Successfully fitted the Greddy Floating Valve BOV which completely eliminates compressor surge and engine shudder.

Also the ECU no longer hesitates and dumps fuel.

Had a bit of trouble fitting the adapter flange as Nissan put the BOV mount right in the internal corner of the intake and it hits the raised collar where the rubber joiner abuts to.

Both the straight and perpendicular adapters have the same problem so just cut out some to clear it.

Perpendicular adapter will not work with the VQ25DET- puts the vent in wrong position.

Well worth the experiment.

Hmm that one will face the recirc vent at 45 degress up or down off horizontal - not ideal

Also the orifice looks small..

Remember the Greddy FV is a 40mm valve- almost twice the diameter of the Turbosmart Kompact which is 22mm.

So you need an adapter with a 40mm orifice to make the most out of it.

My understanding now for shudder with the VQ25DET is most aftermarket BOVs will not release enough air to deal with the slow closing electronic throttle.

Different story if you have cable..

So a bigger valve orifice and more tunable BOV solves the problem.

Fit Apexi GT reserve tank tonight with mot ul MoCool. just like Greddy radiator breath tank, but Apexi one could store more coolant (could store over 600ml radiator)

It would be ideal if you could bleed coolant up from the rear bleed point into this header tank; then bleeding the system would be essentially automatic.

Even better would be another line leading away from the low point of the tank, to the bottom radiator hose and use it as a fully fledged swirl pot system.

correct! that's what Greddy radiator breath tank do.

but for mine, the Apexi one, the bottom return line is connecting with heater hose outlet (it should be same as bottom of radiator hose). there is only one line on top which is to stock radiator top with zero pressure radiator cap.

next stage is using T piece replace stock air bleed port on heater hose inlet (i ordered some tools but they are on the way). then make a line from stock air bleed port with radiator top line together. that would make air bleeding be automatic.

So i finally decided to fit the rear leather seats and tan interior. I found that included in what i bought was a ARX option for rear middle seat seatbelt (photos attached). So after a full day all is finally installed but the passenger side seatbelt that was missing. I will need to keep the dark grey until i source another.

Decided to drive to work Monday...

This is how i got home :P

lost hydraulic's in the clutch near work so i wasn't game to try and limp it home. No loss of fluid and the pedal would still return to the normal position... it was just the pressure point that went basically to the floor.

Have since had it checked by my mechanic who couldnt for the life of him replicate the issue. When i drove it the next day it was back to normal... My mechanic still gave everything the once over and adjusted a few things and so far zero issues.

Made me scratch my head tho...

Got a Innovate o2 sensor and looking at installing it onto my M35 and replacing the standard sensor with the simulated narrowband signal.

I've been under the car and the o2 sensor seems to be in an awkward spot. Is there a trick to remove them or do i need to take the dump pipe off

Brick managed to get a socket and extension on his whilst in situ; maybe pick his brains about this.

Here's how I got mine out: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459839-m35-dump-pipe-diy-install/

You can see the bung in the front pipe between the front flange and the flex which I will be using for my Innovate SCG-1.

Blitz front mount in today. Modified the supplied brackets and fitted slimline fan, like for the HDI kit so no cutting up the reo bar.

Bought from JustJAP?

Wont be long until someone comments on the orientation of the tranny cooler.....been there

Yeah, I see you had yours like mine but moved it sideways and into the guard. I thought airflow would be more important. Lots of conflicting views on orientation on the intergoogles. There was plenty of pressure when I last pumped out the old fluid so not too concerned about an airlock. You've got me worried I'm going to blow up my tranny now! :unsure:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
