Yeah. Economy is hovering around the 9.5km/L (still!) The engine warning light has gone. Checked it last night & cruising @ 110kph on M1 readout was showing just over 14km/L Don't know what I did, but I am glad that I did!

Is this what you are after? ECU Terminal Arrangement Table NM35 Stagea is diagram N8-C on page 29 wiring_diagrams.pdf Also, here is the workshop manual thread. May take a while to get to 150 though... hmm, hotmail, Gmail, home email, work email... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4080719

Heh, certainly NOT Toorak, that is for sure! (Damn Man! Can you imagine owning a hectare in Toorak - retirement here I come) Thanks for the hints on springs guys. Just changed it to a Poll. Hey! The option was there, why not use it?

Oops, yeah sorry it's 9.6km's per Litre. 9.6 Litre's per Km would be a definite concern

Yeah, funny actually. When I fired the car up after doing the fuse thing, the fuel screen said 104km's to empty. Now, 160km's later it is showing 74km's until empty!

Tony aka NRVOUS is trying to tee the re-maps up with his tuner. Read more here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4261862 That is what I am waiting on. Price too obviously. I have an eManage Ultimate with Universal Harness sitting in my Garage atm, but I like the idea of the Stock unit re-mapped. Regarding suspension. What difference would aftermarket springs make if the shocks were worn? *dumb ass question I know, but still...*

You could look at the QFM A1RM performance pads (~$190 F&R from jetpilot1986). Have a set on order and have heard nothing but good things about them. Can't recommend or not recommend them though as I have not tried them. Looking forward to though. Front pipe? You could look at a Kakimoto, dunno about prices with exchange rate so poor. You will need to keep the stock dump though as the Kaki pipe does not have a cat. It does give the Legalis a much nicer sound though

Thanks for the replies guys. Didn't take it as a mark against the Bilsteins. At all. Ever. R33 GTR Brembo upgrade? Pics & thread please (much cheaper than Z33's Brembo's) Are you looking at the same exhaust combo that NRVOUS has? There are heaps of cat back's out there. Thanks for your 2 cents mate. What you say makes sense, and yes, I am a spirited driver - when I don't have the wife or 95kg's of dog roaming around in the car. Only issue is that with my exhaust combo, the piping sits about 1/2" lower with stock ride height. Subtract another 1" and the speed bumps on my way to work look pretty scary. Ditch the mower idea? But I will be living 1 minute from the Speedway. .... and I always want more poke

Yeah I did see it. I was actually saying to my mate that the suspension should have been first (did you see all that body roll?!?)... but why didn't the F1 Honda wing do anything? I can't believe it!! (actually I can, excessive rear down force on a FWD street car has never made sense to me - gotta love those Honda boys with their GT wings) hmm, a vote for the ECU from a Bilstein owner... interesting Cheers, Andy.

Wow. perhaps if you took your blinkers off you would see that of the VIDEO GAMES machines, the Nintendo Wii has, and continues to outsell both the xbox and PS3 around the world. Why? Mass market appeal. Anyone can pick up a Wii-mote and play. Or jump on WiiFit for some entertaining excercise. You obviously don't think that the Wii is "gaming" as you put it because it's graphics engine can't stand up to xbox or PS3. Imagine, if you will, that Nintendo decided to make it's machine as powerful as the PS3. Would that make it a "gaming" machine to you or is it just a fad because you don't sit motionless on the couch with a 10+ button controller in your hand? What if COD5 was on wii, had the same graphics as 360 or PS3, would it be a "gaming" machine then? I will save you the effort of typing it, NO I am not a fanboy. I have been gaming since the Intellivision and own too many consoles. Nintendo have clearly taken the next step in the evolution of gaming by actually incorporating physical movement into the gameplay. Unfortunately, gaming evolution usually only takes the form of graphics/sound (see xbox -> xbox360, PS1 -> PS2 etc). Maybe with their next machine, Nintendo can up the power significantly to give the "gamers" the graphics they "need". Also, you mention profitability with cross-platform games. Which gaming company was the most profitable last year? I will give you a hint.... they only make games for a fad machine, and have been doing so for 25years.

