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.

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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
