Lost half my passenger weather strip last week on the way to ballarat

so I pulled the rest of it off as well as the drivers side strip

Christ it's a mess of tape and glue under there tho

any advice on the best way to get all the shit off?

Also hopefully getting flywheel Sunday

next week it's on!

5speed

fark yeah!!!

Put my ARC FMIC in tonight, need to make up some brackets for a more secured mounting. At the moment it will be held in position by the reo bar. Tomorrow I will cut the reo bar to fit around the FMIC & finish it up. Pics to follow.

Took the front off my car to get to the headlights & fog lights. I did try to get the foggies out without doing so, but it was impossible to get the drivers side one due to it being wedged against the reservoir for the windshield sprayer (I think). Shouldve taken it off to begin with, was ridiculously easy to get it out!

Hey Duncan, is that the stock m35 intercooler setup?

I was just thinking to myself, good placement Nissan.

If I was going to get an aftermarket unit, I certainly wouldnt get somthing that small! So yep, completely stock as far as the IC is concerned.

cheers.

something like this pic looks like it would suit the m35, even considering it myself.

And keeping back on topic :D, found this little neon floating around in the parts bin so though why not put it in.

Looks a bit like the otomoto intercooler. I'm looking at one of these myself, could be a perfect fit below the bumper reo.

Opposite to above lol...

Changed from my Nismo LMX5's back to the stock, offset-fail 17" RS rims due to excessive brake dust from the 2 month old QFM A1RM pads (What happened? Why so dusty?).

Definite camber wear on the rear tyres but the fronts still have about 95% tread after 60,000kms !!!!!

if you don't get lots of heat into the ar1m's they are dusty and chew up the rotors a bit

the hpx are supposed to be better on the street - better performance than bendix ultimates and very little dust (the dust is a light colour apparently, not black)

so either brake harder or get some hpx's instead

Yeah, I have the HPX pads on my wife's car. Pretty good and no noticeable dust, may have to go with them next time.

The Apexi ECU Harness arrived today, so I will have to get onto the install Sunday, I'm back at work so cbf after work.

Pics of my FMIC install as promised, did it Sat nite/Sun morning.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
