Hi,

Does anyone know how fast (0-100km) the M35's are?

I need a wagon for the family and are considering one....

I also want a sick bodykit & the pump it up to 300kw!! where can I get this in Aust, or do I have to get from Japan>

Can any 1 help?

cheers

Adrian

No offical figures for 0-100 but it is in the 6's and that was just with a hand timer. Sourcing "Sick" body kits will be hard as you will need to import from Japan but the options there are quite good.

Getting 300kw is acheivable but you are looking at decent mods, I reckon you will get to 260kw easy enough (note easy not cheap) getting past that will be tougher. If you want 300kw I reckon you would be better off getting a Series 2 260RS, they will handle mods in excess of 300kw if your wallet is big enough and you have no Phobia of current fuel prices.

If it is M35 you desire then maybe looking at one of the 250RT or RS models and with the cash you save spend it on performance mods.

thanks Julius,

what Mods would you recommend??

Fit free fitting exhaust 1st. This takes the boost from around 8psi to around 14-15psi.

I have upgraded the suspension to bilstein shocks and springs plus upgraded to sway bars to solid 32mm on front and 24mm solid on the rear. This really improved the handling and balance of the car. This also lowered a ARX from around 180mm clearance to around 140mm.

That is as far as I have gone so far but other upgrades worth considering are shift kits (to improve speed of shift).

Cheers

Andy

As Andy said a free flowing exhaust, better and bigger turbo never hurt anyone, larger Intercooler, better ECU/Computer, improved induction.....that should help you get started. Serious mods will require changes to internals......

If you cant find stuff for the M35 Stag try similar parts on V35 Skylines many parts are 1 and the same.

"WARNING" If you plan to put serious horsies in the Stag invest in better brakes, 6 or 8 Pots will set you back about $2k a pair but will more than do the job. Common problem with most Japanese Performance wagons, great power average brakes........Make sure you find calipers that use easy available pads....

Hi AV,

This all comes back to how much you want to spend....like just about anything......$2,000, $20,000?

The below prices and figures are estimates that I have been working to....If you want more info please feel free to PM me.

Exhaust $1,200 (Charlestone Exhaust) please note that the boost jumps from 8psi to 15.5psi (probably gets you to about 240kw)

Turbo high flow and steel impellers $1,450

Intercooler $1,000

ECU(Haltec with dyno tune...P.s. The standard tune is very is shit so this should be a big improvement) $1,350

This should get you up to between 260kw and 275kw fairly easily at about 15PSI. As you can see done properly you are already at $5,000 and you have not even cracked the motor open yet. Another couple of $$$$ on the motor and turbo and you should quite easily get about 320KW to 340KW...would be interested to know if the VQ35 bit's would go into it as you could the quote easily look at 340KW!! Finding someone that can build a performance VQ25DET motor is you next problem.....I have seached high and low.

Next problem is the gearbox. The Shift is crap.....gearbox seems good though.

Shift Kit $450 (Andy found someone for this)

Stall convertor $800 (I am still searching....I may use Domanello's)

Oil cooler $200 (You can get them anywhere....it's a good safety upgrade due to Ozzie summer weather....yes I know last summer was shit...lol)

And finally now that you are traveling fairly well you need to stop and turn. I am not bias when saying this either....the AR-X although being higher and heavier probably has the best setup. e.g V-Hicas, Larger Rolling diameter, LSD rear diff is standard, 2 syncro settings, attessa.

Bilstein Suspension - $1,650 + fit $350

Sway bar's front and back $600 (See SydneyKid on forums)

Brakes - your guess...Brembo is about $2,500 from Northshore Prestige.

Anyway after all of that....you the have the fuel bills....and pushing 1,750kg's with a V6 2.5lt turbo ain't cheap

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
