What are you looking for? With a good flowing head there isnt much need for cams in our engine, especially with a 6500 redline.

That said, I think the 3.5de cams are similar, will they drop in? Probably but dont quote me. You can come here and try if you like, I have a spare of each engine.

The VQ30 doesnt have cam adjustment, the VQ35de has hydraulic adjustment called cvct and the VQ25 has evct. Not sure if the cams are the same though, perhaps the actuator mechanisms are different but they bolt to the cams the same way?

I still havent gotten around to fitting the 25det heads to the 3.5, not sure they fit yet. Do you know? Why not just use the de heads?

DE heads would be easier in your franken-engine, and easier to control with Engine management.

I'd say you'd have a lot of trouble getting the ECU to control 4 electronic cams, rather than two hydraulic ones. But its up to you. What car is it in?

How do you know the 25 heads will fit, have you done it yet?

We have already told you most of this info and you dont seem keen to elaborate on what you plan to do or why...

Jetwreck: More revs required to feed a bigger turbo...

Scotty: They will bolt together, yes.

How did you go with the 3.5 install? Was it all you hoped with the stock 2.5 turbo?

Bullshit. You dont need a 1200hp turbo, a GT35 will hit nearly 400kw, come on at 2500 if done right, and not have to rev past 7k. Revs over that are just wank and damaging your engine, not to mention costing you a fortune. What is your power goal anyway?

Like I said, you need advice but refuse to give us the information we require to help you properly. Dont just listen to your workshop, they dont know all as you have found out.

what are you doing with this car.

1. I am tracking and I don't need more than 300AWKW's and 6,800RPM

2. Scott is chasing HP and straight line because his gay and doesn't need more that 7,500rpm to crack an 11!

3. Your trying to achieve what?

you have so many issues that you will need to get past mate......don't want to see money thrown in the wrong direction.

There's not a whole lot in the way of aftermarket support for our platform. Some workshops I approached didn't have the balls to touch the Stagea. However, my current workshop has done some amazing work on the car, turning the seemingly impossible into reality.

Those two times I've made enquiries on here, that's just me doing some private research, exploring certain possibilities. My workshop will make it happen.

Did they explain to you that aftermarket camshafts will make the turbo spool later, moving the power band further up the rev range? Its only useful if you plan for well over 400kw imo and losing midrange sucks.

At the end of the day a built auto wont handle much beyond 300, do you have the coin for a Getrag conversion?

The stock manifold wont support that sort of power either so I guess you are looking at twins? You will have to ditch the Attessa which makes that much power useless for the street.

I also have doubts the 2.5 will fit on the 3.5 block without first modifying the head chamber as the pistons are much larger, besides the 3.5 heads will flow much more than the 2.5 ones ever will, you just hit the actuaton brick wall and without the cam actuation the engine is very lethargic (as you may have already found out.)

Quote: turning the seemingly impossible into reality.

So what is it they have done for you? I can understand you want to keep it to yourself as you would be paying through the nose for the workshop to learn the engine's characteristics, but it doesnt help the Stagea community to keep secrets now does it. After all, this forum IS the aftermarket support for this platform.

Please dont take this as a personal attack, I only want you to know the path you're choosing may be a long and costly one.

Yes we are aware aftermarket cams will do that, and we're looking for far more than 400kw, on a stroked 3.5 block, custom manifolds.

The 2.5 was fitted on the 3.5 block by a previous workshop. They gave up, job half-done (needed engine management and tuning). The car drove, albeit in limp mode.

It's not my intention to keep secrets. Far from it, I just dislike babbling about things that aren't finished. Once I'm confident everything works I'll be more than happy to share. Results > talk.

RWD I assume? Good luck with traction. :P

What are your plans with it? Full standalone ecu now with twins for that power I take it?

I still dont think you should be upping the revs though.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
