Looks like a T2. Watch out for the rods in the VQs. Apparently they start to struggle at 500hp+. That seems to be one of the major issues people face with big hp VQs.

orly? Please tell me what you know?

The rods themselves aren't the issue so much as the rod bolts. They start to stretch once you get near that 400rwhp barrier. But a lot does depend on how hard you are spinning the motor. Apparently Nissan improved the rod bolts in the later model motors, but hey, the motor is apart why not upgrade??

The rods are actually thicker not just the bolts in the HR... the rods a puny and should be upgraded.

So what turbos are compatible with the HKS 3037 rear housing or would you need to upgrade both ? I havnt fitted mine but my engine is being machined this week ready to be full forged built for 600HP, 3037 only get 400-430 so any ideas for upgrade to get 500 ?

Yup. Get Scotty to make you up a new adaptor for the cross over/gate in t3 and get a gt3582 with 1.02 hosing in there

Any ideas on where to get best price for that ? Why adapter needed for the cross over gate? you cant get them in that size? Scotty what price u thinking of to adapt? Honestly u guys reckon 400-420 is not good enough? thats 2x what i got now..

It's all up to you mate! I'm quite happy with what I'm running on the stock block. You might as well strap on what comes with the kit, and just turn it up to max boost. A built motor will take it no worries. Get used to driving that. It's quite a big difference! Probably good to run the motor in with tha too.

The adaptor is a bespoke part of the kit. You'll need something made up to link the manifolds, pipe to the ext gate, and the turbine housing, in a bigger, more free flowing design. It's not an off the shelf part!

Honestly, with a gt3582 think it would be pretty scary! But I'm a massive pussy. I like going round corners too, not just planting it In a straight line.

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By thomasLait 路 Posted

      Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?

      So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL

      yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
