Hey,

I love the m35 stagea. The body style is awesome but I feel the issues with the engine and low turbo life is letting it down. This is where I come to my next question. If later on down the track I was to put a 2jz (personsal favourite) would I still use the m35 ecu to run the cars features minus engine and gearbox control. would I run into any limp mode issues or will that be over as I would have you use a throttle cable. I am after answers not to be critisied guys. I know there are alot of guys who like the engine in the stageas and im not going to say anything. This is just a personal interest for myself.

Cheers josh

Sorry Josh.......you lost me on this.....while the 2JZ is a great motor it's "-" factor is huge compared to something like a VQ platform.

I am sure there are a couple of guy's on here that will tell you the first thing that even the VQ25 does better is torque....then there's the weight of the cast Iron block....ect!!!!....we have only just started to play with this motor and we are up to 300AWKW's /1100nm's.....and remember we are still on the standard turbo housings with that!..........I wonder what that would be in 2WD land!....not to mention then going to a VQ35!

If you don't like VQ's you can alway's go to the Nissan V8's or even a Gen III!

Tractor cast iron straight line six's are a thing of the past!....If you want to get this thing to hunt in the 11's it needs to go on a major diet and be Manual

Has someone kidnapped you profile from a Toyota site????? :P

the obvious question would be 'why would you', and in the next breath i'd say 'doesn't matter - you won't'. :ph34r:

but in all seriousness, you would probably have better luck and better results privately importing one of these.

Well despite the issues others have mentioned, will it even physically fit? Isn't the 2JZ an inline 6, whereas the VQ25 is a V6, which would make it shorter?

And if you're using a 2JZ + Manual trans with aftermarket engine management and a cable throttle, I don't see why you'd have any issues with limp mode or anything. I don't know if you can use the M35 computer to just run accessories, windows, etc and use the aftermarket stuff for engine and trans?

For all the headaches you'd have, I think you'd be far better off with a VQ35 and a turbo, maybe HKS kit like someone on here has (but hasn't fitted because he's slack and gone to Japan... :whistling: )

can I ask what benefit you believe you'll get from doing this?

It's different......but then again so is the Stagea.....I guess it's a matter of how unique you want to go! IMO it's taking a 2000+ model car back to the 90's.

lol nah seriously

there is also the whole legal side of it, engineering the engine. IF someone will actually do it its definitely going to cost more than its worth

I am not normally a Toyota fan, but the blue Crown Wagon is, to me, seriously HOT.

It seems to have an S1 front with a not too sloped rear I find the 35's too Volvo.

Look up on Google for this wagon and you will find some great pics.

Now going to wash my mouth out. (With a VB) LOL :cheers:.

Maybe you should've had that in bold lol

You will run into issues, no doubt. Anything can fit with enough money thrown at it, but putting a 2j in an M35 would seriously screw the excellent weight distribution among other things.

You may have a little trouble controlling the variable valve without the stock ECU I would think (again, depending on which ECU you used)

The amount of cash it would cost to put a 2j + trans (+ AWD?), you could probably buy a Crown Estate OR built up the M35's engine and trans for some pretty serious power.

Seriously, if you want a 2j that bad, sell your M35 and get a Crown Estate.

      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

      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.
