Hi guys, I was doing a mod to my tail lights today. After removing the inside black plastic trim and rear door rubber, to my shock i found 3 main points that could creat bad rust if not treated! First point is the top bracket of the tail lights, mine had surface rust so i removed it from the light assembly and used a wire wheel on a grinder to remove all rust. I then cleaned it up, primed and painted. Second point is behind the rear door striker rubbers. The mounting bracket seems to get a small amount of surface rust on the front side of them, but when i removed them there was even more rust behind them and it is in direct contact with the paint. So same as above i removed the rust via a wire wheel, and painted. I also had to lightly sand the body at the bolt up contact point to remove a very same amount of surface rust starting to form on the paint to repair and touch up. (this could turn into a major rust spot if left untreated as its in direct contact with the body, unlike the light bracket which has a rubber washer.) Third point is at the top sill of the rear door/hatch. It appears the compliancer was a bit lazy when fitting the child restraint points in my car as there was metal shavings everywhere under the rubber at the top of the door. after drilling the holes to attach the restraint points they obviously did not vacuum or blow out the steel shaving and just left to sit there they will rust away and cause your paint to get rust spots or worse. I also decided to remove the restraint points to clean under them and there was more shavings under them...... to clean up this area i highly recommend people to remove the restraints and scrap back the silicon under the bolting tab at the top of the sill. clean it all up and refit the restraints with new silicon. Remember you wont be able to see these rust points unless you remove the door rubber and black plastic pieces on the side of the tail lights. I hope this thread will help our cars last longer! For some reason i cant attach the photos (not to big either)??????? if a mod wants me to email the pics to them so they can attach, no probs. Thanks Justin.

Idle/low Rpm Issue. Low Power M35
walkoau replied to walkoau's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Well thornleigh is a bit closer. I'll pm you. -
Hi guys, Excuse me for not posting in a while, sold my r34 a few year's back. Anyway I have now purchased a m35 axis autech vq25det. And after my wife picked it up from the importer, I took it for a run..... And I'm not happy. On idle it seem like it has a miss and real slow and lacking power at low rpms.... Say after 3500rpm it seems good. I'm taking it to the importers mechanic on Monday so they can fix it under warranty, but just wondering of anyone else has had a problem like this and if anyone has ideas on possible causes. It's a drama to take it to the mechanic (over 1.5 hours away), and im stuffed with out a car if they need it over night or for a couple of days. Btw.... The check engine light has not come on. And its gone through half a tank of 98 octane fuel in only 140kms. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Justin.

are you talking about air flow meter or throttle body? if afm NO you will have to increase the size of your intercooler pipes (or get silicon adaptors to suit the bigger size) if throttle body NO you will have to get an adaptor unles you have an aftermarket plenum chamber, greddy plenum for example. thanks Justin
