The SAU forums are definitely a great resource on our cars, thanks to you guys. :thumbsup:

I've had the AFM fail on me once before, on the highway no less. The engine simply cranked out and wouldn't fire up again. I was under the impression the stock turbo had munched itself, and consequently the engine, but the guys at APC here in Brisbane correctly diagnosed it and fitted a new AFM at a good price.

This time round though, I think the reason for the engine misbehaving might have to do with the fact that there's a VQ35DE + stock M35 turbo lurking under the hood. Sorry, I should probably have mentioned that earlier.

The Meisters are from IM. They stick out a fair bit, so the fenders are in the process of getting pulled. I'm hoping the very slight variance in front and rear offsets won't upset the ATTESA system...

Small difference in offset should be OK. Was anything done about the ecu when the +T was done? e.g. ecu from turbo car? If not what are you planning - some kind of pigyback unit?

and when abouts had you planned on elaborating about this!

Glad to hear the offsets should be fine, thanks!

It's running on the stock M35 ECU atm, apparently the A/F ratios were spot on.

Been advised I'll need a Motec M800 to get the whole show going since the stock ECU won't play nice with the 35's variable valve timing.

I was driving around everywhere in gears 4 and 5 (Tiptronic), luckily the engine is tractable enough. Other than that there's not much to report, but if you have any q's just ask away biggrin.gif

This thread is useless without PICS! :stupid::) :)

Are you running the HR? I don't think there's much difference between my non HR hydraulic actuators and the coil actuated retarders on the VQ25det. They are both two wire coils you just need a way of changing the pulse to them.

You need at least some kind of management, how are you adjusting fuel? Emanage would probably do it but you really need standalone management like m800, ps2000, then the dramas will really start. :whistling:

Is the engine built? Fill us all in pleeaaasse. :yes:

I didn't bother taking engine bay pics. It looks almost stock. The only visual differences are some new piping, airbox out and pod filter in, and the intake manifold inlet pipe swapped sides (was on the left before, now it's on the right).

Might take pics if I get half a chance tomorrow.

The engine is internally stock. Is it true the VQ35DE has forged conrods and crank?

I think they are glass not forged. :)

How did you come across this setup? A stock VQ25 turbo is not a good idea on a 3.5L high compression high reving engine period. Imo it is most certainly a downgrade from the VQ25det unless you built it with forged pistons, H beam rods, lower compression and a much larger turbo.

A pic would tell me all I need to know about the engine model.

Just put my new R32 RDA slotted front disks and A1RM's in, now to bed them in. :devil:

you should bed the pads in on the old rotors i believe (or could be the other way round)

there is a thing about it in the diy/tutorial section

Mate....it's a pretty be claim....you would be the first to have a VQ35 in an NM35 in OZ......hence the reason you must post photo's(how hard is it to your phone out and take a shot??

btw......did you say the standard ECU is running it ATM? I can not see how that would work as although the 25 and 35 are from the same family they are still different in a couple of way's that would make me think that more than likely would not work!....e.g. How is the timing controlled at all?...different system's. And why the M800......Haltech PS2000 would be more than good enough at a quarter of the price.

Also you would have had to have the motor nearly apart to change the sump so why would you not have done new rod's and pistons so that it can handle more than 7 to 8psi without throwing a rod out the side one day? Unless of cause it's 2WD now? Or is the motor out of a PM35?

Anyway.....I need you to post up some more info/photo's on this as I am NOT believing you atm!

P.S. I await your photo's and comments so that you can flame mewhistling.gif

Yeah, use the old pads to bed the new discs, then throw the new pads in and bed them.

too late....his on the way over to see me atm!

I told him just get up to 50-60km's and apply a firm and static brake peddle....the redo about 5 - 10 time's....should be OK then! The guy that sold the bakes said the same thing!

Meh, don't matter, I've bedded new pads on new discs a bunch of times, never had any issues :whistling:

^^ I knew this too but at the time I changed all my pads and rotors there was no way I was in the mood to do it a second time to change pads later on!!

As for this vq35DE.....T?? I would love to see pics too you can't keep us on edge like this we need a fix!!!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
