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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
