I got through the last 2 summmers here in Adelaide but this one I have replaced the radiator (the top tank split) and the car is waiting on a new turbo but apart from that it is a great car.

It can be a bit sluggish in the heat I just dont boost it that hard.

Never had to regas aircon and it is still super cold

And car never ran hot except for the radiator problem

I think a bigger intercooler is a must for next summer

AC could do with a regas, has anyone needed to regas their M35 at all. .

Nope, never had a re-gas and is still awesomely cold :)

Aaron, puhleeeeeeze don't get Andy started on a water spray for the intercooler

(although I did agree it was a good idea)

Andy get started! lol

I would only want it to spray as Im accelerating, or in a more proper way to come on when i get to 10psi.

but is it gonna give me much of a gain seeing as the temp sensor is in the AFM? which will back the timing out if its hot anyway..

run a hose into the washer bottle and use that one. or piss off the rear washer hose and use that motor.

or put in a valve to activate the front spray instead of going to the rear.

there are plenty of options!

mmm.... all controlled by the factory stalk.

I like.

Plus the way the rear dribbles water out is practically useless anyway.

LOL

I await flaiming for this.

I found a very small twig off a tree, and strategically shoved it in the nozzle of the jet. My luck it sprayed perfectly around the window and wiper, until it fell out and went back to the useless dribble.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      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.
