PN-Mad

Well that depends if you want a whole diff, or just going for the parts and re-using your external. Best option is to get a whole pumpkin, and bolt it in. That being said VLSDs do get a bit long in the tooth, so another option would be to just get a quaife to suit a open diff installed. The other part is a bit more difficult. The front diff needs a fair bit of disassembly to get to and change. This, as has been said, can be obtained from wither a PNM35 front diff, or a G35x from the US. Basically look for any options for 350zs and you can use them- just be aware the ratio is different. Its not a cheap exercise. Another option is to buy a ARX VLSD from YAJ or something, if you want to keep the std diff ratio. Yes turbo is recommended replaced at 100k. Doubt many of them would have been changed. The main factor with the stock turbo is servicing. If a bit of crud blocks the very small oil feed- its game over. The other thing is the std dump pipe is very restrictive. causing higher heat and wear. They can be pushed quite hard with the oil feed drilled out a little, and a high flow dump pipe installed. I believe they are steel wheeled, not ceramic. Don't worry about ARX vs RS/X regarding the turbo. If the turbo hasn't been rebuilt just budget for it to be done sometimes in the next 1-2 years of ownership. If it lives longer, happy days, but don't be upset if it blows up.

You don't want a Stagea. I can almost guarantee it. Go and buy a shit heap first car. If you buy a Stagea you will whine to us when you break something/crash and can't afford to repair it and still have to pay the car off.

free car is free car! Win!

In other news, I drove all the way across the other side of Sydney. Didn't see any Stageas. Saw about 7 Emos....

No life..... except on interwebz

too much power. And seeing it was a Nissan, I knew parts and fixing it would be expensive. So I got a Datsun

ROFL. I actually considered one of those as a first car.

I accused the wife of throwing out my H/D sway bar bushes I got from Dale. Over a year later I found em stuffed in a corner in the garage. We both had a chuckle about it!

I know your fastidious, but if you haven't had a good alignment lately, might be worth checking one out. I had a shed load of rear toe in, and it has worn my rears quite significantly compared to the fronts. Swapped them to the fronts to try and get some more milage post alignment.

ha! wasn't going to get rid of the stagea! Whole idea is something I can park up, mess around with and abuse on the track, and then not have to have it running by monday morning.

ROFL Are you still mad mate...? Prob gtst. easier to mess around with, and cheaper.

something cheap, RWD and fun. And Nissan.

Emo Not.

For Sale is one used HKS Single Turbo kit to suit Z33, but also fits V35 and PM/PNM35 VQ35de motor only. Location- Sydney NSW Pic of a kit on a motor HKS pic of kit This Kit should be well known to Z and V drivers, there are a few cars getting around with them now, so they are a proven kit. It consists of: GT3037 HKS ball bearing turbo 56T 1.12 rear HKS GT II 60mm external gate Exhaust manifolds, incl cross over pipe HKS high flow cat converter Intercooler ALL piping from air filter to cat converter incl clamps and silicone joints I have had this kit installed on my PNM35 stagea for the last 11 months. In that time it has done less than 10,000kms, including two trips to Goulburn for car events, one night (3 runs) at WSID, and basically taking my Mrs to and from work. So it has not done a lot of work. No track days. Boost has not been above 6psi, which for this turbo is tiny. Original markings are still visible on the turbo wheels. There are a few scratches on some of the pipes from installing however they are no really visible once installed. ALWAYS warmed up before use. Turbo doesn't have shaft play or anything a flogged out old turbo would have. The Kit also comes with extras incl injectors, fuel pump, Uprev MAF, and Boost Tee which I will detail later. I have modified 3 parts of the kit to fit my car: 1) I do not have the sump that came with the kit - it does not fit the AWD motor so I sold it off. I modified my existing sump to accept the oil return. The buyer has two options - do the same, modify the existing sump pan (which you will receive as a template) OR buy a pan spacer from the US that has a place for a fitting in the side for an oil return. They are easy to get and not very costly ($150) 2) I had the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler modified to suit AWD, as the original one fouled the front driveshaft. While I am pretty sure it will still bolt up to a RWD car, I would have the pipe modified to create better airflow, as the rwd have more space in that area 3) I had the exhaust modified to clear the AWD transfer case. The overall length is exactly the same, however I just had a fabricator insert a 200mm piece to allow the bend to be more rearwards- you can see this in the photo. The Cat was attached to this pipe. Again - I'm pretty sure it will bolt straight up to the RWD cars, however its not a big job for an exhaust place to modify it if it doesn't. I will also include: A Set of 6 Deatschwerks (denso) 600cc injectors (plug in for VQ35de) including original flow report. RRP $580 An Uprev GT AFM - this re manufactured MAF allows the ECU to read higher levels of boost. If you want to turn the boost up from the gate pressure (4.5psi) you will need a larger AFM. RRP $350 A genuine Walbro GSS432 255lph drop in fuel pump in original package RRP$130 Turbosmart Boost Tee to adjust boost levels. So basically all the new owner will need will be an ECU for the kit, which I can point you in the right direction to Uprev or you can source your own. I will ship at buyers expense - however understand its heavy, large, and there are fragile components. I will do my best to package them if you want it shipping, but I can't be certain it will arrive perfectly. I have only a few of the original boxes. If you want to have a look at the kit, thats fine. Let me know. Any questions I will try to answer. Best way to contact me is through PM on the forums I won't always answer my phone - 0431 090-240 I will NOT hold the kit for you, unless you leave a non-refundable deposit. Please sort your money before saying you'll take it. Don't lowball me - go and ask a shop for a quote to turbo your car. PRICE- $3750 firm. Stop wasting time on NA mods - this will beat all of them hands down. Kit is for sale on other sites . Photos to come.

