Thanks to my new best friends at DBA, I have a new set of DBA 4000 Clubspec T3 brake rotors on their way, and thanks to Jethro I've got an idea of where to get some decent braided lines from. Combine all that with some HPX pads and some decent brake fluid, and it should be a pretty decent braking package without having to worry about getting calipers engineered.

Haven't ordered anything yet, but it's good to know that there are options..

Anyone put an alloy radiator in an m35 yet?

If the top tank is cracked you will definitely know about it. The Oring seals the whole underside of the top tank and usually only weeps when warm, sometimes it sprays out from one side.

yeah I looked at the one they had taken out, about a 4 inch split (hairline) just above where the tank mounts to the rest of it

As above, Iain and Craig have chinese radiators in.

I have a custom Race radiators item and Scott has a Mishimoto radiator.

If you are going an eBay special like Craig and Iain, make sure you get a G35/V35 radiator and not one for a Z33 (350z).

They are not the same.

yup the radiator cap is in the wrong spot for the intake vent that sits over the radiator.

if wherever you get it from specifies both Z33 and G35/V35 in the description, make sure its the right one.

craig had ours moved, and the mount points - the cheapo ones are good quality but the mount points may be off a little

So the Mishimoto radiators mount up quick and easy?

from what i have read and/or seen only the VQ25 radiators are the same, the VQ35 ones are wider, but putting them into a VQ25's spot is no biggie. trim away and it will be fine.

i used a hacksaw blade

Well, they do fit in place.... sorta

I brought it in initially, but could not get it to fit without cutting a ton of the support away.

I sold it and got my unit made up.

Still had to trim the radiator support to fit mine, but at least the fan shroud fits straight on and it is a very, very nice unit :)

Fan shroud does not fit back on the Mishi unit.

yes/no

scott had to shave abit of the fibreglass rad support.. IIRC

yes.... quite a bit

Yep I think Iain is right, not much is going to fit without a bit of trimming.

Might see if I can get a Koyo (http://www.frsport.com/Koyo-V2588-36MM-Aluminum-Racing-Radiator-Infiniti-G35-Coupe---Sedan_p_15744.html) for a reasonable price..

And of course a trans cooler as well, because plenty of them say "suit auto", but I'm guessing that just means they'll fit, because none of the photos show them with the trans cooler stuff on them.

350z radiators have the cap on the wrong side.

It will foul with your intake funnel into the airbox.

I am led to believe that the pins at the bottom of the tank that slip into the support holes are located a little too far forward or back (can't remember) on the 350z radiators.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
