Hi ladies and Gents,

I am looking for a keen fabricator that wants to showcase his skills in a pretty rare opurtunity to make a 350GT / 350Z turbo kit, there is not much involved and there is none in Austrlaia,

I am familiar with mechanical engineering and have a few options in mind (i have done my homework)

I own the car so thats not an issue

I just need someone with nice welding skills that is willing to showcase some of his work in a first australian kit,

Cantact me if you are interested

I already have a kit, currently on my Stagea, but I am willing to sell it as the auto can't handle what I would like to throw at it. 400kw capable GTX3076, 1.06 Tial rear, 45mm external gate.

What are your power requirements and where are you located? I can custom make kits (if the car is here) I can also supply turbo manifolds separately if you require them...

there is not much involved and there is none in Austrlaia,

There is more involved in a turbo kit than you think, as there is bugger all space to work with.

Perhaps Dale.

I don't work well with mechanical engineering types for some reason, they usually have no idea how to make things in the real world and underestimate costs, fabrication time and demand for the product, which might be the case here. There is absolutely no point fabricating manifolds when Nissan already made some, as HKS found.

I suggest you stick the turbo in the boot ff_Driftz, much more room there... :P

What are you talking about Scotty, He said " there is not much involved and there is none in Austrlaia"?

I'd like to know more about this mythical land named "Austrlaia" where the inhabitants have no access to 350GT/350Z turbo kits, it sounds like a terrible place.

But that's just me.

would it not be cheaper & easier to just buy an entire kit?

they even cater for RHS drive vehicles, cast manifolds too.. no cracking!

Cheaper? No way, I could fabricate a kit for less using factory VQ25det manifolds. I did notice there was 1 HKS kit in stock though...

Easier? I doubt it, most twin setups or kits that put the turbo in the stock airbox position will just get you defected. There is no point doing any of the above until the engine is built anyway.

Gents,

I am not asking anyone to work for free,

it always suprises me that there is negative people out there who should welcome new ideas for everyones benefit including their own,

if i wanted just a turbo kit i could fabricate one myself in one day without a problem, I want to put together something new with VGT turbos etc etc

that a person with very limited hands on skills can fit, I can design, I can weld, I can machine etc but in saying that - am i an expert welder/tuner etc?

the answer is no there is individuals on here that are and i invite those individuals to come forward and showcase their skills with a turbo kit that i will help design (that is my Job and i am an expert in mechanical design that is what i do every day, 3D modeling, FEA and so on)

PS: when i say there is none in Australia, I have done my home work, and if any of you think there is - i chalange you to find me a kit that uses VGT turbos in an efective manner with little mods on a 350/V35.

So you want a variable geometry turbo on 3500cc car? Is this a purely design project?

Point is, you want to turbo a v35 there are good kits out there that will do the job and no be laggy.

If you want to make a design project, then choose a car with better packaging options like an inline motor that can take more than 10psi of boost.

1. Yes

2. Not the type i want there is not, if you can find me a kit with VGT i am happy to consider it

3. You should ask yourself what limits an internal combustion piston engines pressure capability?

All in all I ask for a Fabricator if you are not interested please do not post

In my opinion a variable geometry turbo kit is unnecessary due to the large displacement of your engine, the VQ35 will spin up a massive turbo very early in the rev range and allow more flow than the stock motor could ever ingest.

Check out the new BW range, early spool from the Ti wheel and flow like nothing else for their size. No other moving parts to fail and free flowing large split housings to lower manifold pressure and heat. Unfortunately they won't fit in the confines of the V35 engine bay.

1. Yes

Pull your head in mate. I'm interested in trying to find a solution to your pipe dream. Your talking with Scotty, who if there isn't something he doesn't know about vq turbos, it's not worth knowing, and I myself have done a VQ35 turbo into an awd stagea.

The turbo is only a small part of an overall kit, so why not consider using the pipe work and other parts. What turbo are you intending to put on it? Single or twins? Gt30, 35, 42? Re you going to buy an off the shelf item, or modify it yourself? That constricts the location and packaging.

Are you building a motor? The stock vq35 has notable flaws when using forced induction. But I'm sure you can engineer your way around that...

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
