This is my first Dyno run in my V35 Sedan with the 6 Speed Getrag fitted, only mod a full Borla Exhaust and K&N filter element from Jash at C-Red

I have been informed the dyno is off so I will have a more accurate one next week, but you can see the torque comes straight on which is mint.

Going to work on the induction system first as I had a pod filter on with no heat shield which was so loud when it came on plus the bottom end was a bit dead and more of a rush at 4,000 rpm, the pod filter only lasted a day, lots of bits in the US and Japan to tune the N/A engine up we will see what it takes to reach 240 hp at the rear wheels.

Jash has some Worx 19's for me then I am going to put some spare RE55's I have on my 17" BBS rims and see how it goes down the qtr.

The torque is so nice and with a different note to it, you could say it is a BMW V8 type sound.

Sounds good, keep us posted on it's progress! :(

No offense dude, but according to the Americans I've talked to the Borla is not very impressive at all. Nothing bad said about flow, but more about its quality.

Obviously readings differ between dynos (even in Shootout Mode), but your power figure is what I'd expect from a stock car.

What year is it? Is it running the 280hp engine or the 300hp engine?

You should be able to hit 240rwhp with just bolt-ons. Get the Z33 intake tube (which is less restrictive) or an aftermarket one, plenum spacer (assuming its a 280hp engine) and ECU and you should hit your target. With cats and headers on top of the above I'd expect at least 250rwhp in Shootout Mode.

There's practically zero gains from a pod filter, so don't expect anything but noise if you put another one on.

I am going to use a different dyno and see what it comes up with as Jash did say this dyno is running 20 to 30 hp low it was a "I am bored lets do a dyno run" we wanted to see how the graph looks, the yanks have quoted 220 to 240 rwhp stock. All the other mods you spoke about were done to a CPV35 so we know what is worth while.

Z33 Intake tube works well, plenum spacer isnt worth the hassle, I think ECU is a waste of money, with Cats out and Headers in it is to loud, US headers dont fit RHD cars well and Japanese are not worth the money, a Pod filter on Jash's CPV35 did make a difference.

The quality of the Borla exhaust was faultless compared to a lot of other systems on the market and it is well priced at the same time, it bolted straight up no rubbing, quality fittings but Yanks complain about everything.

A few of us who drive V35's every day all deem it the quickest yet as driving a dozen different ones in a week is a good way to guage any difference.

For real hp I would just get my mates at DNA Motorsport to fit a PROCHARGER and be done with it not waste time and money.

Damn, thts nice..makes me wanna run out and buy one now...u've got the sedan too! Any pics you can share of the car?

I have been meaning to get around to some photos but I was waiting for the 19's I have to be fitted, it is dumped on it's arse but still a bit soft looking with 17's.

They are a lot nicer car to drive then people give them credit and quicker then you think with only a little work.

The Yanks don't complain about the JDM catbacks. The Fujitsubo and HKS ones especially come highly lauded.

As for the plenum spacer, its the easiest thing to install! You just unbolt the upper plenum, put this metal spacer on with its gaskets, and then bolt the f**ker back down! And on a 280hp engine, it is worth it. While it only gives you a couple of kilowatts more in the top end, it makes the engine far more willing to breathe and so your usable rev range increases. It also stops your front 2 cylinders from getting starved of oxygen, so it doesn't coke up as badly in there. I'd say they provide a gain at least as good as a pod filter, if not more.

As for headers, you can get a cheaper set locally made. UAS sells 350Z extractors (which will fit a V35) for $600. Cats aren't cheap, though, no matter where you go :(

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
