It was literally a 20 minute job :( It's been driving me bezerk!

I'm happy to not have you not pay me to not do it? Not? :D

If you want some tape I can probably hook you up. Either that or Con-Tact adhesive backed felt is good for this too.

only kidding mate. my car doesnt have many rattles.

if i hear anything i shouldnt, i just turn up the radio :D

hopefully got a buyer for my corolla so i dont have to sell my other cars due to the gfc!- quite happy as id sell my first born before i sold the stagea :D

anyone recommend a brissy local for a starter rebuild?

From what im told they cant be repaired as it is one of the copper coils that blows out (thats what happened to mine anyway) you will probably need to source a s/h one from a wreckers. I know they are the same as a VQ25, possibly VQ30. 3.5 has a different part number but may fit...

I have one here in need of repair if they happen to find the parts to fix yours...

3/4 of the way through fitting up my new motor with all my other bit's....hopefully tomorrow the motor and gearbox back in!

Nice intake mate... :D

You managed to keep the heat shield too. I bet its easier to work on the turbo out of the car...

sobering - i thought it mightve been an oil lubricated one and thats why it cooked.

sourcing one from wreckers isnt going to be easy around these parts , maybe down there, looks like my car is going to be bricking the driveway for weeks to come if thats the case.

what else other than an m35 has a vq25 though ?

thanks for the solid advice Scott

What bit can't be repaired? You have rewinders surely?
howd u do the diff ?

I got a bit carried away in the grass events at the local car show. I think I dumped the clutch too hard in reverse gear... :P

Gunna get it fixed in the new year. New diff, uni joint for the drive shafts, get the rear diff checked out, brass button clutch is a little noisy so that will get a look too.

I am keen to have an A1 drivetrain. Does anyone know if these cars will handle 8000RPM launches? :P

The J32 Maxima (2009) has a VQ25de I believe. Wouldn't think the starter would be any different to what we have.

I cleaned my Stagea last night! Filled it up with fuel. (full tank - $100 later FFS!)

Going to clean the interior and do a bit of a service soon!

She goes alright. Not as quick as a Turbo Datsun 1600 though :P But a hell of a lot quieter. :P

+1, VQ25dd, but as we know, its FWD... so may fit, maybe not?

Do they have a relay or something that could be kaput?

Good result and yeah, what turbo? (You need to get that 260RS out from under your name - its confusing!)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
