Vq35hr Conversion


Recommended Posts

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.

some more progress. tacked up passenger side header, re-made no 1 runner on drivers side to look abit more blended with the others. its quite hard to make all the pipes hug each other with fixed radius bends..

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,

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
