Does a face lifted Series 1 count? ;)

Feeling alone? :D Welcome to my world 3 years ago lol

Don't think you will get the answer you are after mate, but at least there is a heap of info floating around for your engine and I am sure that there are a few of us here that are familiar with the VQ35de and the AWD drivetrain which is the same as the series 1

A HKS turbocharger or supercharger kit and the supporting mods is the answer to all your problems, Alex!

World Peace- nah, just twin turbos! And shhhh.... Don't tell anybody but I think "supercharger" is a dirty word around here :down:

I'm picking up really mixed messages about intakes from different places (whats new eh?) Agreed a Plenum spacer is a worthwhile addition, but I really want some good advice on the benefit of a CAI, pod or other set up before I jump in there. Options are:

1) get a high quality Panel filter in the stock airbox, and change the tube to a Z-Tube

2) get a kit that retains an airbox, but puts a pod in place, + a z tube or

3) a Nismo R tune kit

What are the recommendations, sometimes there is just TOO MANY choices!!!

If you are sticking with N/A.... go #3. It really is an awesome bit of kit :yes:

Or, you can buy the spare manifold off me, buy Andy's spare turbo and highflow it, fit an Emanage and youre away. :woot:

So you will make an intake pipe to go with it? Might need an intercooler with piping, BOV and stronger valve springs too

Scotty, I'm beginning to think you just want some competition on the VQ35 front! Sorry, but its going to stay NA for now. Might even get the most powerful NA Stagea in Aust! :happy: (and the only one who has bothered tuning it! :P )

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
