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 :(

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
