    Made the mounts for the FMIC. They just touch the grill mounting tabs on the front bumper by about 3mm so I'll have to dremel a little bit off but it won't be noticeable. Also did the hot side piping and some of the cold side but forgot to grab a 3" 45 degree bend. I plan on making it 3" to the throttle body eventually as I need to run a 3" to 2.5" 45 degree reducer currently.

    I made this up for someone else but they no longer require it. It's not as pretty as Scotty's or Katsudatadai ones, which is why it's much cheaper. I'm running the same one on my car and it is perfect. It's a 3" bellmouth style dump with 12mm flange and standard 2 bolt 3" flange. If fitting it to the standard dump back section, you would need to slot the holes on that as Nissan have a weird flange. $300 posted Australia wide. Pm or contact Brendon on 0402 seven zero two 102.

    Made up a smaller reo bar so I can fit a FMIC in without having to change condenser fan and also make more room to fit in a trans cooler.

    M35 Nav/Stereo console Pulled this out and replaced with a double din. CD player is jammed but radio,A/C and Nav screen worked fine.

    It ticked over 200k last week so bought a whole bunch of items to give it a freshen up.

    NM35 Stagea rear subframe brace I have two of these available, one is 27mm diameter and one is 30mm diameter. These will reduce some of the flex associated with the poorly welded rear mounts of the subframe. No drilling or hardware required as they bolt straight on top the factory washers. $150 posted Australia wide or $125 for local pickup. Contact Brendon on 0402 seven zero two 102

    Yeah they're the ones

    R34 GTR BOV Don't require this anymore. Works perfectly and holds boost fine, I just used a piece of radiator hose that reduced down to the factory size diameter. $50 posted anywhere in Aus. Pm or message Brendon on 0402 seven zero two 102.

    Replaced the headlight globes last weekend with some LED Nighteye ones off eBay. Fixed the dodgy wiring job obviously done by the compliance shop and also fixed the issue with the passenger side globe constantly dropping out. The H1 globes earth through the clip into the light body but the clip had been bent and contact was poor. The LED globes have earth through the harness, so crimped on some plugs and walla! They just fit in behind the cover luckily and beam spread is awesome. High beams are like having spotlights fitted.

    M35 BOV return hose HI all, I'm chasing this hose as according to Amayama it's "out of production and no longer available". I had this in an order from Nissan Japan so just be aware that if yours is hard, be careful not to split it.

    OEM are like $850. I got my NGK ones from Veales for $600. Spark plugs you can get from Super cheap for $120

    Your coilpacks are buggered. I've had the same issue

    Productive day trying out my my new pipe bender. Made up a rear subframe brace to help reduce some flex because the factory welds back there horrid. I plan on making a few more of these up, so watch this space if you're interested in one

    Brendons M35 build Thought I'd create a mini build thread on my progress with my first foray into Nissan wagon life and also a place to ask questions/path to follow. I bought the car with f**ked coil packs so I picked it up cheap off some Indian guy. Put a new set of coil packs in and all was sweet for the next 6 months . . . https://imageshack.com/i/pnV0vOWcj https://imageshack.com/i/pltD8QHij https://imageshack.com/i/popQVxMsj I noticed an oil leak from the passenger side that was slowly getting worse and traced it back to the oil feed line. Ah well no biggy, just an easy fix or so I thought! Having not worked on a VQ before, it wasn't until later on I discovered you can't get the line off without pulling the whole turbo Since the car wasn't far off 200k and the turbo had begun the Dyson whine song, I frantically searched for a new turbo. Scotty to the rescue with a Billet Intense he had spare that got to me in 4 days. In the mean time while the car was off the road I set about fabbing up a 3" bellmouth dump pipe. Then followed it up with a 3"-2.5" intake pipe. (Still need to weld on BOV return bung) And this weekend just gone I fabbed up a 3" catless exhaust system to finish it all off. I picked up 7psi of boost without touching a thing, so it's stuck on 21psi with standard injectors and pump. I've hit up Christian to see if it's possible to run the car safely at this level on 98 with his flash tune, otherwise I will probably put a hi-flow cat in to drop the boost a little. I've got a few other things in the works but all in due time!

    Same bolts used on Nissan Maxima so 83-93NM/61-69LBFT as per service manual.

    So you have been the guinea pig by the sounds of it Which "non-brand brakes" did you get and what was the quality like? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but when components are manufactured in China for a big company and the patent runs out, I'm sure that the manufacturing company is free to manufacture those designs from then on without approval? EG, all the carbon frames that the likes of Giant and Specialized get manufactured over there all have identical charbon copies. I know that one big hub company that has $200+ hubs is made under the same roof as the $70 Novatec hubs, only the brand name constitutes massive price hike and QC is not as stringent.

    I was looking for something else on Google images and saw them pop up which led me to them. I have bought a fair bit of stuff off Aliexpress like titanium bolts and step drills, and they are well up to the task for the price. Engineered parts though, I'm still a bit skeptical about
