That is a pretty accurate review, of a standard M35. Good thing is there's some pretty cheap mods that will address most of the 'bad' points.

I quite like the look of the back of mine now that I've made some changes, although I wasn't very fussed prior to that.

Not a bad result..

Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

So for reference's sake, the Informeter is saying that my max coolant temperature is 98 degrees in my car. That is with a Koyo full alloy radiator to suit a V35. I'm pretty sure that before I cleared it, Dunc's max temp was 103 degrees celcius. Not sure if it helps anyone but just thought I'd add it anyway.

Now to figure out how to get my air cond thermo fan to start working. :rolleyes:

Interesting review.

If you do the dump pipe and exhaust, and the brake wire cut mod, I'd be interested to see this review again after...

All these will still not get rid of the abysmal throttle response....It might help a bit but its still shit slow off the line...

Thats the issue with going highflow, boost comes on later and our cars have bugger all low down power. (Mainly due to the low compression.) Mine seems to take off much better off boost with the larger rear housing on the turbo, as there is less exhaust restriction. Throttle response is great once you are on boost.

Well, yeah, once your on boost its sweet. Its the 0-30 kph I'm referring to...

So I know what Iain thinks, but what do others think about the "Nissan Sports Muffler". Would a dump and decat pipe make much of a difference to performance with the standard "rear pipe" attached?

it would......any improvement over the standard system would be better......but!!!!

I don't know how much restriction is it but you'll need the dump pipe just to get rid of that cat. I'd keep a cat in the midpipe but with the Nissan Sports Muffler do you still have the box of baffles in the middle of the car? If so a midpipe would make a huge difference!

I know where you can get all that sorted too... :whistling:

Scott put one of his dump pipes on mine. I could feel a little difference, but not a lot

This is interesting. A lot of people on here have claimed a dump pipe will significantly increase performance. Its all subjective I suppose.

My car is standard at the moment, I'm 95% sure i'm going to get Scotty to fabricate a dump pipe for me and AM Performance a Cat-back. I'm going to do a 0-100 before and after. Does anyone know of an App for Android to test this? I've got Galaxy S2, so something to use the inbuilt GPS I assume.

I think there's a thread about the SS Wagon vs M35 somewhere on here. Well last night I burnt off a new Calais but i'm 99.99% sure it was the SiDi v6 version. Still, it was a comfortable 'win.'

I'd assume an m35 with a turbo-back (and nothing else) would match an SS. Where I live the air is crisp and I think the turbo works a lot better than anywhere else in Australia.

I'd also be interested to know the weight difference (if any) between a standard exhaust system and a typical aftermarket one.

I don't have the box of baffles. It's either been replaced with a resonator or came with one from factory. The welds look way to clean to be a modification IMO, but maybe I'm wrong..

Actually, Dunc has the same muffler - does yours have the box of baffles?

a VE SS would comfortably beat a stock M35...even if you've got a whole TBE system...

MEH!

My CD player won't eject a CD and i'm getting 'CD Err F0.' I reckon it's just cheaper to sort out a connection to my ipod. Is there an AUX at the back of the player or do I need to buy an adaptor, similar to the V35's.

Oh and I didn't realise VE SS did the 100 in only 5.5secs, dayyamm

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
