After

Done with rattle cans made up with the colour code AR1

Sneaky Chopped Sticker i see lol 

Upgraded ARX brakes with R34GTT brakes and V35 wheels.  Pads not bedded in yet but it feels way better than the slotted and dimpled rotors and EBC reds that were there before.Also replaced the AFM to resolve the issue with the intake let temp sensor (code P0110).R34GTT brakes on ARX.jpg

What Have I Done To My Stagea Lately?
 

Sold it :(  Now i'm sad..

 

If anyone wants a woodgrain head unit fascia (single zone aircon, 6 stack CD) in good knick then let me know - free to good home (Brisbane collection)

 

Finally got around to "fixing" something that has bothered me since I've had my M35. The beeping when you have your keys in the ignition with the door open. I know it's a safety thing but I often sit in my car with the door open listening to tunes or for when you are working on the car with the door open. I just took out the little disc from the dash cluster buzzer.

Thanking you. Always wanted to rip this thing out.

A few parts to fit on the weekend. Left front balljoint, right rear bearing and rocker gaskets (I'm over that burning oil smell).

Also broke an injector pintle when doing the coolant bypass mod so going to do new o-rings, pintles and intake gaskets which were looking a bit ratty.

Fitted most of these bits over the weekend. Ball joint, PITA! Rear wheel bearing, PITA! Rocker gaskets, small PITA! Injector pintles and o-rings, OK.

Then it came to the intake manifold gaskets. Plenum gasket, "hang on, that looks a bit different to mine". Check my part number: Stagea, check. VQ35DE.........crap!

That's ok, the original one isn't THAT bad. Better check the intake manifold gaskets. Stagea, check. VQ25DET, check. Off with the intake manifold, "hang on, they look a bit different"...........crap!

So going by the permaseal website, these ARE for VQ25DET: http://www.aagaskets.com.au/EngineDetails.aspx?EngineID=2327

These ones are different again to VQ35DE so was there different port sizes on VQ25DET?

That'll learn me not to buy genuine!

When I do get the right parts I think I'll do the plenum spacer mod at the same time.

On a side note, I found a dude in Russia who turboed his 350GT using VQ25DET parts.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
