Has anyone here removed the front and rear bumpers on the M35 models. I'm going to get the front and rear bumpers resprayed and want to make sure I don't break anything.

How about removing the interior rear door card? Need to get the body panel off under the rear lights to paint as well.

Also the side moulding on the doors, are they just taped on so there are no holes in the doors?

Thanks,

Rhys

yeah the side moulds are just double-sided taped onto the car. be VERY careful when you remove them, maybe heat them up gently before removing them, or leave the car in the sun for an hour before you do it

as for the bumpers, im not sure, but id like to know too lol

ive done the front bar

lot's of little clips and 2 bolts from the fenders that hold the bar on the guard..

also the bottom splash guards are held on to the front bar as well

u need to remove around 20-30 bolts and plastic clips to take the bar off

Thanks guys.

Front bumper doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Its the rear one that interests me the most, seems a lot of the clips etc are hidden from the eye not like the front one.

Also forgot to ask about removing the rear boot interior door card, will edit my post.

Cheers :thumbsup:

rear bumper is rairly streight forward, you need to remove the rear inner pannels to get access to some bolts /screws that bolt through the inside of the rear quarter pannels down to the rear bar (these ones are fun, dont drop the bolts as you will have trouble finding them). then there are a couple of screws at the back.

On the rear tailgate there is a plastic panel under the lights and number plate that I wish to remove. Has anyone seen how this comes off? Just asking first before I 'test' how it does :) .

I pulled off the insides of the tailgate today to fit a reverse camera and if my memory serves me right there are bolts on the inside of the tailgate that hold that piece on.

To get to them do it in the following order.

1) remove bolt just behind wiper motor. There is a black square cap covering the bolt.

2) pull the black cover on the tailgate (covering the wiper motor) up. there are 4 clips holding it down that just pull out, straight up.

3) remove all the little brown, and black clips holding on the carpet cover. On all 4 sides. It should just come off now.

Cheers

Andy

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.

      It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...

      Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
