6-speed never came in AWD and doesn't appear to bolt up to the RE5 transfer case thus the thought that you'd have to go RWD if you stay with the 6 speed.

Either way, interested to see which way you go Darren. Best of luck :)

Why can't I keep the VQ25det AWD sump? Do I have to change it to a RWD sump?

The starter doesn't line up as it's about 15mm out. The crank sensor mount is correct at least, unlike the pathfinder. The VQ30det sump won't work either, you need the VQ35de sump from the 350z or V35 if using the 6 speed.

Where is the link to the adapters? I wonder if that would allow bolting up the 33gtr box I have here...

Heres a link to a Vq35 to Rb20 box.....is the VQ25 the same as a VQ35?

They have listring for Rb25 boxes as well......but should be no difference....R33 GTR should be same

Ok AWD to RWD sump is clear now...Thanks

I was planning to run RWD if I go the VQ25det....the speedo it a pain thou with 350/V35 box.

The speed signal is taken from the abs computer from the wheel sensors in the m35, you will have to do the old magnet on the tailshaft trick and use a Jaycar speedo adjuster for the pulses or similar.

I will check out the links, thanks mate. :)

I was starting to think a Y33 VQ30det would be a easier swap being RWD, Nistune avaiable for the ECU, etc.

Have spoken with Nistune and they are looking into a M35 Nistune version....long way off yet thuo, only early days

I am no rush, engine is the last mod needed on the next build....bodywork is the priority. C34 donor car is already teaked with highflow and heap of other extras.

The M35 can sit in the corner until I decide to use it....

bahhahahahahahahahahaa

Don't hold your breath.

That is all. The ECU is a orphan.

I really love your idea with the car mate - and the can do attitude. I hope it becomes reality and something pretty cool.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
