I have never been in anything with a turbo in it before let alone owned one...

Is this a normal level of boost... and how do i read the gauge like as in PSI.

This is a 2001 M35 Stagea

Here a couple of vids

First one is taking of from about 10kmh flat stick to about 85-100kmh

vid 1

The second is me cruising at about 80kmh and giving her a quick jab at the end...

vid 2

Thanks

We were discussing this in another thread just recently, do a search. I think the readout on the one you have is +1 Bar (14PSI), which is as high as you should run a ceramic setup if you want it to last.

Has nice pickup, something is definatly modded I reckon, my RS doesn't pick-up that well.

Has it got an aftermarket piggyback? If not I don't see what they are going to tune unless you are seeking someone to remap the factory ecu.

The turbo could be fine but so far 2 or more have lost turbo's, the ceramic one's just don't last forever.

How would the guy you brought it off know, they do little things here and there in Japan before they get here, who know's what goodies it's got :)

I just need a good mechanic that knows stageas to service it all for me.

The guy I use at the moment has never worked on one in his life::.

I'm sure someone here from QLD will advise you of a workshop familiar with M35's.

It's definatly the way to go though, if you are going to get someone else to service it etc. make sure you use someone who know's these cars.

I had my last service done by Hornsby Nissan.

Not for a stock RS. The needle should have stopped at just before the "+1" (+0.8).

"pickup" seems about right for the stock unit though.

actually 1 bar is 14.5psi :)

Yes. Yes it is.

I stole the .5, so sue me!

Afterall, what good is a halfy!

I was going to say half a bar but we talking PSI now, spoil sports :banana:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
