I cant believe this has happened the next day i put my new rims on..

getting on the M2 i accelerated put the foot down.. car looses power whilst gearing down.

no power at all

i can hear the turbo spooling but it's making a wierd noise instead of the familiar high pitch noise...

the noise sounds like a electrical fan thats on it's way out everytime the turbo kicks in...

So far i 've checked the codes on the car and it seems the Air Mass Senesor is faulity and also have another code on the Manifold Absolute pressure.

ive ordered a new AFM but people whom had turbo trouble in the past please shed some light to me..

Do u guys think it's new turbo time??

hmmmm without seeing I think it may be

+1.

Does it just make a high pitched sound or is it a sort of "Lllllolololololololololololo" type sound when under "boost"?

Not only that, but we had another M35 turbo go last week, exhaust wheel sheared itself from the shaft... Rumour has it, that is rather common... Never heard of it happening myself :)

(Let me know how you go Jase. Hope the info helped.)

Current definite state of origin score;

VIC - 2

NSW - 2 *Danny's is not a definite.... :) ....yet*

With stat's like that, it's confirmed the C34 is more reliable than the M35 and a much better car.

Whilst I don't want to take this thread off on a M35 v C34 tangent... I am wondering how long an RB's OE turbo would last at 12-15psi... 100,000km's? Doubt it. Not to mention the timing belt... Don't you wish you had a chain instead?

LOL

I suppose that is why you are selling it.

Must be real happy with your C34, ay?

Could be just on totally the wrong track here, but i have found with a manual car anyway, when you put power down get a whole lota noise and such but no power its clutch, not too sure how this works with an auto but could it be something there?

Hi Danny

I don't know if this any help to you but I have a spare turbo that I am renting (for lack of a better word), so you could get this rebuilt and then just do a straight swap on the turbo.

The change over cost will be $50, provided I am given a turbo with in tact housing on return.

Let me know if you are interested. Send me a PM.

Cheers

Andy

Danny - check your intake piping, you'll be pissed if you start pulling everything apart expecting a turbo fault & discover a loose hose clamp, or split pipe...

WRT to the RB OE turbo at 15psi - not very bloody long. But it's not designed to, whereas the M35's is (theoretically...)

Yes, I wish I had a chain :D I was brought up on the L/FJ series, and the double-row chains are a 'good thing'!

(don't get me started on the SR timing gear - the Nissan engineers were having an off-day when they designed that one)

This is rather common in the 'frog eye' WRX Subarus with the TD04, I know 3-4 WRX drivers who've had this happen, havn't heard of a NISSAN with the same issue though.

Simple, buy an NA M35 :D ALMOST as much go without the hair drier :P

And did you know it comes in manual, I have heard a few M35 drivers mention they wished there cars had a manual option :)

My s2 turbo died at less kms than my M35 has now. The M35 turbo is likely very similar to the one used in the s2 stageas. Either way they are both ceramic and suffer the same limitations. The M35 only runs ~11 psi out of the factory so to my mind the only danger occurs when increasing the boost by either a boost guage or altering pressure somewhere in the system (ie. free-er flowing exhaust).

Of course there are some that are just unlucky, but that happens to the s2's as well (happened to mine at stock boost).

We could always run 7-8psi boost on the M35, but then we'd have to put up with s2 performance :P (just teasing - i used to own one).

Other than this I've yet to see or hear of evidence of any model of stagea having any "weak points" reliability-wise.

*cough* power windows *cough*

I really need to get this swine flu looked at :blink:

I never heard of this being a common fault with M35's...is it?

After a quick search I found 1 thread regarding this - the button still worked but just not the AUTO part.

Sorry Danny, offtopic... :P

Hope you get it sorted...

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!
