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:

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
