Could have been cheaper if you made a few of those gearbox parts, especially the bell housing. I would have bought one but I guess you would have needed the stock one to hack up?

Cable throttle?

What are you doing about engine management?

Scotty, what was your issue with tuning the cams? Wouldn't work, or wouldn't work with Emanage/Vmanage/etc? Would you get around this by running a PS2000 or something else?

Hey dcdc you should start a thread about your car and the mods complete with pics, no one is going to think you're a wanker considering the amount of work it appears you have done already.

Hi dcdc.

Richzx is right. We would love to see a thread about your plans for the car, what you have achieved so far, and fabrication. We are a Community here that love the Stagea. Doesn't matter what form it takes, we love them all. You have no doubt garnered info from here to make your plans, and we have tried to help you along the way. The community is only as strong as its members. I think this site, along with another Stagea site, is the premier place for info over the whole net. I'm sure the Russians have something similar, but put you hand up if you speak Russian.....

I personally Doff my Hat to you. I think its a crazy insane great project. If its a spectacular failure, which none of us hope it is, then so be it- you tried, and thats what counts. Plenty of people spin loads of shit on the site; but pics, plans and set backs all make for great reading along the way (just have a look at some of the threads in the builds section). None of us will judge you for that. We all change our minds about our cars very regularly! I think you have taken some of us by surprise about the magnitude of your build.

Hope to see a build thread and some more pics and plans soon.

I Just have to dig up this 'old' thread (well nearly 1 year old), but I'm keen on seeing some progress and/or some initial photos of progress up to the above photo of fitting the R34 box.

How easy is the R34 GTR box to fit upto a VQ series motor. Aside from the cut and shut bell housing?

Without having one in front of me, can't you use the 6 speed from the V35/350Z and attach the transfer case to it for less (or perhaps more?) fabrication but AWD action?

It sounds like Aftermarket Engine Management on these cars is a pain in the ar$e. There was mention about the ECU controlling the dash/heater/elec windows/abs/etc. via the ECU CAN system. I'm pretty sure MoTeC make a CAN based system for control. Could this be adapted to replace the Nissan ECU? It's bloody expensive (I think $2k just for the module and then there is the wiring costs on top of that)

Except the M35 CAN system in an orphan too.

RWD, go the z33 box, but for awd, the r33 gtr box is now the go. A company in the US has made a gearbox adapter for VQ to RB box.

A Link G4 will run the show with either the auto or manual, just that no-one has done it yet.

What you see in the picture is a 34 getrag shifter with custom shift linkage and a modified transmission tunnel. And a clutch pedal, but you saw that one. tongue.gif

Hey someone else had the common sense to put a manual in there NM35.... A friend told me about a a NM35 at a workshop on Newmarket rd with a R34 6 speed and a VQ stroker.... Would that be yours?????

There's a huge amount of money invested in that build; the amount of fabrication is enormous.

Do some calcs at $120-$160ph for their kind of pricing.

I still don't quite see how they were planning on fitting a cooling system in with the size of the turbo in that engine bay.

Boot mounted radiator. All the cool off roaders are doing it

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