LOL. Thanks for making my decision so clear! I would love to see the golf cart, sounds ace... Now if only I could get in a good round of WhackF*ck this weekend... Yeah, it runs as rich as Bill Gates at the moment. A tune would be great. Been joking with the wife about goats as well... May cause a bit of an issue with my dogs though.

Quick question as I can't decide. My next mod is going to be the last one for a while, so out of the following, which should I do and why; 1. Suspension - (New) either Bilstein, Nismo or Kenstyle (although they look a little soft) 2. Brakes - Z33 Brembo's (lightly used) - front and rear calipers, pads & rotors 3. ECU re-program (not sure about price, but should be cheaper than option 1 or 2) and possibly (again, depending on cost) larger custom front mount 'cooler 4. Nismo bodykit - (not a priority atm, but would look ace in Peal blue with my rims) Currently have; 3" dump back exhaust HiFlow turbo Nismo LMX5 rims 1. Suspension - stock - a bit floaty and allows body roll 2. Brakes - stock 3. ECU - stock 4. Stock RS body - no damage (except for a couple of small dents on the roof - a large tree branch fell on my car ) Or should I buy a ride-on mower? 1.1ha (2.8acre) is a lot of area to push mow.

I would agree with your guestimate. Having had mine to ~195kph (or that's what the speedo said anyway), there was still plenty left. I would be VERY surprised if mine could not hit the 250 mark. Just make sure that your suspension is good and the road is smooth....

hmm, not sure if I want to do a reset Whilst I haven't been "pushing" while driving (but not holding anyone up either), the fuel screen is currently showing an average of 9.6L/km over the 160km's since yesterday morning. Not really driving that much differently, and yes, I am driving the same route to and from work.

Price details for M35 Nismo, PM?

Knox Autos = 4 speed box only at present. I spoke to them and had to explain what the car was, let alone get a price on a shift kit. unless they can get hold of the MV kit, I suppose.

*Just in case this happens to you* So I was looking at display houses over the weekend and everything was fine on Saturday day & night. Sunday the traveling starts again, but this time when I start the car, none or the gauges work! No fuel No speedo No tacho No temp = no good, especially in this revenue raising state Anyway, drove it as was (no choice) and noticed that me economy screen was only showing *'s and all data was lost. Starting to get concerned at this point... although the car was still running really well. Got home late arvo, did oil change and looked the car over. Nothing. Nothing loose, no blown fuses, no visible issues of any kind. Still no working gauges either, and now the engine light has come on! Jumped onto G35driver and found a few threads pointing to speed sensor which is linked to ABS etc, etc which may explain speedo & tacho, but what about the fuel & temp? Had another quick look this morning before work. Found the solution. Simply remove & re-insert all fuses (none blown) in drivers kick panel next to the accelerator (much easier to do with little Japanese fingers I would imagine). Turn key - everything comes back to life. Anyway, there ya go. Now I just gotta get rid of that damn engine light...

Heh, looks like I will be staying with the delay-o-box.

I stand (sit) corrected. So I guess they are not couriering it out to people in other states then?

unless they have created one in the last 3 months, they do not do one. Only for S1 & S2 Stags. If you speak to Mike & they do, please let us know. There are a few guys on here that would be very interested.

Why? Your Stag is already turbo charged is it not?

Agreed! Stance helps ALOT though. If you want to know about 'coolers and exhausts, check some of the other threads floating around. Both subjects have been (and are being) covered. In fact I think that there is a recent thread dedicated for M35 intercoolers. Have a look or do a search. Check with some of the sponsors *HINT* RMS Motorsport have GREAT prices and fantastic customer service. Henry makes everything very easy

I suppose if you were/are excessively cashed up, you could try to get a 350S complied... then put a twin turbo kit on it Damn. Work phone just rang and woke me from my pleasant day-dream.... mmmm.... 350STT... What else would you need??

Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing any RS's with beige leather, only black. Maybe the leather option was a colour-coded difference between the RS & RX?

My exhaust is a bit louder, but no where near enough to be a concern. I certainly is not what it could be. That is for sure... Perhaps you don't get the revs up for the crisp changes? (at around 5000 to 6,500rpm) Yep, seats are definitely better in the M35... Although I think the cloth seats are MUCH more supportive than the leather! Yeah, but I still say that you should spring of a full exhaust... Minimum of dump back (like mine). This will make the car soooo much more enjoyable yes. one day.
