Yes its been awhile since ive been on here...

Turbo went pop the other week now all i have is a loud gushing whistle with no boost.

Im going to be getting the turbo pulled out and hi-flowed by hyper gear, when i get it back ill be throwing in 4 mods

FMIC - HDI GT2

Boost controller - Gizzmo IEBC

Tunable ECU - possibly Microtech

Coilovers - ???

Im in Hunter Valley NSW and im pretty limited to where I can take the car to get it fitted with ECU and Dyno'd I was thinking blacktrack in Thornton as they are the only ones i know of with a AWD dyno. They are a Microtech dealer so my question is has any one got a Microtech fitted to thier M35 yet? is it worth giving it ago? has it been failed already? any input would be greatly appreciated

Cheers guys.

Good luck with that one, as far as I know only the Emanage Ultimate or HKS Fcon Vpro have been successfully fitted and both of those options took a fair amount of R+D. Do they have the ecu pinouts yet? What do they plan to do with the electronic throttle and cams?

Hey mate,

Yeah i havn't even looked into it that far yet Ive sent them an email asking what they could recomend and ill see what comes back I guess.

Yeah i was the first S1 to be fitted by Cihan back in the day with Greddy Emanage Ultimate (1 small step for SAU Kind lol) and i would prefer he did this car too but as i am in NSW and he is in Melbourne im in a bit of a pickle and have to look at other options i guess. I did send Cihan an email but have not since heard back from him, Maybe he is a little flat out.

I'm willing to guiny pig the ricewagon but yeah i need more information whats the issues you mentioned before about "Do they have the ecu pinouts yet? What do they plan to do with the electronic throttle and cams"

If they use the P1ggyback version it may work but why can't they use the Emanage Ultimate? Microtech don't have a good name on here from the research I did. Common: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/385885-microtech-tuning/page__p__6155745__hl__microtech__fromsearch__1#entry6155745

You have a few options I guess:

Drive down like Craig did, I can install the Emanage and drop one of my tunes on to get you to Campbelfield where Cihan's dyno is located. (Yes, he is very busy atm)

Ask Craig nicely to wire an Emanage in for you, then get Jez to tune it on the central coast, he has tuned Craigs once so may be able to sort you out.

Ask Blacktrack to install something, can't help you there but I hope they know what they are doing. Do Microtech even have a base map for you to work off? OEM Crank triggering would be required at a minimum.

Maybe itll be easier to get the turbo swapped over and other goodies fitted drive it down to melbourne for a weekend and get e-manage installed and dyno'd.

Mate if possible can you pm me with what i need to order for the emanage ultimate (harness etc) also a price to fit it. I was planning to pack and send the car to WA where im moving in 4 weeks but i guess ill just drive it once its installed and sorted. what a way to take it for a test drive ey?

Cheers mate and thank you.

not sure about the dump yet just need to get it running first lol... and im running out of time before i leave. But once i get started there wont be any thing holding me back. I just need a good base to start from. and then ill tinker a bit more. are you willing to sell your old stock turbo housing at all? that way i can get that sent to hyper gear and get it rebuilt and sent up here and swapped out with my old one and ill put my old one up on here for sale as a donar.

Sorry haven't had seen scotty's dump in use yet! Maybe Aaron might know lol!!!!!!

But yeah, m35's need a good dump......... ;)

lol.

The BC's are definitely worth the $1200 or whatever you pay. I got the cheaper red ones and others have the gold version, mine have been great and reliable for over 3 years.

The turbo I have here is still perfect so you could imagine I don't want to wreck it. I find it useful for jigging pipes etc also. There has been a bit of interest in turbo swaps though, perhaps I should lend them to Stao, or at least do it for my customers. Surely there are still a few failed housings floating about...

You go near Sydney. Just had my turbo done at precision turbos. Ss1pu. I'm thinking of doing the drive down aswell for tune.

Are you sure it wasn't a Sierra Stage 1?

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
