MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :ermm:

Looks like I need to start saving....

Thanks to iamhe77 coming round and letting me have a drive, I am now convinced that I need to get into a M35...

Even the wife was convinced... :)

Thanks Mate..

don't be convinced till you've driven a 260 or a nicely modded rs4( some really good buys around at the moment)

I know, I know, but given that in 3 years the only mods on my R33 are a GTR exhaust, K&N Panel filter and the boost solenoid earthing, I really am looking at a stocker and the M35 is already producing way more torque than a modded RS4..

The other issue is, that the M35 is a bigger car than the C34 and that is the main reason for getting out of the R33 in the first place..

Well if you are not going the way of full performance mods (ie. turbo, injectors etc.) then a M35 would be good. M35 with rims, nicely lowered, nice exhaust and a decent stereo system is nice

a 260RS is a pleasure to drive (driven one - love to own one) but from what it sounds like you don't need a car like that...sure you get alot of people turning heads in a 260RS but an M35 you will as well...there are not many M35's around melbourne IMO (neither are S1's or S2's for that matter)

It really sounds like you want a cruiser car with a bit of power in reserve

Well I did get talked into it...

Now the proud owner of a shiny, unregistered AR-X...

Flipping RWC.... NSW one was fine, Vic, less so...

Anyone got a spare right hand tie rod lying around... :laugh:

Ben's got 3 other M35's in the yard. Tell him to take one off for you.

Cheers and welcome.

I think that one of them might be offering its rear window switch for my car anyway... Went to collect mine from Ben last week, and we all discovered that whilst the boot opens fine, the window does not...

It is just one of those things that maybe you use, maybe you don't, but if it doesn't work I know that I will need it one day...

You will use the rear window. It is much easier to open than the boot if just some thing small to put in.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
