Tyres should be OK. Most reo50a have 140 tread wear rating. Quite soft and grippy. Fresh synthetic oil, high boiling point brake fluid and some half decent rated pads should do the trick. I would leave the sway bars till later as they're quite expensive and you may decide you don't want to keep tracking the car after your initial track day. Above all drive the car with some degree of sympathy and you'll be OK.

If you can be bothered shipping. Hypergear in Vic. Proven highflows at a good price. Around the 850 mark plus shipping. Can't go wrong IMO.

Most united servos slug surcharge for amex even though they have the amex logo on the eftpos machine. My local united doesn't but no E85. Kents.

Guys in the states make 7000 HP as well. Just sayin[emoji3]

^this. You can remove the turbo with the front/dump pipe still on even if its a 1 piece style.

It will pretty much bolt straight up with the braided oil line hg supplies you with. one of the water lines has to be slightly manipulated into place. Other than that it is 100% bolt on. It would be wise to replace all the gaskets and even exhaust manifold studs while you're there. I decided not too replace the studs on mine, a few months later a couple of them snapped and I had to do the whole job again. It's well worth taking the extra time and spending that little bit more and getting it done right so you don't have dramas later on.

Yes it is Johnny. Will be dosing harder soon. I bit the bullet last night and went to united and filled the tank. Ended up on 78% ethanol according to the flex sensor. I'm gonna have to try and burn as much of it down as I can and refill before the tune. I really want to get the ethanol content to 83 or more. I may have to try a different united. What are peoples experience with united and what their flex sensors show? Is it consistently E85 or can it be as low as 78? Here's a few more pics of things that have changed on the car. I managed to pick up that hacked up airbox and pod filter in a couple of boxes of assorted RB junk that I won on ebay for $4. I ended up giving the guy $40 for it all. Felt sorry for him. The bloke was wrapped and so was I. Lol

Thanks swapper[emoji106] . Car started well this morning at 7 degrees, had a slight hesitation after a few seconds. I think I need to increase the post start cranking compensation a bit. I ran the fuel down again and added 12l of e85 in the tank. It's at E76 now. I did some road tuning and its happily cruising around. I can't believe how well the car idles now and how smooth it is compared to 98. When I come to a stop at traffic lights, I have to look at the tacho to make sure the car is still running. E85 is bloody awesome[emoji3] . Can't wait to get it on a dyno and crank the boost up.

On

Nearly ran out of juice on the way home from work. Car was cutting out around left hand turns. Luckily a united was just around the corner. I was too scared to switch the car off, in case it wouldn't start so I put in 2 litres of e85 with the car running to get home. I got home and plugged the laptop in and was sitting on 34% ethanol. I made a couple of little tweaks to the hot start and compensation table and got my jerry cans and headed back to united. Filled 2 Jerry's and put another 4 litres in the tank. Its now on E62 and running in an acceptable manner to cruise in. Just got to hope I can get it to start in the morning. Tomorrow I'll drain what's left over and pour in 20l and hope for a reading in the 80's. So far all I can say is it smells good.

A bit of an update, not much has happened over the last couple of months. Did a hill climb at haunted hills, car performed very well and had no issues. The Achilles 123s tyres have now seen better days. The rears lasted 2 track days and about 5000 street km before being on the indicators. They grip very well but longevity is poor. They where a false economy. Ive swapped them around front to back so I can get another track day out of them and i'll probably move on to some rs3's. The car has had a few minor changes, a gfb bov for a choice of woosh, sututu (so Johnny dosepipe doesn't get upset)or silence depending on the flavour of the month, a pod filter semi housed in a stock airbox (more sututu) and a hard wired upgraded fuel pump (dw340lph) in prep for E85. This required a tweaking of the fuel maps and an extra 12rwkw where found, making a total of 260rwkw on BP98. An ethanol sensor has also found its way onto the return fuel line and I have finally got around to fitting an air temp sensor. Naughty me has been driving around for the last 10 months without one. Flex fuel is on the horizon, everything has been setup, just waiting for the tank to be empty of 98. I'm pretty much running on fumes atm, so hoping to drain out the remainder over the weekend and dump a jerry can worth of E85 in there. Hopefully I can get the thing to start so I can try to sort out cold and hot starting and tune the light load compensation table so I can drive it around for the next week to flush all that yucky 98 out and bring the E content up to 83-85. Hopefully everything goes well and its tuned over the next couple of weeks. A big thank you to our resident adaptronic expert, Johnny (dosepipesutututu), ive been breaking his chops with a million and 1 questions on how to set this all up and do some basic tuning on it. Thanks mate. A couple of pics for now and ill post some more later.

Name and shame time.

Try priming the fuel pump twice before cranking and see if problem goes away. If it does, could be low fuel pressure at start up due to blocked filter or dying pump.

Posted 04 February 2015 by Equilibrise - 09:47 PM http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451457-m35-stagea-error-codes/page-2 Those yellow jackets are designed for NA VQ's I bought them and continually had problems with them. OEM coil packs are the best for VQ25DET. The oem turbo coil pack has a different part number to the NA coil pack. Yellowjacket copied splitfires coil pack which was designed for NA 350Z/V35 etc. They are the same fitment and do work, but there is a noticable power loss as the coil packs begin to degrade after a VERY short amount of time. They end up partially firing and then not firing at all. This was my experience with them anyway and I went through 2 sets of them over 4 months.

97 so far according to cams event entry

I'm not sure they are specifically for vq25. They are marketed as being suitable for a variety of models. I remember someone on sau using them on a m35 but can't remember what the exact feedback was. Maybe try doing a search or hopefully said member can chime in. Personally I would be going OEM but I would also want to make sure it is the coilpacks that are the issue b4 forking out the $ and potentially being disappointed and wasting some hard earnt. My 2c. Good luck.

Not sure, but this is a 2015 hg high flow

R33's are like a 6 foot blond With the fattest ass you've ever seen and a dog ugly head.

I use bp ultimate diesel, makes mad tyre smoke from the exhaust.

I believe you are the one who has misread brah[emoji12] Both those turbos are hg high flows and cost the same in bush bearing form. Just depends what you have to start with. You are being educated, that's what sau is all about.

No a stock non neo rb25 turbo is a 21u and its a t3 foot print. The only difference between that and an op6 is the rear housing. An op6 will make a little more power at the expense of lag.

Wut? What's a t25 got to do with an rb anyway?

I don't see how a hg high flow is a waste of money. 250-260rwkw on 98 and 300-310 on e85 and full boost by 3.4-3.5k rpm for $850 and is a 100% bolt on affair, no spacers or other bull shit required. I don't believe you will find any other turbo in that price range and unless you are chasing massive HP its a no brainer for most. Hypergear also does excellent pricing on adaptronic ECU's if you buy a turbo from him. You won't require an AFM or boost controller with one of them either, they do all the fancy crap, flex fuel, wb input, launch control and the customer service and support from adaptronic is phenomenol. My 2c.

Bcpr7es if it still misfires gap plugs down to .6 if it still misfires you need new coilpacks.
