It's a V35 Skyline pedal, ie same as the 350Z without the alloy pedal. I did have a 350Z one but wanted one with a rubber pedal.

Where'd you find one of these pedals I can only find the metal foot with a massive top covered bracket area?

Whoops, meant to say G35.

This might be easy for you to access in your part of the globe.

Hahaha Na mate True blue! 

Did you make your own harness for that vq35 pedal to throttle and what ECU did you run it to? I was reading over the haltech DBW diagram last night I have a pnp elite 2500 in the 34. They say to signal ground any linked grounds near the ECU so individuals signal grounds run from each throttle and pedal back to the ECU then you just splice them in before pinning into the plug right?

 

Yes I did, in hindsight, I should have just bought a fast, modern car like a M2 or 3 instead of modding this shit box.

I ran a new patch harness from pedal to ECU. The power and sensor ground goes from the ECU to the pedal, then it is spliced from there to DBW TB.

If you hop on IG, I have photos of my shit box, @nhbautomotive

That's one tidy boat! :P

Had a few 33's back in the day yours looks like it rips I think it's definitely far opposite of shit box haha

It's slow for today's standards, does ok around the circuit compared to most boats lol

I would sell this shitbox in a heart beat if someone offered the right money. Will straight away go buy a M3 and let everyone on this forum make fun of it lololol.

What could potentially be done to bring it up to today's standards and do you just not like the chassis or the heart? 

Hey hey hey can't talk about that euro stuff in here! :P

I was looking over that forum posted earlier from the fella that did the DBW on the factory plenum and noticed how he didn't delete the idle air control and cold start valve?? Also why didnt they mount the DBW throttle straight to the plenum and invert it or can they only be orientated that way. It stopped him using his tower brace 🤔

Would need a big list like adaptive cruise, lane assist, DCT or ZF, keyless start/lock/entry, adaptive suspension, better sound deadening, more airbags, better ABS system, traction strategy, etc. I'm pretty much describing a M2 or 3 or 4 lol.

Probably due to cost, I believe he just paid a shop. If I were to approach that, I would take off the top plenum and get the flange welded on and then get all the crappy OEM leak valves, emissions crap shaved off.

Ended up completely forgetting to keep tabs on what's been happening so 10 months down the track and with much guidance thanks to Dose Pipe the semi finished dbw build ended with 300rwkw flex tuned on E85. 

Here's some photo spamming.

Changed seals and gaskets as I went here and there. Bypassed the heater core for the moment until I pull the motor and aircon to do new heater lines and core fittings.

Replaced spigot bush and added a NPC pull button clutch.

Sorry for the wack order of photos...

Got some powder coating done and ceramic coating on the manifold and turbine housing for the Hypergear High flowed stock turbo.

 

After some mucking around and a message to haltech managed to chase down and fix an issue where the dbw wasn't receiving enough voltage.

Hypertune 100mm thick cast end tank cooler welded up and sat right at home. 

DBW flange welded to the Rajab upper half plenum then plumbing through under the battery tray.

45mm external gate fitted up and plumbed back into the down pipe.

Got her home safely.

Just have a few more things to fiddle around with and change but I'm very very happy with the end result and I'd like to thank 

 

Dose Pipe (NHB automotive) for taking so much of his not existent spare time to talk me through so much shit I honestly owe this man my car. 

 

MK raceworks (Matt) Extremely talented, cool, kind bloke did above and beyond with all the fab work and resolved all and any issues without a break of sweat. 

 

DVS Tuning (Jez) For being patient with me for 7 years endlessly talking about getting the car there eventually and then having the patience to fit me in last minute you sir are a legend.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
