I got around to cleaning my car and taking a couple of pics.

The rear muffler is the Nissan sport one with the switch on the dash. All week I had been trying to pick the difference and couldn't, I could here the electric motor when I flicked the switch but that was it. Turned out the butter fly was seized so that is all fixed now.

I also removed the front section of the air box just to see how it sounded.

When I took it for a drive after that with heavy braking for 100kph there is quite a bit of shuddering but im sure if I get the disks machined and new pads this should be ok. What also happened twice after flooring it to 100kph and then slowing to a stop was the engine stalled, Any ideas what could cause this?

Also dose anyone know what this is?

It sounds like the throttle body needs a clean if you are stalling, then a throttle learn procedure.

Save for some r32/r33 gtr front brakes, the stock ones are just too thin for such a heavy wagon, don't waste you money on trying to fix the single pot setup.

ETC toll device by the looks of it, bin time.

Thanks

Im not sure what the wheels are there just the ones that were on it. There not what I would go buy but they will do for now.

Ill have a look at the throttle body next weekend, I dont normally drive that way so not a real problem.

Ive been have a bit of a look around and looks like the skyline calipers will be the way to go, I dont need anything to special. Do they have to be the GTR ones, how hard are they to come across?

I was I initially going for r34 brakes but ended up with r33. Still a good cheap upgrade. I think these will be more than good enough for an m35 as 95% of them will only see street duty rather than the track.

$300 for a front brake upgrade is pretty good value to me!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
