Hi guys, 

looking for opinion if that worth to swap vq30det instead vq25det? i couldn't find any topic with similar project, i wonder if awd system will work properly and gearbox will fit straight? idea is that solving issue with ecu tuning as vq30det is supported by nistune, actually some will ask why change the engine instead of buying ecu? but first i couldn't find any ecu for that and second i have spare vq30det engine already)

I didn't know Nistune supported Y33 VQ30DET, interesting...

From info on hardtuned (and another SAU thread) the Y33 and M35 ecu pin outs are pretty different. And from my understanding, the Y series ECUs control things like the climate control and part of the navigation display. Not sure about the M35 but you risk losing some of the interior functions. Not to mention the new ECU would probably need info from the auto box, and M35 runs RE5 while the Y series all run RE4.
Sounds like a big task and lots of unknowns.

Doesn't really help you but the only VQ30 into Stagea swap I know about used a Link ecu and manual box from a Z (so RWD)

I have recently put a Haltech Elite 2500 in my M35 with the VQ25DET, i believe it is the first to have it done in the country. I have been working with Matt from Haltech to clean up and sort out the base map for the computer, which was a sucess. The car is now tuned and it runs beautifully.

Anymore details? Is it just acting as a piggyback?

Mine isn’t yet, but it can be added in, after the motor is wired there still are a few available outputs that can be used for what ever you please. If you run out of outputs you can get a CAN hub and add more.

      Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.

      I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
