More work done by Craig this arvo.

The lower front control arms (or are they ball joints???) were replaced due some very worn rubber. Endless clunking on every road,

probably would on glass if I could try some.

Exchanged them for some new ones with purple natholane or urethane rubber. Can't remember the name of the product.

The car has been transformed yet again. Just like a new one, even better. :banana:

Craig has a great setup with the workshop, so as Molly Meldrum used to say....

"Do ya selves a favour and check it out!!!"

Needless to say, this is a very good replacement and the workshop setup is excellent.

I might just get him to do all the work on my car :worship:

Rear rotors turned up today, another set of DBA 4000 Clubspec T3s :banana:

Now have everything for the brake upgrade, just waiting till the shocks turn up. Which I'm still waiting for.

Wish I'd done a bit more research before I ordered. If I'd known then what I know now, I never would have ordered from STT. It's $100 saving, and it's a total joke. Not worth it. :spank:

Just made up a cool air box as the rb26 runs a bit hot and under the bonnett is pretty high temperatures

It is fed through the vent on the nismo front - I made a sealed ducting in glass fibre and enlarged the size of the hole up to the filter area.

Fabricated a barrier out of carbon sheet so that the pipes and filters go through and are sealed with heat reflective gold on the engine side

I have never liked the sealed top so spent a fair amount of time cutting the top to the profile of the bonnett and then used a door seal which slips nicely over the cardon and seals to the bonnett "carpet"

BTW the washer bottle was replaced by a tank that also is an alloy catchtank.

That is now where the battery was which has relocated to inside the rear wing - fits a treat

I'm sure they will come - sucks to hear about everything that has happened but I don't think the guy is a scammer.

Picked up Slippy's r33 gtst brake kit last night. Not sure when they will go on.

Yeah got the tracking number this morning. I don't think the guy is a scammer either, but he is an absolute joke. I can't recommend highly enough that people stay away.

There goes your fuel economy Iain! Is the AFM the same as the PNM35?

Crank it till it starts, put put along at 2200rpm till you make it back to home? :P First time I killed my AFM I'd been on some dusty roads not too long prior to it letting go also incidentally.

the mechanic suggested i put some vaso around the airfilter to stop dust getting around the rubber seal as its not 100% sealed.

when i opened the airbox yesterday, there was dust inside, after the filter.

so when going on dusty roads, do that i rekon!

is this FYI enough for everyone??

the nissan dealers said the part was overnight from sydney, so i decided i was heading there anyway.

you will probably find it was "the exact" part that they were going to ship to Coff's as what you have in your car atm......$350 shipping...LOL!

Has anyone on here done a track day in their M35?

I know Craig has, but I'm doing one in November and I'm trying to work out if I need to fit an oil and trans cooler beforehand. I know it's a good idea to have them anyway, but I need to work out if I have to or not.

Anyone run round a track without these coolers?

Had an alarm fitted to the M35 today by John at Marveytech. Great price and quality work as usual.

If your in Adelaide and need an alarm fitted to your M35, go see him as you won't be dissapointed.

Sittin here watching "Late show with Craig Ferguson" thought I'd share

Bought a couple of Drift seats a while back, recently bought some universal seat rails off RoadsterGarage. Thanks Adam.

I'm in the process of fitting the passenger side, with custom mounts. Slow process cause of my accident but I'm enjoying the whole process of finding what works and what doesnt.

Below is one of the seats.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      By Red Sky II · Posted

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
