M35 Stagea rear fog install

Hi from the UK!

Firstly thanks for all the great info on this site - if it wasn't for everything here I probably wouldn't have bought a Stagea.

So I've just imported a 350RX Four into the UK and a requirement for our MOT is that there be a rear fog light installed.

Unfortunately while my car does have the cold pack it doesn't have the rear fog conversion in the righthand reverse light.

Has anyone converted this before? Any idea how I could go about this...I've searched high and low but unfortunately there's not a lot of info out there on this!

EDIT: Just thought I'd add I'm also looking to convert the 180 km/h gauge to mph. I've seen a few 350z gauges that look very similar but the rev counter is on the other side? Mine's RPM on left and speed on right. Don't suppose any of you will have changed these anyway but thought I'd ask!

Cheers

Gaz

Despite Brexit sooner or later England will join the rest of the world in adopting international units of measure such as grams and metres so think of yourself as a trail - blazer!

Thanks for the info guys. Went to get the car MOT'd yesterday and unfortunately it failed on emissions. The guy testing said the car began to overheat during the test so he had to turn it off. He didn't think the fan was running. I immediately got the car running again and temp was fine...no sign of overheat on way to or on the way back from the test.

Reckon it's possible the fan hadn't kicked in before as the car's been sat for months? It's getting retested on Thurs but I'm going to take it for a good run first this time as it'd only done 4 miles to the garage.

The exhaust may also have a minor leak around the flexi hose section on the driver side. Guessing this is a fairly common problem with these cars now given their age? I'd been looking into getting a Fujitsubo exhaust but that only replaces from the centre back correct?

Correct. You will also need a front pipe made and that will allow you to delete that plex section if wanted.

That's crazy thin! Nice to see how it sits on the S-tune suspension though. Hoping to get mine on that at some point although think I'll be aiming for 245/45/18 when I get new wheels due to the poor road quality in the UK. I've just stuck brand new tyres (RE002's) on the original 17's so that won't be for too long though.

Lots of plans but for now just need to get the thing road legal and running!

Finally got my M35 road worthy - had to have a custom y-pipe section made but I'm not too upset as it's stainless and has a lifetime warranty. Found a great little exhaust place close to me called Cybox that's done some cool 370z exhausts - check their short tail exhausts on youtube. Not planning on going that loud myself but I might get them to fab up some nice dual exhausts to finish off the job at some point!

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
