yes, just waiting for parts. also cant decide what ecu to go with. the hr electric magnetic retarder exhaust vtc and 4 cam sensors seems to be abit of an issue. being a 2008 engine youd think that someone apart from motec has the software to run it propperly.

Heya T04,

I've helped a mate adapt a VH45 into a 33GTR utilising the std 4WD system with a 300ZX clutch/flywheel and a few other custom bits.

The project wasn't completed due to other priorities (we were finishing off the gearbox>engine cast adapter plate), but we think we had it nutted out. We don't know of any other 4WD VH45s around

Maybe we'll catch up some time for a chat?

Mark :)

yes, but not awd at this stage. dont have the cash to cut up a r34getrag to see if i can adapt it..

I decided a 33 gtr box was the best option, I picked one up for $300 with a transfer case so I will see how I go modifying it to suit the VQ35. Hopefully the VQ flywheel/pressure plate and the 33 gtr clutch will match well enough.

i had a perfectly good ppg 5 speed for that. but the 3.69:1 front diff ratio is the hurdle. if there was a 4.11 availabe id go awd straight of the bat.

yes they will. 240/250mm cluches are interchangable. so using a 300zed clutch you will be all good.

WELL heres an update.

got my twin carbon extreme clutch for a 370z with upgraded AP style concentric slave cylinder.

i was on the fense about putting a transaxle in it. ie like the v8 supercars. so i have been busy saving. (wasnt keen on the "$12,000" for complete axles either)

after many back and forth emails and questions i was ready to get an albins st6 transaxle. (after being quoted usd$46,000 for an EMCO gt46 transaxle(rolex series supplier)

and i have decided not to go the transaxle route. to expensive. would be a $40,000 exersise.

so i contacted hewland. the IGTC six speed with drop gears was a nice gearbox, magnesium casing, but with no available bellhousing it was a no go. (i dont like the idea of dodgy adapter plates etc etc.

so i have got a holinger 370z bellhousing, a m3 motorsports holinger 170mm spacer (to move the bulk rearward)and will be getting a nice modena engineering MV8S dry sumped 6 speed transmission. but it has a 1:1 6th. so i need a diff..

so i am in the process of instaling a ford mustang cobra 8,8" aluminium irs diff with a wavetrac lsd. $150 for a ratio change is not bad. with ratios from low 2's to 5+

i have to send my ecu back to the uk for an update to the closed loop air shifter semi auto option. (good thing about the ecu is because of its capabilities getting a fully auto air shifter connected is only going to cost 1500 bucks. as apposed to the 5k+ for a stand alone geartronics/shiftec unit. and its all in the 1 box for a super tidy wiring job

pics will be made soon i promise. just have to make room in the gararge to start modding :)

still got to make inlet manifold with garrett 750hp water to air intercooler built in (i have all the bits but havent welded them up yet.). and finalise exhaust manifolds to the twin EFR7163'S

build dump pipe once both manifolds are done. (sofar the header pipes are within 1cm of each other,should sound mad.)

it will hug the a/c compressor and go under the engine between the mount and x member.

many more pics to do and updates will happen more often. i plan on getting alot done over xmas. (pajero evolution has soaked up some time and money lately.

test fitted the engine again. i have about 1" max bonnet clearance. i will have to shorten the trumpets a little. i want to raise the engine abit so i fit a sump extension.

drivers side header is just on the inner guard. to be adjusted with hammer...

passenger side header fowled on the chassis rail.

rotated collector (nice having slip joints) and have to re-make no4 header pipe,

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
