Speaking of which, do you think its worth adding a fine inline filter for the trans cooler?

Could be but it does have 2 large magnets + a large fine filter and 4 small ones......one would think that that would be enough to get rid of most of the crap. In saying that I have had a couple of gearbox's with so much crap on the magnets that they looked like Donut's but all of those gearbox's were driven across the gate most of the time....funny enough my old crapped out gearbox was pretty clean throughout!

One of the main things I do when I do these kits is make sure that all the components a free of all crap and very clean before the VB goes back in!

1. New Radiator due to leak in top tank (nothing special - just Koyo aftermarket OEM style but for $240 delivered and no modifications required it was a good fix to get me back on the road).

2. Oil Change

3. New tyres on the rear today due to camber wear....

Temporarily fixed rattling side skirt brackets, seems grey tape isn't enough though.

Hate the idea of tek screwing my sills.

Slackarse bodykit fitter, not attaching them properly (was on it when I bought it).

The brackets don't line up with the inserts already fitted to my sills.

Sika may have to be employed........

Finally ordered a trans cooler, the same B & M with thermostat that jasevr4 is running. Will get it in with the shift kit, hopefully before the end of the year

I bought the PWR heavy duty V8 trans cooler kit from Repco. Was $130 but during November it's 20% off with an RAA card. I used a work mates card :) so only $103.

Yeah I was going to go that way, but knowing that the B & M would fit with the HDI intercooler was a bit of a comfort.

Worked out the same price, and has a thermostat built in, so all good! :thumbsup:

removed all the un used stereo wirring that ran to the back of the car which was left in there from japan!

also pulled out my fuel pump to check if it has been upgraded from the standard R33 GTR item, Unfortunately it hasn't been.

need to sell it to upgrade to 040 or nismo

i'd get the deatschwerks fuel pump

same size as stock, 300lph and cheaper than an 040

replaced both front swaybar links, and bushes, and tinted my front windows :banana:

As a matter of interest; what was the cost of the front links? Did you replace both pieces? Can you add the part number to the M35 Info thread?thanks.gif

Tinting the front windows makes the car look so much better!thumbsup.gif

Slippy: Tint didn't cost me anything (mates rates), complete windscreens on main north road, 35% as i want to keep it legalish (my privacy glass has tint on it aswell [not legal]). Tell them I I told you to come in and they'll do you a deal.

Daleo: The swaybar links ("rod stabelizer and connecting stabelizer" is what it says on my invoice) were replaced under warranty with no part numbers on the invoice (from japan they took 2 weeks). My mate works in parts for nissan and he got me the part numbers though......

RH= 54618-aq300

LH= 54668-aq300 both ex japan 10-15 days

Don't use the tierod ends I posted up

Taper is too small (I was finally able to compare them back to back with stock ones)

The hunt continues today...

A busy weekend on the M35...a full set of QFM HPX pads went in, as well as an oil change and filter. All the Swaybar fixings were checked and tyres rotated, and last night I cleaned out everything that could rattle, move or slide in preparation for a track day on Thursday at Mallala.

The forecast says maybe 5-10mm of rain...mine will be the only 4WD out there so I'm hoping it's right!

Ryan, did you ever make it out there in yours? Have any other M35s got a lap time I can aim for?

I didn't make it out, I had to work. Not sure if Dunc has a time you can aim for?

Good luck! Let us know how you go and make sure you have lots of pics!

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
