As topic says, was kinda surprised when i found this. Do this affect power steering and hicas? -
Hey guys! Finally got my car approx 2 weeks ago and already popping with questions! Got my car back from the shop today (major service) and apparently the car is only going three quarters as fast as it should be! I tried to research the problem but have no flippin' idea what I'm looking for! Apparently when you put the foot down the turbo.. cuts in and out? like it's there, then not there, then there again. I didn't notice this until I put my foot down to understand what the mechanic was on about. He said it may be electrical(went into jargon I couldn't understand lol)? I was hoping for some input/thoughts to give the mechanic the next time I see him as they charge lots by the hour lol Only changes done (related to problem) is the boost restricter being removed. so instead of 7psi, it's 14psi. But I don't see the boost gauge use all 14 pounds. Apparently this isn't the problem, I don't know. Any ideas would be fantastic! Cheers in advance guys!

Hey all, When I purchased my BNR32 I wanted to get a genuine key copy however the original key had the key code scratched off for whatever reason. Since the original key was quite worn down, having the key cut by the local key cutter at the shopping centre was a bad idea as it wouldn't be an exact cut. From my hunting around you have two options depending on when your Nissan is from; 1. Your car is Australian delivered: Speak with Nissan and they can supply you the key code once you verify you are the owner via the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). 2. Your car was imported from Japan: Speak with a good locksmith and they will be able to 'read' the key and essentially reverse engineer the code from the original. Once you have the key code, speak with a lock smith to have your key cut exactly according to the key code. As my car was imported from Japan I had to go down option two and was referred by Nissan to a local locksmith who was able to help me out Cheers,

Cutting fibreglass I recently bought these 2 pieces, both will need cutting/adjustment to fit. What's the cleanest way to cut fibreglass to minimise cracking etc. The larger air guide in particular has a nice finish already, but is quite thin. .

Disclaimer: There's a lot of people recommending to do this mod, but I haven't seen any idiotproof guides on how to do it. I'm not saying this is the best way to do this mod, it's just how i've done it - and hopefully this will help others, even if they don't follow my way 100%. Brief overview: The general consensus is that from Factory, M35 Stageas limit throttle to 30% for up to 3 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. This can prevent good launches/coming out of corners faster. By cutting the signal wire to the ECU, we can maintain full throttle immediately after releasing the brake. It is OK to cut this wire, however you will get a Check Engine Light after some time. By rigging it up to a switch, you are able to disable/enable the mod freely. Behind the glovebox is the ECU. You will need to dissemble the passenger side interior to access this, there's other guides online on how to do this - so I will assume you have your glovebox out and are looking at the ECU. Pull the plastic off guard off the ECU connector, it clicks off the 4 tabs on each corner. Find the VIOLET wire with the BLUE stripe - you can see it in pictures 1 + 4 of this post. I cut this wire, and attached either side to a terminal block. You can pick these up from JayCar very cheaply - I used a terminal block because I don't trust myself to solder wires coming directly off the ECU. I then picked up a small, discrete ON/OFF toggle switch (also from JayCar), which I mounted in my Glovebox - see pictures 2 + 3. Lastly just attach these wires to the remaining spots on the terminal block. Test the switch while everything is apart - This way you can fix any problems before reassembling. Done! Picture 4 of this post explains the above if anyone is unclear. Some people have hooked this up to the reverse switch in the car, so they don't have to touch the switch ever - however I like the idea of a toggle, so I can limit throttle power when a family member/friend drives the car.
