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!

'coz I stuffed something up and had to ninja edit it while I still could!

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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
