Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

Hi All

Thought I might give an update on my Turbo removal. Took about 3.5 hours. This included spending about 30 minutes to remove one 10mm bolt holding the heat shield. Had to remove exhaust, tail shaft and transmission mount bolt so I was able to push engine/trans unit across to the right to allow removal of turbo. I was lucky to have the use of a two post hoist and 3/8 drive sockets whit swivel heads.

Priced a new unit from Nissan $1950 plus tax, two weeks delivery.

Precision Turbochargers Sydney approx $1400 yet to be confirmed.

What had the turbo done?

Exhaust turbine was still there but had lost some of its vanes. Bearings were seized also. I think this happened after the turbine damage, as once power was lost turbo could still be heard trying to boost for a couple of days.

Looking forward to refit later this week and more torque.

Yep, same as VQ35 and SR engines.

You could go OEM for $20 OR you could go a Nismo filter for a little more :P

Can I ask what was wrong with the Ryco ones? I've used Ryco for as long as I can remember and throught they were half decent.

So the 'extra' right white dome is the fog light?

Confused... which is the one with the cold pack, and what exactly does the cold pack include?

Thanks guys, im getting s Stag soon and the one im looking at has the winking lights.

Red one on the right is the fog light.

Cold pack has heated front windscreen, a heater element in the air vent to heat up the air faster, heated side mirrors.

The power and torque delivery of the VQ25DET is incredibly smooth there.

Some things I noted:

  • Boost starts becoming noticeable somewhere just before 2000rpm (as suspected)
  • The VQ35DE has more torque until 2000rpm where the VQ25DET smashes it (well, until the very top end).
  • Actually, all the others have more torque than the VQ25DET initially.
  • The VQ25DET has overall the most power and torque where it really counts (say 1500-3500rpm)

VQ25DET = awesomest! :banana:

I have to add my point. Personally I don't believe that's a very good comparison if they have actually used a 350Z (Z33) car to go against a VQ25DET Stagea. I've driven both an auto 350Z and a PM35 and both cars delivers their power and torque differently. A PM35 is bloody quick off the mark, and surprisingly, I felt it was quicker than an auto 350Z. Why? The gearing on both cars are vastly different. The PM35 felt like it had a shorter gearing than the 350Z, making it spring off the mark better.

I've been surprised at how well a PM35 goes compared to an NM35. In city driving, I would actually prefer the naturally aspirated engine than a turbo. The moment you stomp on the gas of a PM35, it just shoots away. Sure the turbo NM35 will develop more power and torque at higher rpm than the VQ35DE, but it's that instant response of an n/a that I'm very impressed with.

And so much so the last 3 Stageas that we have sold recently have been PM35's. 2 of the buyers drove both the turbo and n/a cars and both decided the later model Stags drove better. The other buyer was from interstate.

But if you're after a Stag with mod potential, then the turbo wins hands down.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
