Im leaving on the 20th to get it done. So not yet!

Dale were do you.......do you get bored at work or something?

Not really, just thought your thread needed a cat with ripped abs.

But then I though of this! They must've been separated at birth?

Weird huh?

Que: "the final countdown" by Europe.

One week to go. Only four more working days to go. Then two weeks off.

Driving a mates NM35 on sunday to get me even more pumped and i can not wait so its my VQ25DET fix before i leave.

You could say im getting pretty pumped!

i just realised josh that your display pic has been taken in kotara in my neck of the woods! come to newcastle often?

Yeah mate I'm from there and all my family are still up there. Plus I head up to see friends every few weeks

Leave tomorrow. Will be in melb hopefully without hickups around 4-5ish.

This is it guys. Its happening. Updates will happen as often as i can.

Ill try and upload pictures but since im doing it off my phone it may or may not work.

If not pictures will happen when i get back.

Was the drag from the huffy slider too much?

Lol

Good to hear. Get with the updates. And if you feel a prickly beard on the back of your neck in the night; run like hell.

Na slider is at home. Didnt have room in the car.

Will keep that in mind thanks alex.

Let me just say, there are so many differences between the engines, chassis and ecu/loom that I am worried this will turn into a nightmare. I had no idea it would be this much work. Hopefully it all goes as planned but it will take some time, anyone know Kanji? :P

After pouring over the Kanji DD skyline wiring diags, and realising there is absolutely nothing similar with the ecu (other than the connector) or the Re4 transmission controls, and not being sure the 'can' system would even communicate, we came to the conclusion the det ecu won't work with the 4 speed, and the DD ecu won't drive standard injectors, (or Emanage) without extensive rewiring/modification. It seems to be a big can of worms, around 200 wires to reroute and no guarantees it will work. :/

I think the turbo would have fit, but required custom cooler piping, as the starter motor is 3 inches higher. Also tapping turbo feed and drain fittings into the RWD sump was needed, as the RE4 and RE5 bellhousings are different.

The engine mounts were 4 inches closer to the engine, meaning the turbo intake would need to be custom made.

The chassis was different, and the Stagea front subframe wouldn't bolt up. This would mean major chassis mods, cutting parts off the Stagea wreck and swapping them onto the Skyline to remedy. This would make the car defectable. Possible for a track car, but obviously not a road car.

Sad to say it, but it is just cheaper and easier to buy a Stagea Mark... You know you want one... ;)

Yeah sad to see it all goto crap but hey. Scotty has done a mad job fixing all the little bit a pieced that was wrong with the existing set up, cleaning out the plenum and intake today and brake cut mod.

I now have stagea aero bumper with no fogs, have stagea aero sides on the way and a few other bits.

Now that this didnt work i think its time to save for a Y34 cedric/gloria. VQ30DET

    • 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
