so the s2 rwd stageas can be converted with a v35 6 speed geabox conversion kit from the post stated a few posts above ?

No body has done it, but it seems pretty straight forward. Need the interior bits and pieces, pedals, and hydraulics too. Then figure out if the ecu needs any auto gearbox inputs.

Give it a go I say ;)

well if my mates can fit a 260 boss engine into their r33 drift car, i cant see how they couldn't do this! waiting on advanced jap auto imports to give me a price.

Anything is possible depending on your determination and funding. Been proven as dcdc is building a manual m35 with a r34gtr gearbox. Scotty was looking at a 350z 6 speed a while ago and I think the issue was the tunnel fitment when can be massaged to make fit.

Getting the mechanicals in place will be the easiest part of an NM35 manual AWD conversion.

Getting all the ECU's to play nice with one another, will be the trick with this one.

The starter motor is on the other side I am fairly sure, you would have to compare the two to see if the 3.5 sump might be able to be used? Running the manual V35 3.5L engine, ecu's, bcm, relay box etc and wiring loom would be a must I think, and a great can of worms.

Hopefully the chassis is similar enough, otherwise nothing might fit. The AWD stagea chassis is completely different to the V35 chassis...

The Stagea 350s came in a 6 speed manual, it was an Autech version. I reckon if you could get that in your VQ25DET it would be sweet....if you can get it in.......if it is suitable....if it was cheap enough ...so many if's

Yes, I watched one of the Autech 6 speeds at Japanese auction house with 70,000k's sell for $12,000 nzd. 3 times more than standard M35 and auto Axis models. They only come in a 2.5L engine I thought with the 6 speed.

So the best bet is actually a complete engine swap including the transmission, starter, sump etc to a 3.5, rather than keeping the 3.0DD in there

Yeah thats true.

Yeah the guy over here did his with a toyota box IIRC. Same as the ones in supras etc. Think the 30det was out of a Cedric or Gloria.
Looks like the best way to go really, although I would like to keep a nissan box in there, I'm kind of strange like that.

A car swap is the way to go, but I like my car. The blue with the aero kit is hard to come by over here in NZ

Nz engineers report, certification, teething problems etc.

I've always driven manuals, current work vehicle is a 6 speed, totally over it. Can't wait for the auto wagon to arrive.

Gone for me are the days of spending thousands of dollars to modify some shit box I purchased, only to sell it later and lose money.

Save the cash, buy the vehicle you really want that doesn't require a gas axe, maybe get a few bolt ons.

The vehicle will have a good resale value cause it has not been modified.

I can get all that, half my family is in that business.

I've only had manuals up until now, I'm not 100% sure whether I'd be over the auto if I got it done, but I think it would add something to the car.

However, I completely see where you are coming from, and I agree with the good resale value.

Couple of things I don't agree with. :D

If you're ganna get cut about the resale of yo modified car doesn't that defeat the whole modifying purpose in the first place? When I buy shit for the car I don't think "fu*k, this is going to fu*k my resale value to all fu*k and beyond."

I also don't agree with the "good resale" part... Good resale to me is a profit, property normally has good resale not cars.

I modify my car for personal gain, as in learning something and my own limits of what I can do. To me my car brings value to me in terms of enjoyment, I enjoy seeing it become something else that I've done or achieved with the car.

agree whole heartedly. plus they way i look at it the only better wagon in the world is an Audi RS6 which is damn expensive so spending a few grand to make it compare with an RS6 is worth it as i still saved nearly $200K :D

I only ever start thinking about the " oh fu€k " when I go to resell, end up losing money and wish I had more money to spend on my next vehicle. Lack of funds = missed opportunity.

Good resale is not losing crap loads of money, you don't need to make a profit. If I broke even at a point of sale, then I was happy.

Most of the time with modified vehicles, I ended up spending lots of money, investing lots of time, stuck with a highly modified old car by the time I got bored with it. People were reluctant to buy because they don't know what kind of "can of worms" it was and for the same asking price, could purchase a newer more modern car that had superior design and engine qualities stock standard.

I guess I just got tired of always being broke.

Yeah, that's until VW release the Golf R wagon...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
