My newly aquired car... smidge better than the ole faithful TX5

It needs a really really good detail.. all in due corse i suppose

Finally! Was wondering when you were going to post! Looks great brother!

Nice pic - a rare sunny day!

Nice! I'm not normally an M35 fan, but that's one good looking car!

Looks awesome, love that front bar. IMO needs just a touch more low, or an inch bigger rims to fill the guards a bit more. otherwise very nice indeed

That's a whole lot of Impul!

Full kit + wheels. Possibly suspension (does it have light blue springs and silver struts? Yes I see the Tein sticker) and ECU too (check under/behind the glovebox).

That blue works wonders on that nose. Do like!

EDIT: forgot to mention, prob a Nismo rear spoiler too

Very nice pick up mate- looks like you scored one with lots of fruit!

I'd get some higher profile tyres when the old ones run out- fill those massive guards out a bit thumbsup.gif

Heaps of good info one here- do a search if you have issues and you'll learn heaps!

Its got Tein coilovers in it, Calsonic front mount, Impul cat back (now with 3' mid pipe) and i'm pretty certain its got an Impul ecu too (Runs high boost 1.3bar + i found the Impul control unit badge in with the owners book as the ECU itself doesn't have a sticker on it)

Not to sure what the spoiler is, haven't seen a Stagea with one.

Did come with a box of spares which im yet to pick up from IM, so i might have the blue springs with silver struts.

Calsonic stuff is factory. That cooler is too big to be a factory jobbie Jeff. Sure it's not an Impul one too?

No its not; not on the M35. The Calsonic is the aftermarket FMIC of choice supplied by Impul. iirc they never made their own.

Yep, and a very rare item that Calsonic unit is these days.

Thanks guys, I've learnt something :thumbsup:

Welcome Christian!

Looks low! Any plans for it, or just a cruiser?

Plenty of info around on here to answer many of the common questions- a search will give you most of the info! Hope you enjoy your stay!thumbsup.gif

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
