so it appears my turbo is stuffed and am now looking for a replacement,but i hear alot of people talking about hi flowing them instead of replacing

im not really up on the how to of this sort of thing, is it something your local mechanic can do or is it a specialist turbo shop job.

just wanting to know because where i am i dont know of too many places that are "specialist turbo" shops

my mech does deal with turbos but i have not thought about this option untill today. Also i need the car back on the road asap (cant have child seats in the mitsu express work van lol).

cheers fo any info and sorry about the long winded explanation.

yeah sorry m35 and in nsw port macquarie

The best and cheapest option is to do a rebuild.....depends what type of a rebuild but they range from $900 - $1,250 for a Sierra S1 or simular.

Your mechanic should not be charging anymore that $600-$900 for this job if he knows his stuff.

I know it's OT, but you are the 2nd M35 owner in Port that I know of - you have enough for a Stagea cruise now....

Ask Sau-user Hypergear Turbochargers for a quote to hiflow your shagged turbo. Taking off turbo, postage, turbo rebuild, return & reinstall will take a few weeks.

^ Agree, but talk with him regarding what internals he'll be using for the rebuild.

I know that last time I organised one through him, he wanted to put a 3076 sized code in there. Would be lag city.

Of course it will be laggy if you don't tune for it, even my stage 1 sierra was laggy until the emanage went in.

Stao, the oil line you supplied was way too long on the last highflow I fitted of yours, there is a better way to run it too using banjo's both ends. Pm me if you want.

That was for rb25, m35 turbo high flow profile is different, won't be laggy at all.

Your turbo feels the same as a Sierra Stage 1 one setup!.....to say that it wont be laggy at all is wrong!....and yes I have driven yours and numerous other setups.

If you are in Port then you could try Bredan Julius in Kempsey who are tuners and know more than most about turbos and especially Nissans.

Do they have experience with M35's though? I wouldn't recommend anyone that hasn't done one before, they can be very difficult the first time you work on them and the customer ends up paying for their learning curve. Even properly bleeding the cooling system leaves many mechanics scratching their heads.

These guys are way beyond general machanics they usually only do race cars or enthusiest cars... they dont do water pumps and tie rod ends they fit after market computers and tune high powered machines and generally fix the probelms other machanics scratch their head at. Father and son team with more knowlege than anyone you will ever meet.

I put the website there to give an idea, as understated as it is. If you where rocking up with a Falcon I would not suggest them but given it is a Stagea and a Nissan they may help you out... I bought my Stagea from them.

If you go... ask Brendon to take you for a run in the R33 with the Infinity V8... I havn't seen it since before he got it going but hear it's a weapon.

Cheers for the info the car isn't really driveable to get it there not far I know but it's not much good to be in at the moment if I my mech has any trouble I might give them a call and see what we can do but cheers for the info on them

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
