I found this article on M35 issues and fix regarding the turbo.

Is this something people know of, have done or do as recommended?

"For Nissan M35 Stagea vehicles with the VQ25DET engine, the Garrett M24N turbocharger is susceptible to failure due to a blockage of the 1 mm oil feed if the car is not serviced regularly. To overcome this, a common modification is to bore out the banjo bolt on the oil feed from 1 mm to 3 mm."

Most vehicles have 10,000km service intervals but most vehicles owned by enthusiasts or the like change oil at 5000km intervals i think it is something about oil being at or close to the end of its usability at 10,000km and start cloging up parts in your engine

Anything not to blow my turbo :)

Apparently, a good mod is to also change the dump pipe on the M35 (Scotty's one looks pretty popuular).

What's the overall cost of this (part and labor)? Proven benefit on the turbo?

I would also like to know the costs and benefits (power/ecconomy) over stock of the dump and front pipe.
I currently have the Nismo cat back system so would be good to know when combined with this.

The stock dump has a nice big cat like item about 20mm from the end of the turbo, scottys doesnt.


I'm sure the lack of restriction would change a lot, though I'm yet to drive an M35 without one of his dumps.

If we catch up before i change my dump pipe you can drive mine to notice the difference

The issue with the dump isn't just the cat, it's the 50c piece sized hole the exhaust needs to squeeze through before it.

I wouldn't go talking about punching out cats online personally, it's a big fine. ;)

There are 3 oil restrictors which is why they are more susceptible to oil contamination, turbo failure is more common from over speed. Turbine wheels doesn't fall off due to oil starvation, it is due to turbine over speed. A boost leak, larger exhaust, bleed valve and time all contribute. The only reason people stress so much is the turbo is a much bigger pain to change than the previous ceramic turbo wheel'd nissans. Max wheel speed is surpassed not much over 15psi, hitting the rev limiter and a subsequent backfire can tip it over the edge.

Pls be aware changing to a bigger dump or exhaust will reduce your OEM turbo life *unless you can reduce the boost back to std levels. Anything on the intake side can increase turbine speed if it reduces restriction, even without a rise in boost.

Having said that I lowered the motor and trans down(don't forget to undo the steering shaft like I did) with the help of some info from the guys here and was able to change the turbo out without too much hassle. First time can be very daunting. certainly a job I would leave to someone who has done it a few times.

Actually, these aren't 34 gtt turbo's, I have recently diagnosed a customers car that was running 22psi for the last few years on a stock turbo, the turbo is still working fine. Don't get these ceramic turbo's mixed up with older RB ones, they are much more hardy.

The reduction in exhaust temps with an unrestricted dump is much more important than keeping the shaft speed lower. It's the rear bearing that fails on these mainly, which takes all the turbine blades off the hub.

Is that small hole at the back really the exhaust outlet?? It looks like an o2 bung opening!

The small hole at the end is for o2. It's just a pic of the bottleneck in the top section of the dump. It's. 90 degree piece

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
