I am now really considering the GTM HKS version Stage 3 supercharger....which should get me an additional increase in HP between 100 to 140 RWKW and put it closer to 260 to 280 RWKW.

If I can get the totally install at 8K I would be happy.....I am being to slowly work on the price....and remember the HKS superchager will only increase RWKW by 60 to 70 HP.

Should be interesting to see it all installed as it certainly isn't a kit. Are you a fabricator?

The best bet would be the HKS 3037 kit if you can still find one. Or here is the Greddy twin kit: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GReddy-Tuner-Twin-Turbo-Kit-Nissan-350Z-VQ35DE-TD06-20G-/200604249034?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb4f1ebca#ht_5005wt_905

You will need to build the engine with forged parts to run more than 5 or 6 psi safely though.

Id go for the HKS supercharger kit as below

http://www.nengun.co...gt-supercharger

or the greddy japan twin turbo kit ( im not 100% but i think greddy USA also makes one which isnt exactly the same? )

The main point with the japanese kits is that firstly.. there wont be fitment issues from these brands, it will be like OEM. Secondly there wont be reliability issues from these ones.. they will again be like OEM. Sure the USA kits always give more power, but they dont offer the same reliability and fitment that the jap kits can. Especially in regards to fitment issues due to difference between left and right hand drive models.

Price wise the supercharger will be alot cheaper in regards to initial install as you arent paying for new exhaust components etc. and i would imagine require less work to get them fitted. The complete kit with engine management can be had for around $6500 which leaves you with $1500 for install. Probs better off with the pro kit though which is $1000 cheaper as it doesnt include extra injector ( which is fine but not great ) or ECU which your better off getting something that local tuners use.

With the SC kit am i still going to have to build the engine with forged parts or can i get away with stock to start with?

Kudos still have one 3037 kit left.

There are a few of us installing it so may as well get the same one so you have more support in getting it on!

I have just invested some $$ in getting a jap to english conversion of the manual done. Isnt perfect english but better than most chinese english instructions !

Well the HKS kit for example is a ready to go bolt on kit with no other requirements if it is run as provided. They only run relatively low boost so they will be fine with stock internals and compression. Obviousley once you start increasing boost you will need to upgrade the rest of the engine to cope better with it. It might be a good idea, at the very least though, to check the tune and A/F ratios etc on a dyno once the install has been done if you buy the complete kit or possibly even get it re-tuned. Its probably tuned for local conditions so things may vary with our fuel, temps etc. over here as well as any other mods you may have so better safe than sorry. Also might be worth a re-tune which should give a bit more power because being a bolt on kit, just like OEM engine management, it will have been tuned with some margin for error since each engine is never identical.

A shift kit for the auto is easy enough if you have the RE5, mine is handling tripple the stock torque. There are a few places I could recommend in Melbourne but I don't know of any up in new south sorry.

How would i find out if i have the RE5? and also what is the RE5 lol (feel like a total noob :P im guesing it is the gearbox)

Its the 5 speed auto most of us have. There are a few valve body kits floating around for them but most good automatics places will have worked on them and made their own parts (for Nissan Patrol rock crawlers.)

GTM Motorsports sales them.....and many in the states have used them too

Yep, I have the Transgo one fitted, upgrading the valve body. I also had major slippage so the clutches were upgraded with a full rebuild and high stall converter. It was the first one they had done like it, they had to laser cut the thinner steel plates to fit a few more clutch plates in. It cost $4000 all up around 2 years ago. Now you can probably get it done for half that.

It should handle a fair bit but I am aiming at 350-400awkw through it at perhaps 1400nm and no-one can tell me if it will let go. There aren't that many performance parts out there yet for the RE5 but they are coming.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
