Ok sweet what's his number Josh and what's parts is he making you out if interest?

+61 414 879 711 currently he is making me a custom idle control unit for my cable throttle setup

So i've had a chance to drive the M35 for a few days since getting it back from tuning.

My main observations it that i'm already driving a lot heavier footed when i want the car to come on boost due to the lagg but i'm really enjoying it. The car sounds amazing as it hits boost with the increased air flow however i really need to do something about the exhaust. 3 inch stainless with front / dump and Apixi N1 cannon is simply way too loud for me. Not sure what i'll do but a bit of forum trolling will hopefully find an answer.

Overall i'm very happy. Big thanks for those that helped along the way.

All that's left once i sort the exhaust is doing something about the front bumper (this stocky one with the parking aid has to go).

I find my varex is too loud for me at times as well even with an xforce resonator so im looking at switching to a HKS silent hi power muffler to try and get the system quieter. It will eliminate the lower pressure in cabin sounds. I also find that the exhaust can have different db notes from bearable to unbearable at times.

Had a minor o-ring issue with the access to the fuel tank and the M35 was leaking fuel after a filled the tank up but all is fixed and it's perfect once again.

I got the muffler replaced today with something a little more appropriate sound-wise. Still 3 inch straight through but more factory looking. Much quieter than the Apexi N1 and the drone is much more tolerable :laugh:

looks good mate! Can I ask where you got those LEDs from?great fit

Just some cob leds off ebay you can get wireless (RF) ones that can chage colour lol. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=cob+led&_from=R40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xcob+led+halos&_nkw=cob+led+halos&_sacat=0

Cool man what diameters did you use

60mm for the park 70mm for the indicator and 165 for the main lights if i was to do it again i would use a yellow/white 2 colour ring for the indicator signal led (has 2 positive wires and one negative) so it it will change colour depending on what cable you put power on, so it would flash yellow with the turn signal. other than that you probs just need a dremel to cut into the the plastic silver surround inside the headlight. headlights come apart just like normal. oven,heat gun or blow torch to warm up the silicone like rubber stuff then pull apart.Also depending on what look you're after you can get different types of leds just make sure its a cob led ring if u want a more solid ring of light!

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
