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!

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
