the generally unplug the switch on the stalk. there is a small cutout at the back of the indicator stalk, remove and plug it back in.

if you have an aero model with the driving lights in the front bar, the 'I/II' switch next to the headlight height adjustment toggles between the bumper lights and the ones in the headlight unit.

Thanks for that. The car hasn't been complied yet but I'll check that switch tomorrow. I did find today that the drivers side fog light wasn't plugged in. I also had a problem with none of the lhs indicators working at all. After a few hours checking everything I found that someone in Japan had cut a wire behind the drivers kick panel, I joined it back up and now all indicators are working. Very weird as to why they cut it.

please please PLEASE have the car throughly checked by an INDEPENDANT inspection place. a mechanic, hell anyone that knows anything about those cars.

if possible, dont buy it from there

anyway, 18 as a minimum i would get in wheel size

no there is no 12v output in the boot, unless the dealer (in japan) has fitted one

I'm willing to bet that you have, or had, the mirror covers with the LED indicators.

When I picked mine up from having the alarm replaced, the indicators weren't working on the LHS except the LED ones, which flashed quickly. Found the problem was a wire behind the drivers kick panel had been cut by the scotch lock they used to connect the LEDs in the mirrors to the indicator lines.

Soldered up, all good! :thumbsup:

had a mate who is a mechanic go over it with a fine tooth comb he has worked with quite a few m35's in the past another mate of mine works at a body shop and can pick resprays really well, this one came through very well amazingly. very straight and mechanically no issues, was f.o.b when i spotted it while searching around the area. (arrived 30th june) still had quarantine stickers on her

what width wheel is recommended? looking at 9-10 inches

Ideal sizes are 9+30 or 9.5+35 And I think it was 8.5+22 in the diameter your happy with. I found that the 9.5+30 only leaves about 3mm between rim and suspension link arm. I chose 9+30 as it sits the same in relation to the guard lip but has more room inside to the suspension arms.

if you wanted something abit "drift Spec"

you could probably go 9+25? should stick out about 5 mm, with some stretched tires and rolled guards. would look awesome! ive got 8+22 and i have about half an inch- 1 inch clearance to the guard which means i could space em out abit.

9+25 would look gooooood

oh really? im wrong then. mine are 8.5+22 and sit in abit.

You have the plastic over fenders so wouldn't they increase the amount of offset you could run as you have an extra bit of space to fill out :)

you'd think so lol, but the plastic covers are just clipped into the stock fenders you have. so i cant run anymore offset than you.

although when i rolled my guards i did hack up the covers. and it came up great/

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
