin #'s - it will allow us to sort it.

Jetwreck - See the sidebar, it's Okinawa JP. OkiM35, there is plenty of info on the M35 on the forums, but if they're anything like the C34, the 4WD models will have different suspension o the 2WD models. I can't really help too much since I own a C34, but the M35 guys are compiling more information every day.

It's shown in FAST as a 'GTR/V2' which would be a 'V-Spec 2' if there was such a thing for the R34. So I can only assume that translates to an N1?

Good stuff, that's what I like to hear.

lol, that's that I said - 'lose it' (i.e. take it off)

Lose the BOV, or recirculate it.

You can get copper washers with a flexible seal fitted, they might do the trick. Fuel has a very low viscosity and will find leaks where water won't.

Yes, I've seen several 4-link setups that have been done & re-done because the geometry was stuffed up by cowboys. You may find that an H190 live-axle with a watts linkage or panhard might be a simple fitup. It all depends how close your model is to the later '70's models. BTW, what's the model designation? I probably have the full parts data as a pdf.

I picked up my new display unit from the post office today, plugged it in to the RSFV, configured the engine parameters for the trip meter and hey presto, I can now see how much fuel I'm burning And as an aside, it shows all the ECU data just fine

That's a real nice live-axle setup, and would be on my shopping list if I had something like an old 'stang. Somehow I don't think our 1200 ute justifies something like that though!

Seriously, it would probably be less head f**k for the current owner to sell it to an import wrecker. Surely they would pay $5k for an M35 that has a fair number of good panels and a reasonable interior. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that the drivetrain is ok too. What a waste of everyone's time... (but hey it kept us amused for a bit.)

Yes, it's a '94, and yes it's white Paint Codes

The 'usual spec' 5-speed GTS25t

New rear bar fitted, and prices available. See here for details: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4657579

An update on the C34 Stagea rear bars I've had made: The fixed one fits perfectly - slips straight over the link rods, no angularity issues. 22mm fixed - $238 22mm adjustable - $270 Speak to Car Torque Products in Adelaide for availability, I think they have had about 3 of each made by Selbys.

The V in the C34 series had 16" wheels and a couple of other appointments standard (like the auto-lights) there is nothing in the drive train different however.

Is that like when you've got a car that keeps jumping out of gear (automatically) when you're trying to drive it? ATTESA-ETS is the good oil when it comes to AWD systems that aren't limited to 'sports sedans' like the WRX or EVO. It works wonderfully in the GT-R & Stagea alike, and they are cars designed for completely different jobs. As much as I like punting around a spritely RWD, the grip (grin?) factor of the AWD in the Stagea is just great.

kit - yes wheels - yes auto - go ahead & try...

Anyone got a user account on this & care to see what happens? FWIW the compliance is legit; http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RA..._vin=NM35315584

Post your requests here ppl: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/VI...ed-t128496.html Otherwise no-one will see them.

That'll be an M35 250t RS Four(V?). But since there's no M35 buyers guide (someone was working on it weren't they?), here is a reasonable place for the post. But, you might be better off starting a new thread (or reviving on old one) that specifically asks about M35 issues in order to catch the eye of all the M35 owners out there.

Cheers Peter, Carry on outside the GB & ship Monday. And now back to your regular programming...
