We will never see them if they are on Craig's phone! ... Lol

Just saw a dissembled VQ35DE that was starting to become a VQ35DET!

Looking promising.

Looks like plenty of lag in this thread!!! Hurry up and get it done i want a drive!!

[Daleo]

Well, I drilled holes in one of the manifolds last night; so it may never run again...

Hope everything went smoothly today, and that Craig didn't have a protein shake for brekky; too much powaaaahhhh!

[PN-Mad]

Finished for today. We're both stuffed.Manifolds on, crossover pipe , heat shield on. Turbo on and tight. Intake on. O2 sensors on and heat proofing in lots of places. Oil and water feeds to turbo done, have to do returns. Need to fabricate turbo outlet piping, and exhaust from where the gate goes in needs to be extended. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm not exhausted!

Big thanks to Craig for putting in the lions share of work, and Dale for fixing up a boo boo last night, even at a BBQ! Both legends, and can't thank you guys enough.

On a note, never put your hand up to change v35/350z headers, not in a million years!

I have one sentence.

"I wery sore.....lots of cuts and bruisers"

Yahhhbin!!!!!!

[PN-Mad]

When attempting difficult jobs, its important to be precise and organised....

Trial fit

Is it getting heavy yet? I'll just take moar pics....

The Manifold- couldn't fit a fart up there its so tight...

Ready for a manifold on the drivers side- Except this one has a bit of Daleo Magic in it!

Craigs fav. work-zone: Turbo, gate, washers and beer

Looking a bit bare...

What turbo officer...?

That ends it for now.

lolz.........we not only have 1 hoist.....we have 2 at Stagea Garage!

Bah! Weak!!

Or perhaps I am a touch jealous of not having to lie under the car holding the exhaust in one hand whilst doing up nuts with the other....

[slippylotion]

Does that mean then you could remover the turbo from an NM35 without engine out? Is it possible if its turbo and manifold in one?

[iamhe77]

Scott removes NM35 turbo's without a hoist or removing the engine quite often.

You won't be able to remove the turbo and manifold as one. The turbo will need to come out, then the manifold

Nice! He should do a small write up on how to tackle it. I was hoping this would be do able when it comes time to do mine.

[zei20l]

im free next weekend to help where needed

yes it does....every turbo I have done has been with the motor in the car. However I did my turbo while the motor was out and it was so much easier.......I am actually going to trial just removing the Crossmember this weekend coming on a NM35......his got the same turbo as me so it's a little more fiddly so I probably wont get it done is 2 hours like Scott can apparently do!....I estimate about 10 hours!
