Sorry if this is the wrong place to post,

Hi all i'm new here so here goes....

For the last year, I have been in the process of building my track/race 350z 2006 with all of the driveline, VQ38VHRTT from the new R35 GTR Jap spec halfcut from Japan.

Painstakenly the engine, twin airboxes and all of the wiring has been fitted and bolted under the hood to keep the car looking stock as possible. All of the rear diff, transmission and suspension have been welded/fitted and bolted in the rear end from the halfcut I imported from japan 2008.

When I recived my shipment from japan most of the parts were missing! Critical parts like the ECU (needed to run the gearbox and quick launch) front Seats, steering wheel are all gone. Apparently now my biggest problem is (which i found out last night talking to my mechanic) that I cannot use my Motec m600 to run the car according to him the car will start but not drive as the whole ecu controls the transmission. I have read posts from here and see you guys are the ones in the know! What should i do? Wanting the car to look stock but packing punches, how can i get it to start should i buy a new ecu immobiliser keys? anybody have japanese sources for parts?

how much would this All cost? any help is much appreciated.

Not sure many people will be able to help you out. You are definitely treading on very unknown grounds there mate :sweat:. I know work on the R35 ECU has been going on but as for running the engine out of the car.. wow :). Photos?

The car will be used for the strip so speed limiting will definiely out of the question, gradually as the engine receives mods and turbos ect.... down the track would like to have a ecu to handle the change. For now I am looking at getting her running and engineered for registration purposes.

Send Haltec an email, I know they where working on a gearbox control when everything went a little pear-shaped.

Have you also thought about old-style H-pattern gear selection and custom parts, might be something else also to think about.

As for everyone wanting pics, how bout help the guy, then ask for pics :down:

it sounds like bs.

The VQ35 is a great engine to start with. Wouldn't it be easier just to stroke it bolt on some turbos and put a holinger behind it?

It would be alot less hassle. Not as interesting 'pics' wise, but easier.

Besides, it's not called a VQ38VHRTT. I reckon if you'd gone to all the trouble of sourcing it and sticking it in the car you'd know the correct engine designation. And you wouldn't normally get front seats in a half cut, and definately not a rear mounted transaxle gearbox.

Sorry mate, it's nothing personal, just that a few things don't quite add up.

However, if you are genuine, then good on ya mate for doing something different, and if the pics do surface, then I'll eat my hat.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
