whats similar is that they are auto stags with highflows....... its all the same basic principles / theories.

S1, S2, M35, all stags with the varied stagea features, auto boxes are auto boxes, and high flows are highflows. again a variety in types..... :)

May be the same principles, but... auto boxes are not all the same. The clutch packs in my box are just too small for the power I want to run. Unless you know of a manual that fits easy, I have no choice but to limit the torque output.

I installed the turbo today, also stuck heat shield around the turbo on the firewall as im not running the rear heat shield. Gearbox doesnt look like its going to be assembled untill next week, as the custom clutch parts havent been manufactured yet. ;)

look into the 34 getrag.. seriously. or a 33,32 gtr box in general..

from the brief moment i was under my car i'd say it would have to fit.

a custom bell housing maybe, drive shaft, and prop shaft and bobs your uncleeeeeee...

Must people seem to stick with the ball bearing cores when high-flowing, as some have the opinion that moving from ball bearing to bush bearing is a downgrade even if it is high-flowed.

I'd be interested to hear how you find the bush bearing though, just make sure you take good care of it and use a turbo timer or give it a few minutes to idle before turning the engine off etc.

Once I get the ecu remap out of the way and know they can tune the M35 I'll be sending a turbo off to GCG for a ball bearing high-flow. (can't wait!)

Not really necessary Stephen.

All you have to do is take it easy for the last block on the way to your destination.

Not only will it allow the turbo to cool down, but also the transmission, diff etc, which all need to cool as well.

You don't need to worry about the negatives that a TT brings.

Should be fine. If you see how the ball bearing units work you wont be as impressed, much the same as an old bike hub.

I would have gone with gcg if they had been more forward with information.

The car is back on the road after the tune. It managed 200 at the wheels at 14 psi, which is quite respectable I think.

The turbine housing still seems to be the limiting factor and is the hardest part to change so I think that will end the power gains for now. The injectors, pump and regulator would also need changing if any more fuel was required.

Im very happy with the Kewish Automotive rebuild on the gearbox. Shifting is quick and firm at all power levels without any clunking at all, highly recommended.

And I have some mates coming around tomorrow to help me fit the BC coilovers. Hopefully that will sort the handling out too.

Pretty sure Nissan have been using JATCO boxes in Skylines/Stageas since S3 R31's

Try the late 1960's - the 1969-built LHD 240Z had the 3N71A, the 3N71B/4N71B was used from 1970 through to 1988(ish) in a number of Japanese makes and then the RE401-series took over until the end of the RB. I'm sure the current model is a JATCO too!

PS good power Scott - considering flexible engine management is still a bit of a headache.

:rolleyes:

It managed 200 at the wheels at 14 psi

200 killa wasps at 14psi....good result considering I was at 17psi to get 199.99kw's!.......must be the intercooler and wheel size making the difference.

Are you using the standard boost controller or an aftermarket one?

3" FMIC piping = less pressure with higher flow

Congrats on powahhh, bloody respectable I'd say. Interested to hear your thoughts on the BC coilovers too.

Cheers, Dale

BC is not buddy club

they are different brand

although i was told that it's the same factroy (not 100% on this)

Buddclub dont have anything for the nm35's yet

ahhh got ya, i assumed buddy club :D

yeah a few brands steer clear of NM35s for some reason......

ASS | U | ME

(mainly because I assumed they were BuddyClub as well) :yes:

    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
    • Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
    • I have a r34 sedan 1999 manual converted need some help with my speedometer it only reads upto 98km and then stops currently still running the auto cluster any easy fixes no speedo drive is connected yet, if someone has a video for wiring up the manual speedo sensor with the auto cluster please send through
