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.

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 :)

(let the fight begin) :blink:

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.

*cough* power windows *cough*

I really need to get this swine flu looked at :blink:

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...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
