whats similar is that they are auto stags with highflows....... its all the same basic principles / theories.

S1, S2, M35, all stags with the varied stagea features, auto boxes are auto boxes, and high flows are highflows. again a variety in types..... :)

May be the same principles, but... auto boxes are not all the same. The clutch packs in my box are just too small for the power I want to run. Unless you know of a manual that fits easy, I have no choice but to limit the torque output.

I installed the turbo today, also stuck heat shield around the turbo on the firewall as im not running the rear heat shield. Gearbox doesnt look like its going to be assembled untill next week, as the custom clutch parts havent been manufactured yet. ;)

look into the 34 getrag.. seriously. or a 33,32 gtr box in general..

from the brief moment i was under my car i'd say it would have to fit.

a custom bell housing maybe, drive shaft, and prop shaft and bobs your uncleeeeeee...

Must people seem to stick with the ball bearing cores when high-flowing, as some have the opinion that moving from ball bearing to bush bearing is a downgrade even if it is high-flowed.

I'd be interested to hear how you find the bush bearing though, just make sure you take good care of it and use a turbo timer or give it a few minutes to idle before turning the engine off etc.

Once I get the ecu remap out of the way and know they can tune the M35 I'll be sending a turbo off to GCG for a ball bearing high-flow. (can't wait!)

Not really necessary Stephen.

All you have to do is take it easy for the last block on the way to your destination.

Not only will it allow the turbo to cool down, but also the transmission, diff etc, which all need to cool as well.

You don't need to worry about the negatives that a TT brings.

Should be fine. If you see how the ball bearing units work you wont be as impressed, much the same as an old bike hub.

I would have gone with gcg if they had been more forward with information.

The car is back on the road after the tune. It managed 200 at the wheels at 14 psi, which is quite respectable I think.

The turbine housing still seems to be the limiting factor and is the hardest part to change so I think that will end the power gains for now. The injectors, pump and regulator would also need changing if any more fuel was required.

Im very happy with the Kewish Automotive rebuild on the gearbox. Shifting is quick and firm at all power levels without any clunking at all, highly recommended.

And I have some mates coming around tomorrow to help me fit the BC coilovers. Hopefully that will sort the handling out too.

Pretty sure Nissan have been using JATCO boxes in Skylines/Stageas since S3 R31's

Try the late 1960's - the 1969-built LHD 240Z had the 3N71A, the 3N71B/4N71B was used from 1970 through to 1988(ish) in a number of Japanese makes and then the RE401-series took over until the end of the RB. I'm sure the current model is a JATCO too!

PS good power Scott - considering flexible engine management is still a bit of a headache.

:rolleyes:

It managed 200 at the wheels at 14 psi

200 killa wasps at 14psi....good result considering I was at 17psi to get 199.99kw's!.......must be the intercooler and wheel size making the difference.

Are you using the standard boost controller or an aftermarket one?

3" FMIC piping = less pressure with higher flow

Congrats on powahhh, bloody respectable I'd say. Interested to hear your thoughts on the BC coilovers too.

Cheers, Dale

BC is not buddy club

they are different brand

although i was told that it's the same factroy (not 100% on this)

Buddclub dont have anything for the nm35's yet

ahhh got ya, i assumed buddy club :D

yeah a few brands steer clear of NM35s for some reason......

ASS | U | ME

(mainly because I assumed they were BuddyClub as well) :yes:

    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
    • I'm a bit confused by this post, so I'll address the bit I understand lol.  Use an air compressor and blow away the guide coat sanding residue. All the better if you have a moisture trap for your compressor. You'd want to do this a few times as you sand the area, you wouldn't for example sand the entire area till you think its perfect and then 'confirm' that is it by blowing away the guide coat residue.  Sand the area, blow away the guide coat residue, inspect the panel, back to sanding... rinse and repeat. 
    • The detail level is about right for the money they charge for the full kit... AU$21.00 each issue, 110 issues for a total of $2,300 (I mentioned $2.2K in the first post when the exchange rate was better). $20/week is doable... 😐
