I'm looking at options for a new ride soon.

I'm thinking a V35 350 Gt when there ready to comply/import in a couple of months then whacking a HKS supercharger on it.

This is the new shape and will be a one of a kind in Australia for a while.

or

Should I go the tried and tested classic R34 GTR

Your thoughts??

I go the v35 + 300ztt front cut, and merge the 2 see what u get.

Why the fook would I want to put an older 3L TT in place of a 3.5L NA that puts out the same (if not more) power? Not to mention that it probably wouldn't be legal.

Personally ide find the best condition series 3 R33 GTR VspecII then spend 20K on it and still have change from the 34gtr  

but already owning a 33 i can see the need for a different model

get a ztune!!

Yeah Cam's machine would be a nice buy.

You reckon he'll take a trade.

My Gtst would make a nice drift hack for him don't ya think?

suspect the cost would still be lot higher - APS claim they have absorbed much of the engineering costs because they expect big sales in the US from the Z TT kit, and don't know if they would be up for modifying to suit V35 layout ... best idea would be to call them. Contact for their Z kits is Peter down in their Melb HQ.

Just to my limitted general knowledge, if a car didn't comes from the factory with turbo, It's was always going to be hard to make it reliable after being turboed, as factory turboed cars were engineer with alot of other agenda in mind other than power, ie. heat and coolings. are 2 of the top of my mind, APS might do a good set up, but it a far cry from a factory set up.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
