Finally got my AMPerformance intake fitted, straight away noticed the extra flow.

Throttle more sensitive down low, less throttle needed to get the car rolling.

Haven't tested high rpm yet.

Thanks to Craig for fitting it, wasn't easy.

PITA to install. Money well earnt for Craig

Do you have a tunable ECU? I have a AM Performance Intake sitting in my garage and from what i have read they will max out injectors if it isn't tuned right. Will be interesting to see your results, what other mods have you done on your car

As most of you know, 7 weeks ago my car was stolen and written off. It has been a stressful and frustrating time, to have your car stolen from your driveway while your home is a felling I cannot describe.
I have tried to put it behind me and turn my negative into a positive, I tracked down another Stagea, while salvaging my old wreck. Got it through roadworthy and now it is registered in my name

It has been a roller coaster ride that I don't want anyone to have to go through. Now looking for the future

I do have an E-manage but not installed yet.

Also have fuel pump to install still.

Car has ATP high flow, 100 cell cat, Scottys dump and Legalis R straight through.

Goes pretty hard.

Once fuel pump is done I'll get it all checked on the dyno.

Way to go Luis with your new wagon. You're unstoppable

I had the am intake and did not max injectors. (Untuned). Its amazing what you car 'read'

Your not wrong there, but reading through the comments bellow

I would rather wait until I have a tuneable ecu before installing it, it's not worth the risk imo. The standard intake works fine for what I have now

Can anyone confirm if the V36 Y-pipe is a bolt-in affair with the rest of the PNM35 exhaust?

I doubt anything V36 is bolt on. The flanges on the Y pipe were supposed to be in the same spot, but they are not.

I have a set of V36 headers here, they would be a great upgrade over the stock log manifolds. Custom cat pipes are required though.

Bugger. Off to Yahoo Japan auctions then. I only need a Y-pipe at the moment, the outer wall on mine's rusted and the tinny rattling noise is driving me nuts.

I am not sure it would be accurate if you are basing it off my install.

The reason being that we first tested it on my PNM35 with V36 headers and aftermarket Z34 de-cat pipes which didn't marry up with the OEM V36 cat-back on my car. Then the V35 Berk HFC's were modified and made to fit.

I reckon that the V35 and V36 y-pipes would be interchangeable if using the OEM headers and cats. I did have the V36 y-pipe and exhaust on my PNM35 with OEM headers and V35/G35 Berk cats.

After the y-pipe? Can't be sure, but since the V36 y-pipe bolts up to PNM35 cats, I would be surprised if it didn't fit the rear section as well.

Do you have access to a cheap V36 y-pipe? If so, why not give it a go?

If not, you could just get a cheap stainless V35/G35 Y-pipe off ebay or maybe an OEM unit from a wrecker?

I don't have one, no. Unfortunately where I live I can find anything I want for my Commodore, but talk about V/M-series Nissans and everyone thinks you're some kind of weirdo.

I've found a V36 pipe in Hamilton (http://www.partsworld.co.nz/parts/nissan/skyline/3312_v36/67_engine+components/270111510) so I might send them an email and get some measurements. No doubt they'll charge a ludicrous amount for it.

Soo finally got scottys dump in, what a great bit of fab work, definately reccomended.

Changed the fuel pump/filter/oring in the hopes it would clear my lean code ( 0171 ) sadly it hasnt but still yet to run a constant supply, maybe that will do it.

And picked up a set of r34 gtt front brakes to keep me busy for the long weekend!

So not a cheap week for my stagea but damn it's good to drive now.

Got bad fuel so took it into work to have the mechanics drain it and also do a service cause I was feeling lazy.

A week later and many many $$$$ later the car has had the following done, some needed some preventative.

Found and fixed a small boost leak

2 front wheel bearings

Steering rack rebuild

New control arm bushes

New diff bushes

New sub frame bushes

Spark plugs

New compression rod bushes

Also found a faulty cool pack.

Plus a few other bits.

Now it is all done and wheel aligned just in time for double demerit points so it has been parked away for the weekend haha.

josh how much did they charge you for labour on all the bushing mate? Looking at getting all mine done to. Did you run with OEM ones or superpro or the like? Will feel amazing to drive now mate I bet.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
