I cant believe this has happened the next day i put my new rims on..

getting on the M2 i accelerated put the foot down.. car looses power whilst gearing down.

no power at all

i can hear the turbo spooling but it's making a wierd noise instead of the familiar high pitch noise...

the noise sounds like a electrical fan thats on it's way out everytime the turbo kicks in...

So far i 've checked the codes on the car and it seems the Air Mass Senesor is faulity and also have another code on the Manifold Absolute pressure.

ive ordered a new AFM but people whom had turbo trouble in the past please shed some light to me..

Do u guys think it's new turbo time??

hmmmm without seeing I think it may be

+1.

Does it just make a high pitched sound or is it a sort of "Lllllolololololololololololo" type sound when under "boost"?

Not only that, but we had another M35 turbo go last week, exhaust wheel sheared itself from the shaft... Rumour has it, that is rather common... Never heard of it happening myself :)

(Let me know how you go Jase. Hope the info helped.)

Current definite state of origin score;

VIC - 2

NSW - 2 *Danny's is not a definite.... :) ....yet*

With stat's like that, it's confirmed the C34 is more reliable than the M35 and a much better car.

(let the fight begin) :)

Whilst I don't want to take this thread off on a M35 v C34 tangent... I am wondering how long an RB's OE turbo would last at 12-15psi... 100,000km's? Doubt it. Not to mention the timing belt... Don't you wish you had a chain instead?

LOL

I suppose that is why you are selling it.

Must be real happy with your C34, ay?

Could be just on totally the wrong track here, but i have found with a manual car anyway, when you put power down get a whole lota noise and such but no power its clutch, not too sure how this works with an auto but could it be something there?

Hi Danny

I don't know if this any help to you but I have a spare turbo that I am renting (for lack of a better word), so you could get this rebuilt and then just do a straight swap on the turbo.

The change over cost will be $50, provided I am given a turbo with in tact housing on return.

Let me know if you are interested. Send me a PM.

Cheers

Andy

Danny - check your intake piping, you'll be pissed if you start pulling everything apart expecting a turbo fault & discover a loose hose clamp, or split pipe...

WRT to the RB OE turbo at 15psi - not very bloody long. But it's not designed to, whereas the M35's is (theoretically...)

Yes, I wish I had a chain :D I was brought up on the L/FJ series, and the double-row chains are a 'good thing'!

(don't get me started on the SR timing gear - the Nissan engineers were having an off-day when they designed that one)

This is rather common in the 'frog eye' WRX Subarus with the TD04, I know 3-4 WRX drivers who've had this happen, havn't heard of a NISSAN with the same issue though.

Simple, buy an NA M35 :D ALMOST as much go without the hair drier :P

And did you know it comes in manual, I have heard a few M35 drivers mention they wished there cars had a manual option :)

My s2 turbo died at less kms than my M35 has now. The M35 turbo is likely very similar to the one used in the s2 stageas. Either way they are both ceramic and suffer the same limitations. The M35 only runs ~11 psi out of the factory so to my mind the only danger occurs when increasing the boost by either a boost guage or altering pressure somewhere in the system (ie. free-er flowing exhaust).

Of course there are some that are just unlucky, but that happens to the s2's as well (happened to mine at stock boost).

We could always run 7-8psi boost on the M35, but then we'd have to put up with s2 performance :P (just teasing - i used to own one).

Other than this I've yet to see or hear of evidence of any model of stagea having any "weak points" reliability-wise.

I never heard of this being a common fault with M35's...is it?

After a quick search I found 1 thread regarding this - the button still worked but just not the AUTO part.

Sorry Danny, offtopic... :P

Hope you get it sorted...

      You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha

      Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
