Hi all,

Just bought some new wheels for the V35.

Pics don't really do it justice. It looks the biz.

Big thanks to n15m0 for his advice.

Also thanks to Thuy at J-Imports for looking after a pain in arse customer. That would be me. :)

And last but not least thanks to Chris Rogers for the big fit out a few weeks ago. Awesome work. The car is now IPOD'd, DVD'd, TV'd and Cruised.

I think I've now spent enough money for a while, time to sit back and enjoy the car.

screen - 10" item went in easyish. worst part was clearing the sunroof running gear.

Ipod - neo item I use. charges the Ipod and works. helps if the unit is charged first :)

cruise control - this is the FIRST VQ30DD unit I have done - thanks to CARMEN IMPORTS for the test car to help set this one up. for those wondering - this unit has different software to the 3.5 lt version.

HITV - PURE II digital TV tuner. all the remote eyes for this and the DVD unit are hidden in the AC display. nice and neat. only giveaway to anything in the car is the drop screen.

this system is zoned so you can watch DVD or TV independently of the rear screen.

and of course it has a rather nasty F'off alarm on it :)

Autowatch unit - I'm not saying anymore. it added a much needed remote boot release to this car and the ability to find it. that said no one in Nurioopta knows what it actually is yet.

Very nice setup you have there Geoff! Shame Chris didn't come down a few weeks later - I got my V35 Friday week ago. Ah well, will get the cruise off him and get my guy here to fit it when he chucks in my alarm next week.

We will definitely have to catch up and get some shots of them together - I got a coupe in the end, not a sedan fyi.

Hi Andrew,

New car looks good.

Give me a yell when you want to catch up.

Cheers

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
