buy a commo.... single wheel skids is obviously your thing. :nyaanyaa:

Or spend the 1k on a LSD and make Jetwreck jealous!

Dropped exhaust in today to get a few more inches- My measuring sucks. Has anyone with a NM35 found if the V35 coupe midepipe fits...? larger pipe, single resonator and CHEAP!

Built myself a polycarbonate air box to go around pods, I've got air coming in from inner guard, behind head light + i've kept the factory snorkle coming in the top.

Intake air temp has dropped about 7 deg on average.

As soon as you start driving the 4wd light comes on, looks like it works just fine. I dont know if I would trust this method on the dyno unfortunately. If the pressure ever came back on it would be interesting to say the least...

Have you bled yours yet Craig?

In C34's a solid light (should start flashing after you've pushed the brake pedal 5 times) coming on when you start moving is an error.. be careful as if you've unplugged the plug and have a solid 4WD light (at least in C34's) you're in full 50/50.

thats what i thought. tried spinning the wheels up on gravel and didnt kick out with 230kw. i think i may have gotten all foour spinning though.

does the car have to be in ignition, or running when you press the pedal 5 times..?

this doesn't work Aaron...pity too!..........if you want 2WD just unplug the front ABS plug's going to the sensors....easiest way and it work's.ph34r.gif

PS. Your car will still not wheel spin from stop even with 2WD....it may or may not break traction when it comes on boost depending on road surface......It's 2t, auto, 2.5lt, has dumb arse TB restrictions and long diff ratio's!

i figured, i guess the 4WD light on means permanent 4WD, just get the f**ker checked lol

is unplugging the ABS safe? as in i kno it will instead skid to a stop, but driving around like this is safe?

pictures on how to do it.. lol just to see.

lol......once upon a time there was not ABS!thumbsup.gif....ABS was invented for people who don't know how to brake!...I don't think I have used it in an emergency even though I know I have it!.....in fact if you brake on a dirt road you are better off not using ABS as you can stop better without it....if you know how to use a brake that is!nyaanyaa.gif

picture on how to do what....a burnout!....lol!

THIS

I reckon EVERYONE should learn how to drive and have to take the driving test (which should include an "advanced driving" course) in a pre-1985, manual car.

Totally agree....more to the point I think Insurance company's should have a discount scheme for those who choose to do those courses!

I'm alright. I'd take the Datto. :D Stops better repeatedly than most modern cars :whistling:

+11ty to all the braking comments above.

As for 4WD>2WD, car has to be started, it will work if you just turn the key to ON but resets when you start the engine so you have to pump the brake pedal again. If successful the 4WD light should come on and start flashing.

As Jetwreck said above, it's not going to light up standing on it from stationary (hopefully it will when I get my 3L bottom end in :D) but from about 4000rpm with VCT engaged it lights up, 5000rpm without VCT. Sit it on the brake, wheels start turning at about 2500rpm, slowly climbs to 3000rpm where it starts to build some boost, about 3500rpm it's making significant boost and skyrockets to the limiter.. bounce limiter once or twice and click 2nd, release brake, super fun happy strips time!

NOTE: this is from C34 experience, but seeing as how Nissan like to not recreate the wheel so to speak, I'd be interested to see if it is the same for M35 and would be surprised if it's not :)

Going to be adding a bit of oil capacity & trying an interesting budget brake upgrade...

Edited by Daleo

Cool. Interested in the reasoning behind going with the oil pan spacer instead of an oil cooler?

It was cheap & simple.

I can't really justify the expense of a cooler setup with an oil thermostat, and that's the only way I'm prepared to do it; so more oil+deeper sump is a win for me right now.

That and it was a box filler for my brake brackets...

These spacers have the fitting for oil temp right? I wanted to get one too but wasn't 100% it would fit. (plus I really should make my own.) :)

This one doesn't, but I'm only a threaded hole away. The one that did have it was another $30.

I'm about to find out if it'll fit, if not I'm sure a V series owner will take it off my hands.

Probably, as long as you can find a mechanic to fit it for them :P

Waiting with baited breath for the results of the adapters!

So I might be able to make some more money fitting it for them?whistling.gif

Me too Andy, roll on weekend for the mock up!

Lets see how good my measuring is... Only other issue I can think of, is that the rotor radius may not fit fully inside the caliper.

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
