landed is different to landed and complied!

....5K on and NM35 is going to go a shit load faster and have greater economy than on a PNM true or false?

There will soon be a heavily modified NM35 from Mercury Motorsport smashing PNM35's like glass bottles against a wall!!!......mind you it would matter if you put that driveline in the NM or PM because other than the dash it would still be the same car.

BAM!!!!

lol @ your example and "BAM!"

Tell me which engine they stroked to make 4.15L...

Also, I meant landed and complied. Surely you read those Prestige emails, yes? They are the same ones I get ;)

That thing is huge!

4.2 stroker, GT62, hnnnnnnngggghhhhh! :woot:

It's come a long way since I saw it. Was buried so deep amongst other 'project' cars that I didn't think it'd see the light of day.

The Mercury car is a VQ35.

Only NM35 owners get their panties in a twist when Series 2 cars are mentioned. Nissan removed all the unreliable sucky bits like the attesa pump and the turbo...

Pulled apart and clean/decreased my r32 gtr front calipers getting ready for paint. A light sand on thursday and they will be ready for some black paint . Gunna keep the nissan badge on them silver as my car is silver. Was going to go with the red nissan wording but happy with the standard silver.

They used a vq35 and threw mega dollars at it because its a piss week motor. If they had brains they would have stuck a r35 motor or a Chev in it.

Yes I read the prestige emails....but I skip all the NA crap!

Loving you and Alex justifying the vq35. I agree it's a good motor but man there like broken bottles in a pub if the money's not spent. I mean what did Alex get....220rwkw's out of his with a 30/86...max on 98. From memory where is Scott at with his vq25 and the same turbo....even my pos capped it with a shit turbo setup. That should tell you straight away that Nissan went full ret ard taking the z33, v35 and pnm to the vq35de.

Off topic is off topic!!

I was actually looking at a different conversion from the norm for my vl a while back, and was thinking about the 4 litre out of the Navara then use the m32 manifolds etc to turbo it! (hopeing nissan kept everything interchangable like they do) that would make a very very nice torque engine

*Insert face palm smiley*

Aside from annoying (once the novelty wears off) is this sort of flutter potentially damaging for the turbo?

Last night after many hours of F n around managed to get the oil filter off, I don't know how hard the rb25 is but the rb26 is just rediculous, removed the batter and then the fuse box (pushed that forward to where the battery was) after getting that off I was happy to then attempt to change the oil. Also did the gear box oil (maybe had 2.5 litres in it) car shifts alot nicer now. now to do diffs and transfer case next.

Lol I had the same problem when I first got mine.their is an easy way to do it but its tight,all you need is the correct tools and to just undo the fuse box so it moves slightly and you can do it ill post up a photo of the tools tonight when I get home (if I remember)

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
