also factor in the price of interior trim to suit the new handbrake location, plus the pedal box from a Z33/V35. i guess only the clutch is needed + master and slave cylinders and relevant lines (braided would be easy) and installation of said items. there MIGHT not be a hole in the firewall where the clutch master would sit.

better pics of the xfer case on the m35 auto? It looks like a very good match to the R32/33/34 4wd setup. does someone have a 32/33/34 intermediate shaft they can stick into an m35 xfer case?

I tend to think the 32/33/34 box is the way to go, the interfaces are flywheel/clutch/input shaft (do-able), tailshaft (do-able) and intermediate shaft (do-able). I'd be surprised if the d22 navara stuff fits, they would have a very different front diff setup

You make a good point Duncan....might have to climb under one and check it out.

The R32/33/34 is pretty do able....only hold up is the bell housing....hence the reasoning behind the Navara scenario.

Leave it Auto, get a valve body upgrade from the states for 180usd, do whatever else needs doing in the auto and get that computer shit going and change the shift times if its possible.

how is that computer tune business going at sas? or wherever it is at now..

I already have a built box, still cant handle the power I want to run through it.

The ecu remap wont speed up the shifts, they happen instantly with the valve body upgrade, the issue is the throttle which closes during shifts and wont reopen for a bit, even though its in gear. If the SAS remap fixes that, a lot of people will be happy, im going Japanese reflash when I find a spare ecu.

Not all the time, just seems to be on initial application of throttle. If I boot it, at any speed, it takes a while to power on but once it is, shifts are instant and hard. Note that this only seems to happen under 3000 revs.

The damn ecu throttle lag I have been complaining about guys, it isnt that noticeable when stock as it gives a nice acceleration curve, but once powered up its a pain in the arse. Somebody lend me an ecu to send over, please? :)

I notice the throttle lag on the stock car i have.. its kinda annoying really as when you want to boot it. you have to think ahead of everything to do it..

The guys in the states with the same box dont seem to have issues with power? could it be something more m35 car related??

as for the valve upgrade.. it looks good. pretty cheap from the states too. and doesnt look too hard to fit at all. i might look at that to get the shift times a bit better since its only 180usd or there abouts.

you got the link for it?

Has anyone priced up buying a 2004-2005 manual stagea front cut from a importer?

Might cost up to $5K

Sell off the engine for $2-3K and use the rest

Is it that simple?

Reading the "modify auto posts" sounds like a bandaid fix for a problem that is still going to remain?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
