Dunc

I cant believe you left it so long to get the insurance! I organised mine before I even picked up the car. Mines $1100 for a 23 year old, $19k value and $400 excess, daily driven and garaged at night

Impul ECU got installed. Im now driving a different car. This thing puts me on my arse real quick

The postie just paid me a visit at work.. I have absolutely no desire to be here now. Why cant I go home

If I was going to get an aftermarket unit, I certainly wouldnt get somthing that small! So yep, completely stock as far as the IC is concerned.

Completely agreed. No point me processing any of the footage I took, Vu's videos cover everything exceptionally. I only snapped a handful of photos also, most of which turned out poorly because I was silly enough to try and take them while they were on the dyno and the lighting was non existant. Never mind! Thanks for the guys that organised it, it was anextremely well organised and friendly event. Well done!

Took the front off my car to get to the headlights & fog lights. I did try to get the foggies out without doing so, but it was impossible to get the drivers side one due to it being wedged against the reservoir for the windshield sprayer (I think). Shouldve taken it off to begin with, was ridiculously easy to get it out!

Turbo has apparently been high flowed, I have the invoice for it - but it doesnt really give too much detail as to what exactly was done, I should perhaps ring them up and enquire (The cars Previous owner had it done) Other than that, all stock (To the best of my knowledge). I do have the nismo adjustable exhaust, which has siezed up and Ive set to the 'silent' mode rather than the 'sport' mode. I guess this might account for 5kw if I opened it up Ive got a new ECU on the way from Japan, should arrive this week - that'll probably dial up the boost a bit I suspect. For futher power considerations, the 3" dump is on the cards - Scotty has a jig to make them up now too.

Had a little bit of a dissappointing result at the SAU:SA Dyno day today the M35 only pulled 126 KW It was on a mainline dyno, which they say under reads - but even so, would've liked a few more numbers. At least Ive got a baseline for future comparisons though.

1Ds Mark III? Nice! Oh, and your car looks good too

All good

Yep

I'll bring my DSLR and a tripod, should be able to get some snaps and video a few of the runs.

Saw a Silver C34 with gold rims yesterday on Kensington Road heading East just after midday

My olds saw a dark blue C34 on their way to the Barossa today. Im not sure if its cool or sad that Ive taught them to identify not only M35 Stageas but also the C34

Fun idea Do you currently have a factory screen in your dash? Would you be willing to replace that entirely with a bracket setup for this? That way you could perhaps keep your din gauges my 'Aftermarket' screen sits more or less where the factory popup system goes, except its fixed (doesnt drop down).. http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5606/img5802xa.jpg If you could make a 'grip' style holder for the device, similar to how many GPS holders work, you could mounting a bracket on to that - and thus being able to clip in-clip out the unit. Depends on the size and weight of the unit though.. also not entirely sure how it would look for aestetics when the device isnt in place. Mounting bracket behind my screen: http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7616/img5813t.jpg Grip style device for suction cup GPS thing http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8656/img5816b.jpg

Looks like an RS to me, based on the body style - unless they went to a lot of effort to change the body kit completely. Best bet is to get someone to run your VIN through FAST (nissan software) which will tell us exactly how your car rolled out of the factory

Thats the ATESSA reservoir. Your 2002 is an S1; all S2 models of the M35 were NA (ie no Turbos, sodefinately not the VQ25DET that you have in yours) & produced from 2004 onwards.

Claim your seat was ruined in the accident Dimi, say you had an accident when you realised youd just crashed your new car - and had to then throw out the seat

Solid attempt at Hover Stag there Robbie I havent 'done' this yet, but I have just won the ability to be able to 'do' it...

From a Dyno thread

Can I go on the reserve list incase anyone else pulls out? Cheers!

The SA guys might have a chance to play now too! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Dr...nd-t333935.html

If you're wanting something firmer, Id look at whats available for the V35 Skyline and 350Z; the 'stock' M35 springs are the same as the stock springs from them (Or so Ive been told, and I have used V35 springs in my car, so that does sound reasonable). Depending on what weight they're rated for you may not get the height you're looking for. Ive currently got Jetwrecks ARX springs in my car for height reasons, I was causing too much damage to my kit and exhaust with the standard springs

Completely understandable. I'd be tempted on the whole package but I rather like the rest of my exhaust system (Specifically the Nismo tip ) I'd be hugely grateful for a PM if/when you get the metal in for the lower flange though
