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.

Series 2......... f**kING f**k f**k f**kERS! (yes i own a NM35).There should be more of this between us :3some:

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)

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
