Hi guys, the opportunity has come up to buy the turbo, manifolds, dump pipe etc from an M35 Stagea for pretty cheap. 

I've read that this setup bolts straight up to a V35 coupe but cant really find much info on the matter. 

Has anyone done this, or confirm it can actually be done?

There was no turbo option on the M35 Stagea VQ35 so it must be some kind of aftermarket kit so as long as you are getting the complete kit including ECU. loom etc I can see no reason why it would not work on the V35 Skyline but double check everything first and ask questions of the seller.

I beg to differ, this statement is wrong. The NM35 from october 2001 to August 2004 was available as a turbo, all vehicles were 5speed automatics and were either available with HICAS or IRS. The usual problems with loom, High compression, injectors and ECU could be expected with this conversion.

They came with a VQ25DET aswell -  Afaik alot of this turbo set up is pretty straight forward when putting it onto a VQ35.

Read up on it a few years back.

If parts are cheap give it a go :P

Yuh, so Kiwi's statement is still correct. He said "no turbo option on the M35 Stagea VQ35 ". The operative bit being VQ35.

So the real question is "can you bolt VQ25DET stuff onto VQ35 (NA)?". And, I am 110% sure that this question has been asked on here a number of times before. Just search!

Sorry guys,  I should have been more specific. The turbo setup is coming from a VQ25 DET and will be fitted to my VQ35.

I actually had a chat last night with someone that's done it and looks like it's relatively straight forward. 

I've already committed to the purchase, so a build thread may be incoming...

@camr33 I had since looked into this as im friends with the guy who sold you the parts.

 

Xr6T Intercooler will fit fine along with the M35 stega set up. Only a little bit of work needs to be done. Makes the DE actually look cool with a big single turbo.

Yeah, I did some research prior to purchasing and spoke to a couple of others who've done it. Already have the intercooler sorted too. Just need to work out engine management, injectors and fuel pump next.

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
