sorry mate i should mention i only have the rear muffler on the car. the mid one is still the big stock one. hence why it didnt make a HUGE difference. however it has a nice note to it! and a nice rumble at idle stephen was running his the entire time with the valve closed, i never heard it with the valve open! pipster, keeping the car quiet is exactly what i want it for. i dont give a crap about performance. thats what opening it again does

i rekon they are reliable too mines done a radiator (seal, not cracked) transmission has an issue but its a known fault normally fixed in japan. my dealer was a d1ck. and the turbo is still going strong at 120+k on the clock!

so im not so silly now am i aaron? dunc, i have the sports muffler on my car at the moment. i wired the valve open! not that it made a HUGE difference in sound anyway

not yet, when my citizenship papers come through maybe lol however i do live in a villa! with 10 other villas

why am i silly?? lol when i get home at 3am i dont want to wake the entire complex and shake my villa to pieces. also when im cruising and see police, i dont want them pulling me over for that. yes, it will give me a power loss, but if its there soley for the purpose of keeping it quite, why would i be revving the shit out of the car while its in the closed position. i may as well just hand my keys over to the police and ask them to take it.

if i close the valve then less air out the back of the turbo = less boost = less power. there is less chance of detonation with less boost, assuming youre tune is ok on the higher boost setting.

pretty much everything from the doors up on an M35 are the same colour. so yes, i have 4 spare handles. when craig gets online he will know exactly how to remove them. im fairly certain the small cover on each end of the handle pop off and the bolt is underneath it. centre console pics? sorry my bad mate!

the forum now works and has bandwidth too i hear not sure when ill be at the warehouse again to take pics/video

why would i video it?

advancing timing increases the amount of air? lol you changed your exhaust because it wouldnt flow enough air for the boost you wanted.

please explain........ lower velocity will just create a blockage and the turbo cant come on boost as hard/fast. how will that cause detonation??

awesome, thats exactly what i want! also gotta order my apexi ECV to shut it up a little more when i need it

got a video of it aaron? there is so much sound deadening under the seats and in the boot, im not surprised a straight pipe exhaust is bearable inside the car

ohh yeah i forgot about them, the plastic bits clip off to expose the bolt. if you break anything i have spares so dont stress

no talent in that manouver lol VQ30DET i believe

holy potatoes batman!!! looks good rekon economy will be affected?

just unscrew it. 2 or 3 screws. also remove the door seal and the A pillar panel (it just pops off), you may also need to remove the centre lite assembly. then the roof lining should just fall out.

not that i give a shit anyway, i wont be using PSN

The steering is nice and light on the M35, but its not so light that you cant feel the wheels. However to be honest its too light for MY liking, but my wife rekons its fine for her. the anchor points are in the roof, yes. depending on the compliance place, it might be close to the tailgate, or around 400mm in (where mine are) good luck with looking for one! if you find a good one interstate, the drive home will be awesome also check out northshore as they have the 3.5L models available, all automatic, but they also have RWD models

its up in Canada and the US. UK, Ireland and the Middle East are coming up soon. We will be the last, of course thanks Sony!

want to be a little more vague?

want me to do a how-to for this one??

pretty much! that online update probably just stopped further console modding. except if you already have a modded one

turbo VQs sound awesome!

if its under 10 years old and 180,0000km, they are required by law to offer 3 months 'factory' warranty. tyres, battery, brakes, lights etc arent covered. they DO have warranty, and they will honour it interstate also
