Dropped the rear a tad more. Happy to find I could move the circlip on the Bilsteins without removing the shocks but simply jacking up the collar. Also pushed the guards out a bit more. I used to think the "baseball bat is your friend" was a joke but I found I could do more with a bit of steel pipe in 15 minutes than an hour of stuffing round with a guard roller!

Finally got the buttons installed on the steering wheel, look great!

Also go the cruise control wired up, but still need to set it up.

Thanks to Leon for all the help so far - hopefully I don't have to call you again mate!

Fitting a runner spacer on Sunday, very happy with the results. Only drama I had during the install what snapping the head of a bolt but no drama as it was just the bolt that holds the trans filler tube to the plenum. :)

brought some basic stuff. got new spark plugs (ill re-gap), nd fuel filter. will install both along with spitfire coil packs on the weekend. which i have had sitting here for a little while.

and also for those that need diagnostic checks i have put a deposit on a diagnostic scan tool today. which covers most imports. M35 Stageas. skylines, Silvias (only ones i checked). doesn't have the C34 but might be able to look up under skylines.

Which scan tool did you order Michael?

Got my cruise control programmed tonight, very easy really. Leon's instructions are amazing, used Dale's ground wire idea and the Marvey Tech speed wire. Pretty happy with myself!

If I set it the car accelerates quite hard when you hit set, from 80 to 90, as an example. Just have to adjust the gain apparently. Will do this tomorrow then wire up the steering wheel buttons.

I do have an airbag fault light now. Looks like I forgot to push the black clip back in the first time, but it was still in when I pulled it apart again. Fingers crossed it will clear itself now that I've pushed it in, like a CEL.

Thanks to Leon for all his help!

new spark plugs, spitfire coilpacks, nd fuel filter installed. left coil cover off to keep coil packs cool. nd also found on of the connectors for coil pack is broken. so need to try nd find a new loom. nd did final fitting nd cutting of eye lids today. peter just needs to sand back nd create mould. nd should be ready to sell

Fitted our new Turbosmart Dual Port BOV (TS-0205-1026) today and took her for a test flight.

Solved the farting BOV issue which was getting progressively worse which was the reason for grabbing it.

Also appears to have reduced a bit of lag and made the M35 more responsive and feels like it has a bit more fire in the belly according to the Bum Dyno!

Even better was the fact it worked (for my needs) straight out of the box.

Running it in full plumb back mode too.

when it vents anything below 5psi do you get a flutter that pulses through out the whole driveline???

cos thats what mine does and i hate it!!!

What's wrong with factory Bov? I see a lot of you guys change to a/market.

Just block up the recirc whole in the factory unit and they hold a lot more boost. I did this to the factory unit on my 180sx and has held 20psi with no problems. I know of guys running more psi with the stocker.

If the original was working properly (as in not farting and causing the whole car to vibrate, like mine, even under moderate boost), there's no reason to replace it and i would have kept the stock one.

I could have purchased a second hand one and potentially ended up with the same problem or probably spent more (i din't even bother to check TBH) on a new one from Ni$$an.

I purchased the Turbosmart from Mick at BoostnImports for $387 delivered, great guy to deal with and amazingly fast delivery.

Hi Paul, forgot to add, there's a few threads dedicated to this subject too;

If you don't have the problem though, i wouldn't bother replacing the BOV.

In my case, fixed the issue instantly & i'm as happy as a pig in mud.

^^ this.

If it wasnt playing up I wouldnt have done it. Might have been cheaper to get another stockie, but who knows if that would have the issue too.

    • 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...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
