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

Bought this too fix my turbo flutter issue...................................... tsutsutsutsu :verymad:

*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)

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
