Fitted 6 new NGK iridium plugs, oil change and filter, changed the radiator water and bled it, and checked trans fluid which was good.

Feels a little more lively. When I pulled the battery terminal off, i've lost how many K's on the trip, so I can't find out exactly how many k's to a tank! DOH! :unsure:

Abused it by dumping all of Shits Corner's barbed wire, pipe, concrete and fence posts in at taken to the tip.

Much cardboard used to protect the interior and control the wire

Yesterday I think I broke something?

Anyone know where the fuse box is in the M35? :laugh::whistling:

I can't seem to get the rear separate glass hatch to open when I press the button under the windscreen wiper!

It was working, and then just stopped. I think it might be a fuse, because nothing else could explain it. I removed the rear cover and had a look, and the mechanism is fine, so I think it's electrical?

Any hints on what it could be? Driving me nuts!

Theres a couple, one in the drivers footwell, the descriptions are in japanese (But have been translated http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=309837&view=findpost&p=5108325 ) - one of them refers to the a 'trunk lid opener', unsure if thats the right one. Theres another one behind the battery, pop the big plastic cover off and you can see it, the descriptions are in english on it (If memory serves). Someone else was having issues with it the other day, maybe see if you can search for that post :D

should i install HIDs?

and will they make people flash their lights at me because they think they are too bright?

are you talking about after markets or just new globes? i'm currently using 8000k's although I prefer 10,000k.

as long as you have your lights angled down it shouldn't be a problem!...I drive at night mainly and I never get flashed or pulled over.

after markets

im just not sure exactly how to angle them propperly....

If they dont have self levelers, then set them up the same way you would any other headlights. Find a nice piece of flat ground with a wall at the end, drivve the car up to the wall and mark off the centre of the headlights. Drive the car back 10 metres, turn the lights on so you can see them on the wall (sometimes dusk is the best time to do this) and then adjust your headlight angles to your personal preference. Personally, I aim for 200mm down @ 10m for the right hand side, and 150mm down and 50mm to the left for the left hand light (helps with offside visibility when there are no streetlights)

HTH

you should have built a fence around your car so no one can steal it :)

my m35 acheived regularly 650-700 ks out of a tank cruising mainly 110-115 kph over 5000ks sunny coast - melbourne and many places in between including up to mt hotham -bairnsdale-moe.

around the sunny coast 550-600 per tank 50/50 city-country driving. ;)

can I ask, did you take the VQ25DET out and put a hyundai 1.3li engine in there? lol

if people flash there lights at you, you flash them back. they're probably just saying hi lol

I have. It is made of brick and is commonly termed a garage :P

It is definitely possible to get over 700kms before the light comes on whilst cruising at 100-120kph.

It has been done a number of times and with a favourable road/breeze, 800kms when the light comes on is possible (rare though)

    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.
