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!)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
