Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

OK back on track.

Apparently my Power steering rack is weeping oil from the pinion seal.

I found this on some site:

Yes, you can replace just the "boots" on the end of a rack-and-pinion steering provided that the mechanism is not damaged. Unfortunately, the boot is just a dust cover and if the inner mechanism has started leaking there really isn't much that can be done without completely disassembling the mechanism. The fluid in a rack assembly is under pressure from the power steering pump and once it starts leaking the rack is pretty much "done".

Is this true?

Iain do u still have the steering rack from the wreck? does it really matter? I can see the fluids are a little low but I can just top it up I suppose..

That forum is good, but there's information on here that isn't on there and vice versa. it's just another forum to visit...

Not to keep it too on topic with M35 info; but you've just reminded me that we noticed this on my car a couple of months ago - and it was no worse many weeks after that iniital spotting (when we did my sway bars). A very slow weep. Fluid levels are still fine also. Would be interested to know the verdict on how much a new rack might fetch. Theres been a few M35s wrecked in the country, and several brought in for parting out - and yet we're still not seeing an abundance of parts avaliable >_<

Does anyone on here have the 3 nismo gauges that are in the center console in white???

Mike.

Dunc does if you want to check them out on a local car.

Like Josh said, they're pretty easy to get on IM. Always a set there.

Brad even fixed my boost sensor so it always works now too :worship:

'Always works'? He told me you have to solder it up every couple of months...

:yucky: Well, I'll let you know if it fails again - but for the time being, its working consistently :P

Cheers guys, i already have a set but as i have a Nismo dash i would love a set of white gauges to match :D

You could always get Jesse to get a price off Nissan Japan/Nismo?

Part number is 24845-RNM50-W and I think they used to be around 23,000yen

Here's a handy little Nismo parts page :)

OR even better, just for to http://hirano-tire.com, click on "Search by logo"... and kiss your afternoon goodbye :banana:

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
