hi all

in my previous post I had a question about the nm35 stage engine vq25det.

the quality and style of these cars is a big bonus as is the power from the engine.

however due to really liking manuals and the ease of modifying the rb25det neo 6 engine.

I have decided to buy a 25t RS Four.

modifications planned once I have vehicle are as follows.

Link G4 plug in ecu ---- everything I have read suggests they plug straight into s2 stagea

Upgraded turbo ---- unsure on what specific one yet.

Electronic boost controller

Inlet air temp sensor

upgraded turbo back exhaust

Return Flow FMIC

AFM delete pipe

the Link G4 ecu comes built in with a MAP sensor so I want to go down that track of getting rid of the AFM

at this stage I wont be after too much power future modifications if I get the itch for more power ill add a front facing plenum change intercooler and upgrade injectors and exhaust/turbo manifold

hope it all goes to plan with no hickups and I will be posting pics I tend to go snap happy

There are hi-flow rebuild options for the standard turbo which should give you enough headroom for a while.

If youre going to start from a stock car, then theres probably a lot of groundwork maintenance to be done in the suspension for example.

work at pedders so shouldn't be too hard or costly to sort suspension out

Hi Jarrod & welcome. Why not buy a clean 260RS straight up & be done with it? For a while at least. :yes:

Cheers GW

I agree, little disappointed I didn't go down this route and settled for a rsfour, when really I should have waited and bought the right car the first time. Now don't get me wrong I love my car but sometimes which I had the manual option.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
