Gday folks,

Just thought I’d double check in case I have missed something in my research through the forums when preparing for my next step of mods on my M35.

At the moment the car has full 3 inch stainless exhaust/high flow cat/Dump pipe, HDI intercooler, BC coilovers, Transgo shift kit, Turbosmart BoV. I have in my spare room a Greddy emanage ultimate/loom, Greddy profect B boost controller and SS2 Hypergear turbo. I will be annoying Scotty for 1000cc injectors + fuel pump and a custom made intake.

From a boost/power increase point of view is there anything major I have missed before I stop acquiring parts and start fitting this gear? Are there any other major weak links I have not addressed? My intention is to get onto Scotty in a couple of weeks for the last few bits I think I need and then once they are also sitting in my spare room (I don’t really care how long it takes) i'll start fitting all this stuff to my car.

I'll eventually address brakes and perhaps add more bracing to make it handle a bit better but power is my current plan.

Cheers guys.

Obviously in the coming months as all this gets completed I’ll post results.

scottys modified actutor

Yes i have considered this and mentioned it to Scotty. The turbo that was rebuilt by Stao didn't have an actuator with it but i am still running a stock trubo on my car right now so i was going to obviously use that when the turbo is taken off. I can't afford to have the car off the road for weeks at a time as it's my daily. sato was nice enough to include some things in with the trubo to "pre-load" the stock actuator i think... this requires more reseach on my part and i'm not 100% sure what this entails. I assume it's to do with holding boost at higher revs but i'll read up about it more.

I did see a trans cooler mentioned and wondered about it. My car will never see the 400m strip or track (i live miles away from both) but if its required for the odd squirt on the open southern roads i'll add that to my list.

Cheers

A must have would be Scottys cooling mod,that would be the first thing id be putting on.

Quoted for truth.

A transmission cooler is very cheap insurance once you see how expensive a gearbox rebuild is.

So when you say cooling mod you are referreing to transmission cooler.

I will take your advice :)

Cheers

As Alex said Scotty's cooling mod is for engine cooling. Allows cooling system to function far more effectively, and also allows far easier bleeding of the cooling system. The NM35 cooling system is notoriously difficult to bleed.

An external transmission cooler is a separate but very worthwhile addition.

Also please make sure all the oil restrictors has been drilled out. The high flowed turbocharger do require greater oil flow to work properly.

I will certainly be doing this that's for sure.

Wat sort of power could you expect from this setup?

That's a good question... I'm hoping for anything over 240-250kw's.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
