I came accross the Stillen Cold air for the G35.

http://www.intensepo...hicoairbox.html

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.

but the standard is FMIC. which means its just a replacement right :ph34r:

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

Andy

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.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
