M35 Info

[impul535w]

The strange thing is that it was working and has just stopped. I would have thought if it were out of gas that you would feel the A/C getting worse and worse, not just stop all of a sudden.

Thoughts?

Depends, if the refrigerant gets below a certain pressure; the compressor will not engage. This is to protect the compressor from damage.

Could even be a relay or fuse issue with the aircon clutch?

going to fill'er up today and will post the results when it's empty. Nothing but city driving

Long overdue result:

This was from a mix of city driving, and highway, mostly 30+ degree hot days, with the aircon going;

Could have probably pushed on a bit further, but have never been keen on actually running out of fuel.

Kinda decent result considering the weather, and comparing to two very thirsty R33s I owned previously

109 pages later, I have finally caught up!

Hey guys, I've recently sold my R34, and am looking at purchasing an M35 Axis Autech from Northshore Prestige in the next few days. From what I've read, most people HIGHLY recommend them, and even my own personal experience thus far has been great with them.

Is there anything I should be looking out for? The car in question is this one.

Thanks in advance for y our help guys, will definitely be more frequent in here once I have purchased!

Just the basic things-

Budget for a turbo to blow. It will. You'll need to rebuild it.

Check for snow car - will be obvious- layer of surface rust on the underside. See if the wheel bearings are making any noise. Check the windows, check the stereo hasn't clapped out.

Once you buy it, get at least a dump and front pipe to ease the restriction on the turbo, and combine that with drilling out the banjo bolt for a bit more flow. That will prolong the life of the stock turbo. Check if it has stock computer, or you might luck out and get a nismo, or worse get a who knows what it is computer.

Ben isn't pushy - he lets his cars do the talking. They IMO are the nicest cars, but doesn't mean they haven't had the haircut before reaching him. Most in the country have.

Lastly, drive a Series 2 car as well, and see how they compare.

Thanks for the quick reply mate.

Yeah, I read to budget in a new turbo. I've also read that the Shift Kit that Jetwreck does on here is also a MUST mod, due to the wet paper bag gearbox.

I've got a highflow cat at home already, so I'm sure I can locate a DP and Exhaust and fit it up. When you say banjo bolt, I'm guessing you're referring to a turbo oil feed/drain of some sort?

I like the fact they throw up a pic of the underside of the car. The exhaust seems to have a bit of rust on it, but nothing major.

Cheers,

Nice looking car.

Jetwreck also has a Fuji exhaust forsale right now. And talk to Scotty about his dump pipe and boost actuator mod. They will make you happy.

Shut up and take my money!

Will definitely be hitting them up once its all finalised.

Thanks for the info buddy!

Yup, turbo banjo oil feed.

It's considered one of the issues why the turbos flog out. It's quite small, and can clog with bad servicing and or a bit of foreign material. A larger hole allows better oiling with no downsides.

Yup shift kit and a external cooler is a very good idea.

Ahh okay, that makes sense. Good little DIY job to do.

I've also read that the throttle control leaves a bit to be desired, and that there are a few kits out there to rectify this? Any in particular you blokes find better then the others?

[PN-Mad]

Forget the electronic throttle "controllers"
most just find the brake wire cut mod is sufficient- There is a wire that tells the ecu that the brake pedal has been applied, and for the next 3-4 secs after its been applied it limits throttle percentage. Cut that, and you get better throttle response but a systematic CEL which can be wiped by applying power to the wire every so often.

Yeah right. So you're basically tricking the ECU into not registering an applied brake pedal, bypassing the factory system. Makes sense.

Is there a way to do it so it isn't constantly throwing the CEL? Other than a switch hooked to power one end, and the brake wire the other?

Cheers,

You can set it up however. Only limit is you imagination.

I'm sure you can set it up to work when you select reverse, or just put a little push button hidden or something. I think the guys get a week out of it before it throws a CEL, so its not a big deal.

Yeah, doesn't seem like it would be a massive issue. I'm guessing it doesn't go into "limp mode" or anything when it does that?

I thought the fuji exhaust belonged to Scotty?

I got exactly the same email from Michael. Is it really worth it to converting the navi into English? I don't really use the screen much only for reversing and front camera.

[Spong]

I received the same email and as I have a S2 M35 I'd be interested in following up on this.

I emailed andy65b at his email link at xanavi.com.au as I believe he's been the face behind the Russion programmers, to see if this was the same conversion but as yet, I haven't heard anything back from him.

Does anyone else know if this is the same conversion, or another one?

I wouldn't be reading too much into the JPNZ guys - those are the guys that have been promising a translated manual forever and have so far failed to deliver. But they want money up front.

If you go to www.xanavi.com.au, you might be able to find someone who can help you with this. there's no one listed as being in NZ but I'm sure one of the guys can help you out with something.

Would a v35 under bonnet brace fit an m35?
