GDay

Im in the US at the moment and wanted to bring over a TT setup from GTM. After discussing with a guy who did this to his 370z, he advised not to do it, due to refabrication of pipes (a lot of work)

Ive heard that the g35s, 37s, have the same block as the R35 gtr, but with less displacement. So their internally strong. Probably why they are pushing out unreal HP with these TT kits on low boost with stock internals.

My question is can we use parts that come off the R35 such as the turbos, intercooler, piping etc?? There are so many ownes now pulling these things off in Aus, so wondering if any of us can utilise them.

Get me two!

And no, they are not internally strong as far as FI goes. You won't be making 700hp like a GTR.

Its a great NA motor, not a FI motor. But they can be made into one with a big wallet

What have you been smoking?

believe it or not Im not the only one on the planet that thought they had similarities.

Thread below ansers eveything and with plenty of pics and detail.

There strong enough when FI'ed. I cant be bothered to find out what 600rwHp is at the fly, but thats with stock internals. Im after around 450 - would like to keep stock exhaust and use the smallest turbos possible. According to that thread, the car still feels stock??? So it aint a pig. I'll be visting GTM within the 3 motnhs that Im over here to see if they do something for RHD.

Have a read of this thread below.

450 is attainable. But I doubt you would still be able to use the stock exhaust. Its all about how long you want the motor to last.

Have you considered Supercharging? HERE is a link to a Stillen supercharger for G37/370Z - 515hp at fly, 438hp at wheels - according to them.

Whatever you consider, turbo or otherwise, make sure it will fit 1) a auto car (guessing yours is), and 2) a RHD car 3) fuel that is available in Aust.

Other than that- go nuts :thumbsup:

Oh, and if its an auto, you'll need some work to the box to take the torque.

Wanting to keep the stock exhaust so it stays quite. My last wrx would literally shake the walls of our unit. Was never popular with my neighbours.

Ive always had turboed cars, celica gt4, soarer TT, R33 gtst, wrx, so Im biased towards turbo's, but I did have a look into the Stillen supercharger.

There's also a reason why the VQ35 motor has earned the title "glass bottom end" when it comes to FI. Tougher conrods are a must if you want any longevity.

wasn't aware of that. I went into a 350z site and had a little bit of a read and it didnt look like many of them were upgrading the rods?

They won't be making good power on the stock rods. It is a fairly cheap exercise for them as a set of Eagle rods starts at only $500, I don't know why they wouldn't upgrade.

^ Lucky Stagea drivers do... don't know what that makes me...:wacko:

Anyway, I just thought so should look into Supercharging a bit more, if you want to keep the stock exhaust. I think it would be tough to keep a stock one and still twin turbo it. That being said, what you are really after is not necessarily a stock exhaust, but one that doesn't produce more db than a stock.

I understand because atm I have a Honda tuning place up the valley from me... and I can hear the same car on the dyno for about 30mins now....:rant:

Mate I feel sorry for you......probably got a big ass canon and getting tuned for an extra 3kw.

Your right, I can do with an aftermarket exhaust, just as long as its not loud.

There are a lot (hell of a lot) of g35s and g37s here. Also the M series. Most are driven by families and I get no feeling of 'whoa a g' over here. Just Nissans version of the Camry or Commodore. But they are still a great car, even though they are common.

Those TT cars from GTM are suffering from heating issues. They cant seem to run for very long without high oil/ engine temps. Revzone in Melb has put one of these kits on a 370z. Its running some crazy numbers.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
