Mine was done recently.

* New plugs

* flushed coolant

* oil change

* new oil filter

* new air filter

* new drive belts (i felt like getting them to do this because I wasn't sure what the original ones were like and its often a pain of a job).

all the usual checks (brakes, tires, "vehicle safety check" etc etc blah blah) for what its worth...

and thats about it...

Anything I missed?

timing belt?? ;)

kidding!! and if the mechanic tells you either the timing belt or chain needs to be replaced. just drive out and go somewhere else.

:)

Funny you should say that. The sticker on the inside of my bonnet that was put on for compliance states that it needs a timing belt change at 100,000kms....

something was wrong with your SR20 if it needed doing...........

and they only need to be replaced if they break, which you hope they dont :merli:

haha yes something was very wrong with it! other than being in a gtir, it was also spun bearing rock, no oil, oil filter spun off after 4,000km

I did read some were that they do the turbo as well at 100,000 hope not as my new stagea has just arrived and its got 100,354 is this true about the turbo ? anyone know

The small turbo is worked fairly hard in these cars, high shaft speeds cause it to wear out at around that amount of K's, especially if the oil changes aren't done regularly. It is probably why they are all getting sold around that time.

I would say to anyone buying a M35 to budget for a replacement but some are still going strong with higher k's.

so wot would be the best turbo to go for

You cant fit much else in there, unless you get a custom manifold made up, that is an engine out job. So far the guys that have upgraded have used the factory housings and machined them to suit larger internals. There are quite a few turbo places around that cater for that, do a search for m35 turbo upgrades in this forum for more info.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
