Questions On M35

[QJQ]

1. ARX rims are 18 x 7.5 JJ, +40 offset.

2. I don't have any recommendations for tyres yet but the tyre placard says 225/55 R18 97H, although my ARX has 235/50 R18 101V (these came with it when I bought it). Having said this, when I upgrade my wheels I'll be looking at a larger rolling diameter to hopefully correct the speedo and maybe even improve the fuel economy.

3. In the "M35 - Light Changes" thread M35 - Light Changes recently Duncan (Dunc) posted a photo of the indicator bulb. Basically it is a larger version of the parker (T10). I think they are known as T20 and it should be 21 watts as specified in the handbook. I'm fairly certain the rear bulbs are the same as the front.

Cheers

Those T20s are bloody massive - might be what Dunc was talking about. This kind of thing: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/T20-Amber-Front-Indicator-Blinker-Lexus-ES300-2001-2009-/320644252369?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa7e302d1#ht_5621wt_922

thx for the replies...

one more thing, where to get good hubcentric spacers? ebay ones are just too risky

[richzx]

I have the ebay ones from the guy in NZ and they are fine.

That is a "Rack end".

Hi chaps..

Question - Does anyone know if the VQ25DET turbo to dump gasket is the same as the RB26s? Will install a new system soon and need to know.

Cheers all..

[slippylotion]

Generally the stock one will go the distance. It is good quality and still using the stock one after turbo change 4.5 years of driving.

+1. I think mine looked perfect when it came out but put it back with a smear or hi temp silicon on both sides just to be sure.

[scotty nm35]

High temp silicone will go hard and brittle on the turbo housing Leon, I only use it if the flange wont seal now.

As there is no real pressure after the turbo the gasket isnt critical, it should be fine even if its cracked. Our turbo outlet gasket is VQ specific and was only on the VQ25det's and VQ30det's, you will need to go through Nissan for that one.

The pre turbo gasket where it bolts to the manifold is a standard T3 gasket and should be replaced whenever the turbo is removed with a good multi layered stainless gasket. Pressures in the manifold can be quite high.

Part number for the turbo gasket is 14445-4P200 in case you need it. For reference it was only used on Stagea (VQ25det) and F50 Cima (VQ30det)

This may help.

Its not the right gasket going by the picture. Im sure they would send the right one though.

I hope not! I'd be royally peed if I have to remove the dump again. But I had a look at the packet & it's temp rated for turbos.

In any case, it was only a smear, more to hold it in place than anything else. It all seems OK till now & been on for a while too - see what happens in the next few years.
