Over the coming year builing upto getting my full lisence I wall be slowly saving my pretty Pennies to do a full M35 stagea nose on a V35 skyline to make a MV35 stagline.

Engine, gearbox, body... Everything.

So i there you are parting with some OEM stagea parts let me know on this or PM me.

VQ25DET turbo and 5AT box

Looking for preferably white body parts.

If there is anything I should look out for in stageas also let me know

Would look pretty cool with a series 2 (PM35 - 2005+) front.

There are bonnets on Yahoo every now and then (make sure it is the right one), front bars are always on there and usually cheap and there are a number of HID headlights on there now that are cheap too. I don't know if the front quarter panels will just bolt on, but they'd be damn close.

Just make sure it is a 2005+ Stagea front :)

No staying RWD. I can either get a whole front cut which engine, tranny, panels and all for about 3k+ or buy individual..... Will deffo nead HiDs because I have them on the skyline now.

Would love the axis autech kit

Surely it would be better to just buy a half-cut? That way you don't have to search everywhere for silly little things like the wiring/relays you didn't get with the engine etc that hold up a build, and frustrate the hell out of you...

Has anyone built one of these before? Pics? Photochop? would love to see how the lines suit/don't suit... Just remembering that M35 with the R35 front: there were a few really awkward looking lines from some angles...

That said, I Like the M35 s2 front much better than most of the V35 fronts: looking forward to seeing the end result!

Reason I ask is the 2.5dd has the same ecu plug, cams and sensors as the 25det. It may make your job easier, especially if you can get e85 and some turbo parts to drop on your current engine. Is there an e85 servo near you?

That bottom pic is the face lift I did to my series 1.

Definitely looks much, much better except I didn't have the strip (and bracketing) that goes on the bonnet.

  • 1 month later...

Was going to buy a Toyota mark II and sell the skyline but I'm attached and it's a Toyota. So! The stagline project is going ahead with the commencement of my full liscence.

Just a couple of questions:

-My car being RWD and the VQ25DET and transmission being AWD will a NA VQ30/35 5 speed box bolt onto the VQ25DET?

-would it be cheaper buying a front cut with panels, engine, and all minus the box and buying that separate?

-is there any little niggles/faults/problems that arise that need to be addressed whilst the car is off the road?

I have a variation of those blinker covers on my Skyline, I think the top pic is the same as mine. I also believe that they are a factory option, can somebody with FAST please confirm.

You can also source them on Yahoo/IM.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
