do you think it would fit in our M35's? comparing between this and my sisters V35. the box is the same.. would the AFM tell it to f**k off in other words.. lol

Yes, It does fit.. Danny had it fitted to his Gold ARX when he had it.

Yep, as Andy said, straight bolt in... but sadly it is canary material in Vic (you already have the FMIC)

yeh but it looks stock...and its sooooo nice.. :( thanks for ruining me cam haha

Would they notice it though? coz it looks stock right?

You see the pod through the powerduct

I've seen the setup...it is nice....sounds good too.....why is it defect material.....the POD is separated from the engine bay?

irrelevant. One intake mod allowed in Vic.

Aaron has a FMIC so that is it for legality.

lol ok me and scott decided. this is happening after my first tune. so the addition of it being added can actually be determined as worth it or not.

if its an 11 hp gain for vq35de then it should be huge for a forced induction - with the addition of a larger suction pipe.. plus i'll find a loop hole before then.

Looking at Stillen's site:

http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STIZTBE01&c=PE&year=2003&make=INFINITI&model=G35%204DR

What's the 2nd kit? a straight tube?

Interesting that no one's got a CAI on the M35 yet...which means the stock air box is...tolerable?

2nd kit is for N/A VQ35/25's.

You can get a pod and enclose it if you really want one. Blitz and M's have pod "kits" but they just sit behind the headlight.

Stock airbox with powerduct/home made powerduct will be sufficient.

the Z tube is a piece that goes between the AFM and the throttle body. The std G35/V35 PNM35 unit has all these baffles and shit that is designed to reduce intake resonance. This gets shafted in place for a straight tube off a Z33. more power(?) and better intake sound.

Wont fit on a NM35

Hi,

I have been lurking here for a while now......

I have been wanting to get a Stagea for about 7 or 8 years and I am finally about to make the move.

I am looking at M35's but after hours on this thread and others I am a bit concerned about the turbo issue.

Are they guaranteed to go about 100,000km, or is it just a few that it happens to? And would an ARX4 be worse due to the higher boost?

As far as I can tell this is this case and the repair bill can be around $2k.

If anyone could clarify it would me much appreciated.

Cheers

NO guarantees on the turbo's at all, I have been told of them failing as low as 50'000km (but that car was found to have at least 50'000km would back on the clock) and I know mine was still good at 125'000km (ARX). Whilst it was still working, it was starting to go as oil was leaking from the bearing. I think if you look after the car, change oil every 7000km as a minimum with quality oil you could see 150'000km from this turbo. You are going to have to hope the previous owner looked after the car as well as you would.

If you need to change the turbo, there are a number of option to rebuild the turbo. You can have it rebuilt the same size from about $800 or a large high flow up to $2000. The removal of the turbo and replacement is the hard work. The best method is to remove the motor and gear box. This is about 6 hours of work so a few dollars there.

If the turbo worries you, have a look at the PM35, the NA version of the same car with a 3.5L motor. Very good car, newer and a little more expensive. They are available from North Shore Prestige.

Good luck with your decision.

Cheers

i own an m35 with 117k on the clock - probably more as the cluster HAD been removed at some stage before - and its still going

also have another one with 105k on the clock and its also running fine.

if you look after it, it will keep going.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
