Saw mine today!!! First time ever when was installing the front chassis brace!!! Thanks Dale...

Like the VQ40DE motor...

Bet the fuse he is on about is the one for the screen... Basically all of the aftermarket ones are DVD players as well and so have been hacked so that the movies play when car is in motion. This would need to be disabled for compliance. Hopefully they have just unplugged something.. Just google the model number of the Sat Nav, and you should find some technical docs. They will be in Japanese but you should get the gist... My aftermarket Panasonic still works perfectly with region free NTSC discs and also has a iPod controller plugged into the AUX inputs. Good luck!!

Or Jessie James, formaly Mr Sandra Bullock, and gun welder of Monster Garage... Likes playing with his TIG so much, I basically think that he made the exhaust system on every vehicle they built... Good TIG is artwork...

Still stock turbo... But money has been put away for the enivitable... At which point I'll be in contact..

So Scotty, mine should be okay? Been on there, what nearly 3 years now ... Or is my nice tight stock dump and cat keeping it all under control?

Yes and don't ask the VW warranty guys about the Twincharger engines either... Good reason Nissan stopped playing with those back with the K10 Micra in 1988... And I know plenty of people in the UK who have had new turbos and other engine parts replaced with the VW group diesels as well...

Was warned about this by Vic Roads when I made the inspection appointment with them. When I got my Roadworthy done I asked the Repco mechanics if they could stamp the number into the body, when they did the roady and they did it for free... They had the stamps and apparently took them about 2 minutes... Stupid state based registration rules...

Red C34 at Frankston Clay Target Club on a wet Saturday afternoon..

Works for Lotus on the Elise chassis...

And how is the mid pipe No problems clearing that centre body brace by the transmission tunnel? Mine still clonks occasionally, must get underneath the car and loosen, wiggle and tighten some time...

Sounds like a job for an AR-X

Sounds right to me...

350z non brembo brakes... Think that the X-trail rear AWD is the same... Discs definitly are...

Good to see you Chris!!! Was like driving into a mirror!! Interesting to see your M35 and Nissmo badging rather than the normal Stagea and AR-X ones.. Was picking up my sister and her kids.

oooooooohhh.... So would work with Garmin Bluetooth OBD2 dongle... Worth remembering for the future...

But how did an RS centre console get into an AR-X.... And would that explain why the gauges do not work, i.e. no senders... And nothing wrong with the AR-X ride height.... It's lower than a Proton Persona and a Subaru Liberty GT Wagon...... and a WRX!!!!

Looks like an AR-X with an RS centre console... And gear shift, I'm with Commsman as are BMW, Merc...

Just did a google on this, and saw that it needed a Nissan Consult cable for our cars... Now is that to connect our nearly OBD II conection straight into the CAMP2, or does it convert it to an OBD II format that the CAMP 2 normal connector can read? Now, just say it did convert it to ODB II, does that mean it would work with the Garmin Bluetooth dongle thing.... Got to ask...

I thought an imobiliser had to be done as part of compliance as well... I know it was on my car same with the freqency expander. With the compliance workshops, there is also the double edgded sword... If they do it properly, they replace all the fluids, change the brakes, rip out your Xenons, cut up your exhaust to fix a new cat, fit the cheapest tyres they can find etc... With my R33 it was less of an issue.. no Xenons, cat is a bolt in, nice cheap tyres on 16" rims.. With my M35, was really glad they were half hearted in some areas but official in others... Xenons were stil there, as was the stock front pipe and cats, not like Cam's Frankenexhaust.. They had changed the cabin filter, engine oil and brake pads, but not the air filter or the quality Japanese 18" tyres. Seat belt tethers were really well installed, which is important given the two child seats in the car.. I bought both my cars from the places that actually did the compliance. That did give me a bit of faith as well as access to parts when I needed them, during the first 3 month warrantys, new speedo for the R33, tie rod end on the M35, with no questions or hassle. The reallity is, that once you get that car parked out the front of the house... You don't care any more... It's there and it's yours...

Let me help you explain that one.... Top one is stock M35 mid pipe, bottom one is stock V35 coupe...

Couple of pics of the two mid pipes next to each other, for those interested. And a sound clip... VN_20120222_00001.mp3

oh.... when my car was new, it failed the Vic roadworth on the drivers side tie rod... Ben at Northshore sorted out the parts, but they were the 350Z part, plus a conversion kit for M35.. Extra packet in the package.

Nope!! Coupe one is perfect fit!!

Well the new RDA slotted discs and HPX pads went on with the new oil etc. on Friday as planned and feel great!! No shudders... Had a meeting at Suzuki this morning, way out west, and on the way back drove past Niss4x4.... I wonder.... might they have a V35 coupe... And they did, and it had a stock exhaust!! $110 later it was off the V35 and in my boot. 6 nuts removed and less than an hour later with 5 of them refitted (removed the spare exhaust hanger), it is now happily under my car... Had to give the propshaft shield a gentle tap with the medium blunt object, but all good.... Loving the burrrrrrrrrrrrrrple on idle, no drone, and still very quiet on cruise.. Very happy man..
