$850 later, ready for garage parking competition.

New seals, new bearings, added 2x shims, backlash reduced a bit.

Just need to redo the ABS wiring, sometime in the past (not during my ownership) someone cut the plug and rejoined it poorly. When I put in the 2 way centre I never bothered to fix it because the mindset was "cheap track car, don't care". Fast forward 7 years or so it's not a very cheap track car anymore ?

Given the price, you gonna lash out and just go new? 

Would be a sensible approach, however when you think about it.. most 350/370Z don't produce very much power. Given that assumption, you would think the boxes are less thrashed than a Skyline box.

Kind of how you would compare a high class escort to a hooker around the bowlos.

I got 2 updates in 2 threads, both posts from you, both posts banging on about Samsonas... 

Do you get a commission or what? 

I wish :(

Imagine I did, just imagine that!

But reality, this non-Don Mega Ham build will probably just end up with a 350Z CD009 box.

fisch automotive are making RB conversion bellhousings for CD boxes at the moment, im very interested

Someone should do DQ250/381/500 conversion bellhousing for RB's. 

I feel it'll go well with AK47/crackle maps.

Nailed it, I'll take the DQ500 thanks.

If the one in the boat falls out, just pull it out from the missus' Tiguan and I'll be good again.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
