Hey Guys

Just wondering if anyone knows a few places that work on stageas m35 2002

Contacted mark from hills motorsport they can get ti done just a big chunk of money to be throwing around

the turbo is on its way out and the tranny is funny when towing

Wish some one told me 3 years ago that if you are going to tow with it then fit a bigger trans cooler

Anyways any info would be great thanks

Take it to jet wreck ...I'm sure he will reply soon.

I don't know if hills Motorsport have changed owners.. But a good 6 years ago they were rubbish.

Don't know what you were quoted or what your box needs.. But a service at JAX, flush and new oil with me providing the oil was $130

yeah i messaged him to give me a buzz thanks

And hills said $1850 for turbo + $650 for fitting

$2295 for rebuilt transmission and $560 for trans cooler

Its a big chunk of cash but

I guess if i keep the car for another 5-6 years prob ok

Ok this is where confusion has set in !!!

Turbo should onky cost at max 1250 for your current one to be high flowed and rebuilt. Jetwreck had mine done by Precision Turbo for a Sierra stage one. They can do a pretty much one day turn around. Alternativly you can send it down south to to hypergear who charge 850 for the service but have a 1-2 week turn around.

Jetwreck is the man for doing the change over also. These are one of those cars that if they haven't done it before don't take it to them.

Should be able to get a decent trans cooler for $150. With the C34 its easy enough to get a known good auto box for about $300 (they are just dumped over here) from someone converting to manual but don't know how easy it is to find an M35 trans although there are one or two doing a manual conversion in Aus....but a rebuild might be good if you're going to keep it for at least another 5 years!

Depending on how much mods you have in mind. For some thing that that is stock replacement we charge $880 to high flow and that is responsive and works just like a stock turbocharger with bit more torque.

We can also high flow them to our SS-2 billet specifications with an larger 38mm internal gate. The SS service cost $1150 to carry out.

Turn around time is generally 3 working days plus the postage and shipping period on top. It will be lot quicker if you are based in Melbourne.

PM M35scotty for metal induction pipe and dump pipe if you are chasing performance.

Some results to share:

lol.....I LUV Mexican dyno's!!!

As Stao has said....Melbourne based see Scott for the change and Hypergear for the turbo.

Sydney.....contact me first and ask my opinion then its your call. See Precision for the turbo.

Talk to you later on your gearbox Aleks....

They are readings from the same car on two different dynos one on P98 and one on E85. Both of them are accurate and many can prove that.

As for OP, We've been working on M35 turbochargers for many years with different combinations trailed. You now of aware our time frame and costs as well as our options and results foreseeable for your decision.

yup....the dyno's tell the truth Stao!!!...and I know the car and the dyno's used!

Don't we use them as a tuning device anyway?

Happy dyno....happy customers! Sad Dyno sad customer!

I'm not getting into Dyno arguments with you....i've given you a plug as I know you do a good build and you give a shit! nuf said!!!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
