M35 Info

[stagman]

So I'm back in the Stagea game, have been away far too long. Moved to WA for a job i couldn't knock back. Have had two Series 2 C34's in the past, and have made the jump to the M35. I wanted the comfort as I drive upwards of an hour each day on a very long straight road... The X-trail I bought has as much balls as a newborn. So I needed something with a bit of power.

Here is a photo of the Stag...Currently getting repairs in Japland as some douche damaged in inbetween the auction yard and shipping yard. Luckily they took responsibility and Ben from j-spec is chasing it up for me.

Have a few things planned for the car already. Cloth interior, has the tv, hopefully it has cruise control?

[PN-Mad]

Nope - no cruise control. They have a different Grill - with a radar thingo on it- someone correct me ifd i'm wrong !

BUT - being sneaky - I can see you have a cargo net in there- 1st pic in thru the back window, its mounted up on the roof lining! Good part to have- about $400 from Nissan!

Welcome to M35 ownership!

[stagman]

Yeah I have good feeling it didnt. Couldn't see anything from the interior pics about cruise control. Ah well.

its easy enough to just move it out of the way, youll need to remove the engine fan and shroud to do that.

how the f**k did you get the fan back on after putting the radiator in?

this is a seriously tight fit, i have to say!

[jasevr4]

Don't know if this link will work, but:

Can I remove "21082C" from part "21082".. The nuts that hold on the mount for the radiator fan? Can I remove the entire fan without screwing up any engine timing and stuff?

[zei20l]

the engine timing is ALL electronic.

did you undo the 4 small nuts to get the fan off? if you need to turn it, loosen a belt, or just turn the motor with a socket and breaker bar from the larger wheel at the bottom. make sure the transmission is in neutral.

[zei20l]

ok and after looking at that diagram, yes it all comes apart. just make sure you do it all up properly. the bit the fan is bolted to is a clutch that expands as the water temp goes up thus turning the fan faster.

[jasevr4]

Awesome, thanks mate. Radiator is IN. Fricking marathon effort I tell ya.

I have read it somewhere before, but on the standard radiator, which of the holes for the Transmission "cooler" is in and which is out?

Tried following them back to the transmission but can't see shit.

Guess I could start the car up but it's kind of in bits at the moment..

[zei20l]

i would say its bidirectional as long as the fluid is passing through the radiator its gonna be heated whichever direction it flows.

however, i THINK one of the pipes is slightly larger than the other. but dont quote me on that. that may have been one of my aftermarket hoses

[jasevr4]

My radiator doesn't have the transmission section, so it's going into a B&M transmission cooler. Has the thermostat in it, still can't tell if it matters which side it goes into.

[zei20l]

ahhh i get you now

unless its specified in the instructions, dont worry about it.

[jasevr4]

Awesome, thanks mate.

[PN-Mad]

Quick Question- To those with Transmission coolers, what size are the fittings- 3/8's or 5/16ths?

Looking to get one to cope with Transgo, and the turbo kit- prob just go the Repco PWR unit. 28cm x 15cm

[jasevr4]

Do you guys top up the transmission fluid through the dipstick pipe thing? lol

Or is there a easier/quicker way?

[zei20l]

that seems to be the easiest way. its pretty slow, but its easier than doing it from under the car

[jasevr4]

Awesome. Thanks again mate.

[zei20l]

thank jetwreck who i have seen do it this way about 3 times lol

Hmm is that a stock car with aero front bar?

[slippylotion]

Looks like just a lower lip. There is a bar with the same lip for sale at Japanese Import Spares in SA.

[zei20l]

nup not a lower lip

its a full aero front bar.

the rest of the car is non-aero. but may have been painted black instead of being normal black plastic.
