dont do springs before shocks!!! they go pop and car rides badly...

IMO, Do shocks, then mower, then ECU, then brakes, then kit...

What area are you in too be on that much land :)

Heh, certainly NOT Toorak, that is for sure!

(Damn Man! Can you imagine owning a hectare in Toorak - retirement here I come)

Thanks for the hints on springs guys.

Just changed it to a Poll.

Hey! The option was there, why not use it?

ECU + FMIC is the way to go...'cause you already has the 3"turbo back+hi flow ,so your rocket will be ready for take off'(except you have a really good deal with any other part... :) ...deals first ,don't loose them...aaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggggghhh the eternal question WHAT TO DO?????????? :)

i'd say do the suspension and brakes first before you make it go any faster, better to be over equipped for the more HP than under- equipped in my opinion anyway, thats the way i would do, have everything setup so that when all of a sudden you gain an extra 40- 50kw you have all the bits and pieces to make you handle and pull up in time to do it with.

Bradd/

Mate, do the ECU no question, I have an S2 stagea and with mild mods had it dynoed at 163kw. Had an Emanage Ultimate and a Gizzmo EBC fitted and am now doing 203kw at the wheels best money I ever spent plus I reckon I get close to 100ks extra out of a tank. Have a look in the ECU and tuning discussion.

I did all the suspension first e.g. Coilovers / bushes and although i love the way it handles It certainly didn't give me the same thrill as 40kw. Also you may want to think about this when your replacing suspension especially with sportier stuff you may find you have to replace anything with significant wear e.g. bushes and so on as the added strain of sportier suspension plus the change to your driving (You naturally drive a sporty handling car faster imo) will force you to replace these parts else they will wear pretty quick.

My 2 cents anyway. (Wish I had some cash at the moment for some new mods)

so with the e manage ultimate , you buy the unit then you take it to a tuner yes ??? he does all the data and hey presto extra kw's , bettr fuel economy , etc , etc

PRICE ? I'VE SEN THE UNITS FOR ABOUT $1200 , so then i have to pay to have it fitted and tuned for my car ?? :laugh:

You haven't mentioned with your current set up a front mount intercooler (if you have I'm blind) anywayz, if you haven't a front mount, I would go that before anything else.

The M35 has a FMIC although small. He just wants a bigger one. You know , bigger is better.

Definitely the Bilsteins (and swaybars if you can manage). On the highway your average speed will be way up through not having to slow for corners so much and also save on brakes and petrol through not slowing down and speeding up. Stagea brakes are not their weak point anyway unless you want to go racing. I can't see these ecu remaps coming out any time soon just get second hand SITC and SAFC in the meantime. And get some sheep you can eat them at Christmas.

We know what happens to sheep in the land of the long white cloud. I never knew you actually eat them. How gross. LOL.

so with the e manage ultimate , you buy the unit then you take it to a tuner yes ??? he does all the data and hey presto extra kw's , bettr fuel economy , etc , etc

I dunno how much you would actually gain from just installing an Emanage. I ad the following initial mods and then instaled the Emanage

S2 Stagea Neo

3" fujitsubo Front Pipe and Catback

3" Metal Cat

Trust Front mount

Trust Blow Off Valve

Trust Pod

All that equaled 163awkw on the dyno. (Remembering that a s2 neo is quoted at 206kw as factory although this is measured at the fly i believe)

Install Emanage and Gizzmo ebc hey presto 203kw on 12 pounds of boost, plus the emanage removes the 2 stage boost the stageas have so full boost all the time :(

All this talk of suspension is making me wish I bid on that Nismo suspension in Import Monster a month ago.

6 months old (but, really how can you tell?) in good condition (from photos) for $730 delivered.

BAH!

How the Gods of time mock thee!

$730 delivered!!!!!!!!!!! holy crap! ill be checking out that site methinks

Nah, long gone by now.

Had different numbers than the "official" M35 nismo suspension... but then I saw a thread here with pics of a Nismo M35 spring and it had the SAME NUMBERS as the auction kit! ;)

Could have started tearing throats out if I was around people at that point :)

Edited by iamhe77

I'd say FMIC and ECU...you would definitely notice power gains and fuel savings and with suspension...they will always be there but given the current exchange rate...it's murder to get a set from Japan

I've gotta save up the pennies for a Nistune ECU board so then i can finally install my turbo (HKS GT2535) and get the ECU done and tune it up

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
