Looks fantastic, very nice taste in mods too. They really need the 20's hey, hard to fill those guards with anything smaller.

I like it!

Thanks very much. Finding the right wheels for the car was an exersize. When you do find them you just know it. The 20's are a perfect fit would of liked a little more width though. But I'm just being picky.

Looking forward to this wednesday to see what it can do down the quater. Maybe high 14's ( just guessing ) have no idea really. Its still a bit laggy off the mark. Have a boost controler on its way but don't think it will get here in time. Be able to compare for the next time.

Good luck on the 1/4. I think you might actually be the first M35(or AR-X) across it in AUS....let us know how you go.

P.S. Some useless BS for you. Read some BS about the bottom end's of the VQ25DET being weak...false!!!...Had a talk to some guy on the weekend who imported a V35 Skyline and put a Twin turbo kit(700HP..maybe crank)on it. He basically said that the VQ25 and VQ35 have the same bottom ends. In short there's nothing wrong with the bottom end's on them(his words). Also spoke to someone else about the Turbo...he said pull it out, High flow and ballbearing it and it will be good for about 13PSI everyday(standard is 7 or 8).

P.S.S Good luck mastering the manual shift!!!!...I think I worked it out...shift about 1,000 rev's before red line...I think...lol

Thanks for the info I reccon the turbo will be the next thing to be played with. Just as soon as I get some more coin in the pocket.

Have been told that the week link is the gear box if you want big power. Starts to run hot.

Been playing with launches. Tried putting it in neutral reving it to 2500 - 3000 droping it in gear and plying the power. BIG BANG and off it went. Probably not a good idea to do that again LOL. Next was a lot of break reving it to 2500 releas and go. Lot better but still not that great. Problem is the car does just not like to launch from a stand. Bugger it we will just see what happens very interested to see how it goes myself.

Have you tried a small stall to start the boost going....release - then progressive throttle rather than right to the floor(this is something to master...lol)...I find mine get's out of the hole quicker doing that....if I put my foot to the floor it feels like it goes backwards....Once up and going though, foot all the way down and it should sit in the arse untill 180km/h.

P.S. Would not be doing to many rev' and dumps into gear....might also find that the boost does not climb doing that anyway.

preffer not to say publicly

hiya, 2001 stagea ar-x 4 in melbourne, registered in december this year. disapointed bout the screen being almost unusable. and needs a new exhaust system,so we can actually hear it. does anyone know who supplies a good system?

Had mine done in Sydney...cat back...you could ring them and ask about shipping one down...let me know if you want more info.

P.S. Opening up the exhaust will make no difference if you don't do the Turbo and booste gauge.

this is basically what I've had to do but it was quite a mission

turbo feels a lot stronger though

likes to growl :)

You gotta like it buddy , the M35 series is in another league to C34 models.

Arent the plastic guards standard on ARX'-4s or maybe on later ones?

A bit audi allroadish but nice anyhows, a bit chunkier.

A few have hit WA shores and ive seen a few in brisy with affordable price tags.

The autech axis is the bomb and I have also seen an Impul version, pity about the axis grille though its a bit limo, I wonder what does the autech package include

Interior is luxurious as a prestige touring wagon should be its modern and similar to R35 and is also decent even in lower spec 250RSt.

Ive seen some rare manuals at japanese auctions through prestige motorsport three months ago.

Cool about the dolphin kit, it sorta needs one.

Check out these pics. I also saw my first R35 GTR today in Perth, I nearly died.

Enjoy yer ride bro..I hope to have a M35 soon aswell.

does anyone no where the boost can be lifted to on the m35 before effecting air fuel / ping point with AU 98ron fuel?

also What are the actual specs of the stock turbo? are they ceramic bush or ball bearing ? t3 t28?

I can't tell you the actual specs but this is the information I have gatered so far from a number of sources.

  • the turbo housing and flange are unique.
  • the turbo is ceramic.
  • Standard boost is meant to be 0.8bar(11psi), however I see 15psi under full acceleration droping back to about 12-13psi. Others are also seeing similar levels or more.
  • The turbo has been described as being bult for the job although not the most efficint turbo.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Andy

the vq25det is also not the only turbo vq series engine

the vq30det came out in y32 cima's and other luxury nissans and is a pretty good motor, dude here been making nearly 500rwhp on standard one for quite a while now, they'll also do 300rwhp on a stock turbo (with a manual)

however the stock turbo is like other nissan turbo's, doesn't like more than 1 bar or it shits out a ceramic wheel

awesome car dude

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
