Not a bad result..

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

What temps have people had their M35s up to?

Little worried last night's overheating might have caused problems. It seems fine, and I understand M35s run warmer anyway, just like to put my mind at ease.

I have seen 125 degrees with an airlock in the system, and 116 on the straight at PI. Hopefully no bubbles in your radiator or overflowing coolant reservoir and you should be fine. That said, I am rebuilding another VQ25det atm due to a blown headgasket from overheating...

I finally got the 350 x 400 x 50mm trans cooler in tonight, that should take care of the gearbox temps. I still have to install the fan controller, there is a 9 inch Spal fan on the trans cooler and a 14 inch on the engine oil cooler. Both fans should turn on at a preset temp once I wire it up. Not much room left in front of the radiator now... :)

Very reassuring guys, thanks. Sooner I can get the Mishi in the better!

Funny thing about the coolant reservoir. Not sure I've ever seen the level change. Not sure if that is good or bad. Been the same level since I got the car 18 months or so ago.

It was pitch black and beginning to rain, with lightning on the way. I was glad to have it finished before the storm hits. Shame there is no room for the hoist in the shed. :(

The trans had the thermostat inline and also ran through the radiator so there was no problem getting it up to temp quickly. I had issues keeping the temps under control though. The fluid comes straight out of the torque converter into the cooler lines, mine was seeing stupid temps as around 30kw is lost as heat in the converter at full noise, quite often enough to boil the coolant in the radiator.

I have removed the radiator fittings and thermostat from the lines so there will definitely be issues getting the temp up now. Hopefully it will still warm enough to drop into 5th fairly quickly, if not I will re-fit the thermostat.

It will definitely rise once you double the amount of coolant in the system. What pressure cap are you running?

The Nismo cap. 1.3... Bar?

Car has never been overheated though, and I've never done anything to the cooling system... Until the cooling mod.

It must have had a large airlock in the system, you need to recheck the coolant when cold for the next few mornings any time you dump it and refill.

I took 2 pics for you guys, the fittings on both coolers are touching the plastic undertray so run the full height of the radiator. Hopefully the Mishimoto will still do its job. This is all possible due to the intercooler being cut down and moved forward, bolted under the intrusion bar.

I also got around to fitting the fan controller for both thermos and for displaying trans/oil temps. Kewish have asked me to modify a few of the signals going back to the TCU, including both temp signals and the main line pressure solenoid. Should be interesting to see what I can do manually with regards to line pressure, and the best part is, no more limp mode if the fluid gets too hot at the track. :)

I need to paint the control panel stealth black yet, if I cbf...

No Navi in the base model... ftw... :)

I can now run full line pressure, (farkin hard shifts), or factory adjustable line pressure with variable adjustment using the TFT temp knobs. Seems to work well on around 60 degrees from my quick play today. It's off to Kewish next Wednesday for pressure readings, I think they will be impressed with the mods. :)

So can i get one thing straight , these air bag like fault/issue lights come on basically due to 'cheap' wiring of sorts ? Or were they connected incorrectly , like the example with the person saying that their battery was going flat and then the airbag light comes on ? :S

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
