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.

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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
