Mine is still going I think, I lent it to Jase a year ago. 13 years is pretty reliable if you ask me.

If only Nissan still sold that original part, not the part they sell now which only lasts a few weeks. (if you are lucky.)

My aftermarket ones seem to be lasting fine Leon... :)

That's a good point Scotty, & you are totally correct. Just because a heap have failed in the last 12 months or so, doesn't make the AFM any less reliable then a cam sensor, window motor or electric seat switch. They're all going to be getting close to the end of their life after 13 years or so.

I've got 2 original AFM's & given how little distance my car gets driven, I reckon I'm set for another decade or 2 :)

it happens every now & then in between gears. I'll be looking into the Kompact BOV asap.

Where does the factory boost guage connect up ? Mine is is always reading in the neg & occasionally goes to 0.

Is there a guage you can swap in it's orig place without going all ricer & mounting one.?

sensor of a black oval box in engine bay next to wheel arch. Pull it apart and resolder the points.

To follow on from the Facebook argument from last night... M35 part required for when the time travel switch fails on the clock assembly.

Does anyone have the part number for the lower ballpoints from Nissan and a price? I recently sourced some v35 ones and installed them and now front end has constant cracking in the front end.

For ballpoints, you can't go past BIC. :P

Assume you mean ball joints yeah? the lowest ones on the steering knuckle?

Nissan doesn't sell it separately, they'll only sell you the whole assembly. Have to go on ebay.

Was it these ones you bought?

Microguard Pure-Tron Cabin Filter: B74946N025

This probably won't help many. I found that my Stagea didn't use the standard cabin filter instead in it's place is a Microguard Pure-Tron:

When i'd pulled the glove box etc.. out i was presented with this:

Amayama have the replacement filter for ~$65. Looking for alternatives.

Yeah it's an Ioniser, with a filter sitting in it. It's the first one I've seen like this, all the previous ones i've seen / dealt with have been the parcel shelf models in Skylines and 'rollas.

The standard filter doesn't fit, it's way too big (i purchased one prior to pulling the car apart). The ioniser takes a up about half the height and the filter sits within it's frame making it smaller in all directions.

Size comparison (Stock filter bottom):

I had the same as this on my ARX. Gave up trying to find a replacement that fitted, and when back to the XTrail/Maxima sized one...

In addition, the actual ioniser screen was discussting, covered in cigarette smoke like rubbish... Actually found it all in the garage over the weekend and tossed it..

G'day all,

I'm chasing part numbers and possible price of valve stem seals for vq25det engine. Any help would be great.

It's an engine out job, are you sure it's the valve stem seals? Have you tried leak testing them or something?

It's just the PCV valve, it sucks crankcase vapours into your engine and overnight they condense and run down onto the valve. It burns off as you take off in the morning.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. I ended up fitting a catch can to my PCV line, but it has to be sealed as it's in vac. It worked well to stop it, but it's a pain to drain.

    • 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?
