Brendons M35 build Thought I'd create a mini build thread on my progress with my first foray into Nissan wagon life and also a place to ask questions/path to follow. I bought the car with f*

And you know everything I assume, including how to hack and tune a factory Ecu? Firstly I'm running a Billet Intense RS Turbo and secondly it's safe on 19psi as my AFR doesn't go above. 93v at WO

Pulled out the nav unit to make way for the EMU. Made up a bracket/fascia to house it and have two provisions for the option harnesses. I still need to wire in the LC2 and mount the unit but that can

Sorry to hear Brendan. Good luck dude. If you need a decent low k motor there is one up at the moment that I was thinking of buying but your needs are greater... Stagea WA page on Facebook about a week ago.

I should be alright. I drove it back home from the plex so hopefully I can just gone and re ring it. I still have the original motor here too so worst case I just build up another short block.

Hi Brandon, any updates or are you taking a break from it for a while? (That's what I do when this happens to me!)

It's up on jacks and I've almost got the rad support off. Just plodding along with it when I feel like, no motivation haha

Might have missed it, but what is the ecu situation in the car?

Itsrom flash tune, tuned for 18psi. Saw a peak reading of 18.7 on boost controller so it's most likely leaned out over the quarter mile.

Got one head off to look at number 6. It's definitely gone lean, you can just see some detonation on the crown of the piston and at the very top of the bore. Then it's just scraped away at the bore and likely the piston skirt. 

I might be able to plate hone it out to the limit but I think it may have been pretty close when I originally honed it.

Eww. Looks like the rings have picked up bits of the piston edge as its burnt away there... The bore might clean up but that piston is fubar... Fingers crossed for the bore! 

I wouldn't have thought it would lean out that badly at 18psi... What fuel pump do you have? I only ask as I recently received a genuine Walbro from a verified seller... It was a fake. Fine for an excel but not for a thirsty birch like our Stageas! Looked very close but had the cheap plastic vanes instead of the metal pump gears.

Stock pump still. Christian asked me what pump I was running when I was looking at his flash tune at the time, but it seems we missed out relaying that info to each other.

Note to self, stock pump is no good for 18psi.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
