No Mate, its simply not possible. unless you can cut the valve body in half. As far as your Mazda Lysholm screw goes, there would be sfa chance of getting that to fit with the available space, its simply the wrong shape. Whether or not its flow delivery is spec'd right for this this engine too is a whole other kettle of fish. Your comment on the Vortech kinda worries me too. Over the years I have seen some pretty decent custom single turbo setups on this platform & even custom twins, but trust me they weren't cheap, which is why they actually worked so well. Unfortunately with this platform its more about whats possible, than what you personally think is the best option. Pretty much every scenario you can come up with ,someone has considered it before & decided against it. You are not going to find some magic silver bullet idea to do any sort of decent custom setup without an absolute f**k load of time & money to throw at it. You also have to consider the effect on the reliability of your engine with something that has been cobbled together, there is much more to this than simply having a way to get compressed air into the engine. I have spent my life time doing this sort of crap & i'm nearly 60, trust me, been there done that. On the other hand nothing would make me happier than if you could build a $5000 Turbo kit for your Car, do it & prove me wrong, i'll me the first to shake your hand.

Yea, the Boosted Performance kit has been around for quite a while now. With the newer V2 kit no piping goes through the RHS of the Motor, so no issues with the steering nuckle. The issue is, he has the turbo mounted on the RHS & the air cleaner sits in where the steering knuckle is. Sasha will never do an Auto as there is simply not enough room for the Turbo with the pan from the trans. His earlier 350Z kits had the Turbo mounted behind the Trans where there is more room if it were an Auto. If you are really wanting to do this on a tight budget, have you considered using stock R35 GTR Turbos with a Manifold adapter plate. Stock parts can be had very cheap as there is no market for them with the GTR Guys. With work, you can use the Intercoolers, turbo's, injectors, most of the Piping. HK Power in Germany have been doing this for a few years now & recently a fellow on The370Z did his own version that worked well. P.S. most people on here are aware of this info, but good luck with what you are attempting, I still really feel you are not aware of complexity & true costs of what you are trying to do. Have you considered a Used Stillen supercharger Kit from the US, they have come a long way in regard to performance & reliability with the A2A kit. I can put you onto a Guy who will be selling one in around 6 months in Melbourne if you are interested.

So if you are to, as you say "avoid brand names at all cost", how do you tell which of the non branded parts such as the turbo kits I linked to above are the good ones, & which are the crap ones. Do they just have lesser known brands on them. Or do you go cheap but just not the cheapest. Just asking.

Here you go Champ, right up your alley. Single Turbo, no brand name parts, just good old fashioned Chinese goodness & just over $1000au. I reckon you could build something really great with these parts. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-T3-T4-Turbo-Turbocharger-Kit-Blue-for-350Z-Z33-Nismo-370Z-Z34-G35-G37-/263005348096?hash=item3d3c572100:g:CR0AAOSwH09ZKHXp Or the Twin Turbo version http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-SUPER-TWIN-TURBO-KIT-FOR-350Z-370Z-SUPRA-300ZX-3000GT-NSX-GTR-G35-TT-G37-R35-/401365861316?hash=item5d734503c4:g:egYAAOSwggpZb~pR

Sorry to be so harsh bud, but it really sounds like you don't have a clue what your doing. For example "as its a single turbo so use basic single plumbing in/out. Keep stock air intakes" erm No. I think you need to do a bit more research. 5K + labour, I'd like to see that.

Go to here. http://nissan.epc-data.com/ & start searching, start with ckv36. They are listed under the accessory section B85. I recently replaced one of my sensors.

Yep, that's Genuine.

No need to be like what, you asked the question. Sorry if my answer was not what you wanted. I was merely pointing out that decent suspension components aren't cheap, particularly if you want a tailored result, such as a comfortable 50mm drop.

Basically this statement means you will be pushing sh1t up hill to get something suitable.

As stated above the offset is all wrong. The only v36's i've seen with Z wheels, had fully sic neg camber & stretched skinny ass tyres. To some people I guess that means you can make them fit. A set made up of Z fronts on all 4 would be a better option, but seriously, just get a set of wheels with the right off set from the get go.

Less than 1K? I dont think so Champion.

Ring your insurance company & find one of their recommended repairers in your area.

Its the poverty pack/base model front bar.

Nice work Mate, some good reference info for folks there.

I'm interested, can you post up some better pics.

Personally I dont think drilling a hole in the thermostat will achieve what you want. I have actual gauges fitted to my V36 that monitor all of the fluid temps (water, oil, transmission, diff.) When the stock gauge indicates that its warmed up it really is only slightly warm (coolant that is). Engine oil even less so & oil pressure has barely dropped to a drive-able level. It really hasn't fully warmed up for 4-5 K's, so your hole could possibly become a problem. Cheers.

A lot of threads about it on myG37. Seems to be cars that have had a lot of sun exposure over their life. Mine has a touch of it too in a couple of spots, just gets a bit sticky when its left in the sun. I always us a sunshade behind the screen when I park it & it seems to keep it in check. There was talk of trying to get Nissan to do a recall, but I dont think that went anywhere. Big job replacing the dash. Cheers Mate.

FWIW, Nolathane, Noltec & Whiteline are all owned by Redranger. Whiteline was aquired by them in 2007 & manufacturing was subsequently moved off shore. Focus within the company was then shifted from Quality based to profit based, with the expected results.

Whiteline aint what it used to be. A mate of mine in an ex long term Whiteline employee & a very reputable suspension tuner. Superpro FTW, if you want quality that's where it is. Some of the Whiteline stuff is okay, but its a bit of a crap shoot, Quality control, or a lack of it is their big issue. Just stick with Superpro.

Just painted my Tails & a couple of other things.