and gheyness.

You call me Dale? Emos must reduce IQ

GTFBTW Get The f**k Back To Wastland roof racks and fixie..... pft!

So Jim bought a HR31? wonder if he'll be racing it with the rest of the Grp A cars

Spent all weekend on the car. First of all the Thanks- Thanks so much to Jetwreck for putting in the time, and having a ability to get to stuff that I just can't get to. Thanks to Daleo for his work on customising my headers- and coming through with the right tool at crunch time. Thanks to WagonBoy for coming and lending a hand- Thanks to HKS Nismo Bro Full Hectic Garage for use of the facilities. We did this : So the Car is back to NA But we did do a few tweaks I didn't want to spend money on tomei manifolds, going back to NA, and I didn't want China spec ones either so the stock ones were the go. But after having a close look at the manifolds, the restriction on the ports was amazing. Big bits of weld hanging off, tiny tube inside of tube... etc etc. So, Daleo (the magician with all things metallic) went to work on the headers - the results speak for themselves. Now obviously I don't have a dyno before and after with the manifold, but it doesn't take a scientist to work out that flow has been improved. It wouldn't be a cost effective mod if you were pulling the headers off to do that, because of the labour involved, but since we were replacing the manifolds, and I had them out of the car I thought we'd give em a touch up. So, the turbo system is out, and will be for sale. I will put up a for sale thread soon. Why remove it? I figured that I'd created something that didn't really suit my requirements. My Mrs drives this car daily to work, and with the idea of kids in the future, it wasn't going to be a mummy friendly car. So I decided to take it back a few steps. I'm very happy with my decision, but I loved the time as a turbo. The turbo kit really deserves to go to someone who will drive the car hard on weekends or track days - something I wasn't comfortable doing in the wagon. A new project will be a Track car / texi car build, and something to take out on SAUNSW club runs. I already have plans, and have started collecting a few parts. The idea is to have something that I can build up, and learn to improve my driving participating in motorsport activities, without having to worry about breaking the Mrs daily car The Stagea will get a couple of little mods - and then will be back to Jez for a NA tune since I still have all the uprev software thats only coded to my car. Hopefully that will give the car a little extra pep, and no doubt will still be very enjoyable to drive.

I use Craig. I was not disappointed.

I hear they are bringing out a new range of never pop off cooler pipe hoses.....

Haahahahahahahaha Trolled. Blown turbo = see Scotty or Craig. End of story. Or I hope you have very knowledgeable and helpful friends.
