Josh's NM35 Version 2

[joshm35]

I wonder if the PNM35/G35x trans would plug in to your loom. Might be a worthy swap as it has nicer changes and no external pump to worry about.

I will definitely look into that option. Need to remove the box to replace the output shaft speed sensor as its located in the spacer between the transfer case and valve body. (Need to remove both transfer case and spacer to get to it)

Installed the front pipe with new bolts and gasket as well as polished up the Nismo catback. Dash removed and wiring checked and pins reset ready for the parts arriving on Wednesday from Jason. Also removed the outsidereo that was on the Nismo rear bar for a cleaner look.

So how do I join the que to get the similar treatment to mine ? very keen to watch the progress

With new carpet, washer bottle etc arriving yesterday from Victoria the stagea is almost back together. Still have some headunit wiring to sort out along with reinstalling the amps. Have a locksmith booked in for the 30th for reprogramming and diagnosis.

Headlights look black inside in that last pic.

Did you do them ?

 

[joshm35]

No. Think its just the angle and weather was pretty overcast today. Not sure if im a fan of the black headlights.

Todays job was to reinstall the weather shields. Ive noticed they have been sprayed with what i think is that tail light tinting spray. I will have to sand them back and reapply as the coverage is poor. When i ripped the rainguards off they had the old grey tape still on with a few sikaflex'd on with white sika flex (more of a sealing agent than a adhesive) and the other few had white double sided tape so both were very noticable. So i have removed 95% and taken back to the bare plastic. I then used a black adhesive sikaflex that will hold them better and hide the adhesive more. Just have to remove the tape after 3 hrs and wipe away any excess sika with grease & wax remover.

Got a bit of time today so worked on the amp mount location. I received a under boot tray a few days ago so put it to good use and mounted the amps where i had my last one. I just need to wire it all up and install 4 pcu fans to circulate air around the amps.

Josh, what's your preference on the sound deadening matting ? Keep finding mixed reviews on all of them without any decent data to prove one is better over the other

[joshm35]

Essentially they are all the same. Personally id use dynamat as something is better than nothing

No worries, appreciate the reply [emoji106]

Big day yesterday pulling interior out checking wiring harness for damage and testing starter motor.

[joshm35]

Been a big development with the stagea over the last 24hrs. She now started. I have read up that because the car never shown a engine light there was a possible earthing issue so i started checking all wiring in the engine bay. Found a black plug next to the battery that, to the naked eye looked connected, when pushed down it clicked and gave me back the engine light. I still had no starter signal when key was turned but i have fuel pump and fuel through the injectors. So i hooked up a direct 12v feed to a push button and now car starts. I still have to find why there is no starter signal but for now she starts and i can move her around and have all the other items addressed.

Have you had a good look at the IPDM ?, could have moisture damage
