landed is different to landed and complied!

....5K on and NM35 is going to go a shit load faster and have greater economy than on a PNM true or false?

There will soon be a heavily modified NM35 from Mercury Motorsport smashing PNM35's like glass bottles against a wall!!!......mind you it would matter if you put that driveline in the NM or PM because other than the dash it would still be the same car.

BAM!!!!

lol @ your example and "BAM!"

Tell me which engine they stroked to make 4.15L...

Also, I meant landed and complied. Surely you read those Prestige emails, yes? They are the same ones I get ;)

That thing is huge!

4.2 stroker, GT62, hnnnnnnngggghhhhh! :woot:

It's come a long way since I saw it. Was buried so deep amongst other 'project' cars that I didn't think it'd see the light of day.

The Mercury car is a VQ35.

Only NM35 owners get their panties in a twist when Series 2 cars are mentioned. Nissan removed all the unreliable sucky bits like the attesa pump and the turbo...

Pulled apart and clean/decreased my r32 gtr front calipers getting ready for paint. A light sand on thursday and they will be ready for some black paint . Gunna keep the nissan badge on them silver as my car is silver. Was going to go with the red nissan wording but happy with the standard silver.

They used a vq35 and threw mega dollars at it because its a piss week motor. If they had brains they would have stuck a r35 motor or a Chev in it.

Yes I read the prestige emails....but I skip all the NA crap!

Loving you and Alex justifying the vq35. I agree it's a good motor but man there like broken bottles in a pub if the money's not spent. I mean what did Alex get....220rwkw's out of his with a 30/86...max on 98. From memory where is Scott at with his vq25 and the same turbo....even my pos capped it with a shit turbo setup. That should tell you straight away that Nissan went full ret ard taking the z33, v35 and pnm to the vq35de.

Off topic is off topic!!

I was actually looking at a different conversion from the norm for my vl a while back, and was thinking about the 4 litre out of the Navara then use the m32 manifolds etc to turbo it! (hopeing nissan kept everything interchangable like they do) that would make a very very nice torque engine

*Insert face palm smiley*

Aside from annoying (once the novelty wears off) is this sort of flutter potentially damaging for the turbo?

Last night after many hours of F n around managed to get the oil filter off, I don't know how hard the rb25 is but the rb26 is just rediculous, removed the batter and then the fuse box (pushed that forward to where the battery was) after getting that off I was happy to then attempt to change the oil. Also did the gear box oil (maybe had 2.5 litres in it) car shifts alot nicer now. now to do diffs and transfer case next.

Lol I had the same problem when I first got mine.their is an easy way to do it but its tight,all you need is the correct tools and to just undo the fuse box so it moves slightly and you can do it ill post up a photo of the tools tonight when I get home (if I remember)

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
