I have to agree Scotty.The manual conversion is probably the only way forward for your goal/s to be met right now, & the Z box looks like the least hassle.

Maybe a half decent solution for the RE5 can be had in the future with some electronic trickery (not me either - I'm too busy to look into it right now). No real point in you spending too much effort there when it won't cut the mustard regardless.

Yeah, can't imagine an off the shelf box controller. I know the ECU tells the gearbox line pressure commands, becuase I have the uprev that allows me to alter them, however that is just one map in what I imagine would be 5 or so different maps for various aspects of the gearbox.

I don't know what is stored in the ECU, and what is stored in the GB ECU. There is a hell of a lot more to it than just the line pressures.

The main problem is keeping it out of limp mode, keeping the camshafts and throttle operating.

Manual 6spd should work if I leave the AT ecu there and trick it, otherwise there may be a link G4 going in. ;)

Hey Scott. 

I'm in the process of buying up all the parts needed to do a 6 speed swap on my m35. Just wanted to see if you have any advise for me.

Besides the parts required in that link Josh shared of my build i'd not go manual without also be keeping in mind throttle issues. Driving my M35 as manual with the standard electronic throttle was very painful.

 

Cheers

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
