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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
