Beware of the odometer in import cars, in general take them with a pinch of salt.

Look at how worn the drivers seat, brake discs, etc instead.

Brake Discs on the earlier models (up to 2005 when they got the bigger front setup) not so much. In America on their G35's they were doing replacement discs/pads as low as 19000miles (approx 30000km's) or even 13000miles (20000km's). There was talk of class action against infinity not sure it actually happened though.

Hi Nas

Don't be so keen to swap to the 5spd gearbox, you'll find that it's a far cry from the luxury feel of the gt8 cvt.

Take this from somebody who have own(ed) both of them ;)

You do have to take care and make sure you have the tranny fluid changed properly ie, correct fluid, every say 80-100k

I did not trust that my GT8 had done 40+k when i bought it so i bit the bullet and got the tranny fluid changed to be safe.

IRev in Bayswater is very experienced with v35 and they have the scan tool. They got the tranny oil at the best price for me.

hey man nah i would never change to a five speed that was just a suggestion by another enthusiast...

i looked at all the things you mentioned when i bought the car to confirm the kms and also ive been selling used cars for many years now so i have a keen eye for that sort of thing hehe

thanksfor telling me about iRev coz i couldnt be buggered taking it to a nissan dealer to plug it into Consult 3 (i think thats the scan tool used for v35, maxima, 350z etc.)

i'll give them a buzz and get it down there when they have time

cheers

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
