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.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
