just a quick question.Does anyone know if the hks gt-rs turbo with t3 flange a straight fit on the m35 stagea? :huh:

Not straight on, You may possibly be able to fit it in there, you would then have to make a custom manifold as the standard turbo is a completely different shape.

Then you could run silicone pipe on the the compressor side. A bit of stuffing around but I hope to do it myself once I build up a 3.5L block.

which means? :down:

I believe it means scotty nm35 has his first taker for the VQ35det group buy... :thumbsup:

Back on topic, it seems to mean that, no, the HKS GT-RS doesnot appear to be a direct fit.

The GT-RS fits nicely size-wise, but as Scotty said, a custom manifold is required.. not to mention the oil/water lines.

It will be a bit shorter than the M24N as well, so the stock dump will be no good - although I would safely assume that if you are putting a GT-RS in, you would also have a full exhaust :down:

Ah I wondered if the engine was the same enough to fit. I think the same thing is possible with the supercharger kit for the V35 skylines with the VQ35DE isn't it?

I like your thinking, a supercharged 4wd 3.5l stag would be quite a weapon. Might be easier/ cheaper to buy a PNM35 and s/c it? :D

Oh yeah, that might actually convince me to "upgrade" to an M35 :)

...that is, if I was convinced that the M35's auto gearbox could handle that sort of power :banana: I wonder how strong the ATTESA system is in the M35 as well?

It was posted a little while ago, but its a guy in japan that has fitted a GTRS to his VQ25DET

Full custom manifold and exhaust. - If I ever have to do turbo, I will go GTRS, it seems like a great match to the VQ25 even if its gonna take some playing about to get it in there!

HKS GT-RS is a garrett GT2871 (52 trim comp) in a HKS specific T3 turbine housing.

There is no reason local turbo shops couldn't machine the factory turbine housing to fit the turbine which would only leave the intake and oil/water lines to get sorted.

What?? Ruin a perfectly good GT-RS by hacking the standard turbine housing onto the back? :laugh: May as well just highflow.

Go the custom manifold! The standard one is crap.

That engine is one of the elusive VQ35DET's with AWD, I love mechanical porn. :)

umm...no. I didn't say hack up a HKS GT-RS.

I said it is a GT2871 (52 trim comp). So if someone wanted a close approximation then making a hybrid turbo out of a factory housing machined out to fit a GT2871 cartridge with the garrett compressor housing. It would make it easier to bolt up than the HKS unit as it would only require intake mods to make it fit.

My friends will make you a nice manifold for anyone wanting to do this!

if i had the coin i would get them to twin turbo it. i still want a manual behind it tho.

hmm... someone keeps telling me that an R34 Getrag 6 speed will fit... maybe you should try that ;)

i must have been living on a different planet, but did Getrag really make the R34 gearbox?

yerp they made the box for the r34, same as the box for the "indestructible" toyota supra minus the transfer

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
