I hear a certain m35 owner has got his hands on a sought after nismo cat back exhaust!

I'm sure his neighbors will appreciate the lack of truck noise when he goes test driving now

Hah hah.....Nismo fitted.

Sounds very different to vq25.

Oh....I have mofo 20psi launch again if I want it....so much so that the brakes could not hold it. It also needs a tune before having a run as its running way too rich.

Second biggest win is the front end rebuild. I have finally fixed the vibration under load.

Second biggest win is the front end rebuild. I have finally fixed the vibration under load.

What was the problem? I get a vibration in the GTR sometimes under heavy loads in the front. It also happens more when accelerating down a hill.

Pulled the front cover of the vq25 again to find out where this oil leak came from. Turns out when we done the cam chain replacement we cracked the rear cover a bit. So cleaned everthying up. Got some steel knead it and hopefully its done the job. This time we made sure we followed the service manual. Letting all the silicone go off then top up the oil and fingers crossed its fixed tomorrow.

I'm Pretty sure is was my steering rack.

Decided I'd attack this water leak. When we fixed the oil leak, my cousin removed a thermostat housing bolt think it was a front cover bolt. Not realizing where it was from, everything went back together without it. So I put it back in and no more leak. Will take the car for a good long run tomorrow and try sort out this warm start issue.

I just fitted R33GTST front and rear brakes on my WGC34, I am just running the std master RDA rotors and pads it works and feels great. So much better than the factory cast crap brakes.

I recommend this to all stag owners.

taken the M35 for a drive this morning, no oil or water leaks.

But came home turned it off went to start it and it wouldnt do its warm start again, ran a fault check straight away and got these 2 codes.

P1110 Intake Valve Timing Control, LH Bank
P1136 Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve, RH Bank

​So im guessing that's the VVL front cover on the passengers side?

Any help where the drivers side solenoid valve is?

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
