Nice purchase and some damn nice upgrades there :yes:

Yeh, HDI Intercooler Kit is soon going to be on my list too!!

Cheers

Edited by skyguy3804

HDI kit was a snack to install

Hopefully they start selling it with a 10" replacement fan as part of the kit...

Also picked up a turbosmart Kompact recirc bov ,as i suspected the factory one was bleeding (leaking) of boost. now holds but at the cost of noisy flutter.

Haha yeah I used the same BOV made a good performance difference but it does sounds like I have trapped a large pigeon under the hood

Yeh, Have the same problem with my kompact too.. they just don't seem to want to do anything about replacing the spring. Last time I spoke with them they wanted me to send them videos of the noisy flutter at low boost, and it shutting off at high boost so their engineers can 'analyze' and maybe send me out a softer spring!!

It can be managed to a degree by driving in tiptronic.. Still, it get's all the boy racers copping a sqizz :rofl2:

It doesnt suit the vehicles looks.

Intersested to see if GFB have an alternative even a late model GTR version would most likely remedy the problem...

Intrested to hear other owners who have found a better alternative...

I've got a dual port venting to atmosphere.......... love the flutter at low boost and sounds like a bucket of water being thrown at a wall over 7psi HAHA

good thing is though u can chage the spring tention by winding it down but mines on the softest setting......

Yeah I got the GFB Respons, you can adjust it to recirc or atmo and anywhere in between which is good, I set mine to recirc at moment but muck around with it every now and again, would be good with aftermarket ecu so you could tune for atmo better.

But yeah flutter is still pretty strong, if you adjust the spring really soft it helps reduce flutter but feels like it doesn't go quite as good, and it can make the car hesitate a little on and off light throttle, again that could be tuned out with an emanage I reckon.

I can only guess my standard unit was as loose as - the fact it had zero noise at all.

In regards to the emanage ive had a tuff time locating an expert on wiring it in in Adelaide.

The Guru appears to be in Vic. Have considered the drive , same time address the exhaust with the Fabrication Expert. If there is Adelaide option be interest to speak about the installs

Yeah I know mate I was Under the assumption all would know who I was refering to , aswell hoping someone closer to my postcode handy with a bunch of wires & soldiering iron and a finish to closely resemble your craftsmanship.

The trip to Vic is proving a difficult assignment...

If only i had to worry bout myself.

Btw hows the progress going are we nearing a start mate?

Honestly....

Would you touch the GT3082 ive on hand install?

Highmount in front of airbox?

Decided that the time, effort $$$ invested to just have a " proven results highflow" in place and on road is going to be not a great deal less Plus the heading of this blog explains everything...

Emanage is fairly easy to wire in as long as you have a computer pinout diagram , have always done my own computer wiring, emanage , microtec ect . There is also Nathan the auto electrician kicking around adelaide can't remember his business name but I can give you his number , a fair few of the performance workshops use him, top bloke !

I've still got a emanage ultimate kicking round somewhere I thought about putting it on the m35 but not sure i can really be stuffed with too many performance mods on it . Already trying to make 1 house brick something like quick is annoying enough lol

Certainly not attempting any records upgrading and modifying ones car is a personal taste.

For me its the perfect ride to have performance and luxury. Velvet sledge hammer.

Thanks I certainly would appreciate the Auto Sparkys number.

Finally nobody I know ever left a Turbo car stock ...

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
