Hey guys ,

Im feeling the mod bug and After my research i have decided on :

PERFORMANCE : MOTORDYNE SPACER 5/16"

K&N DROP IN FILTER

Z-TUBE

EXTERIOR : CLEAR CORNERS

I currently have a Fujitsubo exhaust system im told i have high flow cats .Can someone tell me how i can comfirm this i have no idea what they look like. I have the impul ecu installed which nobody can tune. Another question after i install these performance mods i read im suppose to re-tune the ecu do i have to do this as well. I did i dyno run (161.4rwkw ) and the guy said it's running alittle rich at the end so i figured added this will even itself out am i right ?

Also got the nismo lip kit , recaro seats , advan 151c 19" wheels.

Where is the cheapest place to get all this? Riverside infinity? everythingg35 ? And with the k&n filter im really keen on getting that whitlsing sound will i get it ? Does anyone else have any idea what i should invest in appearance wise ? i was thinking about a rim change my pic below .

How much is those sway bars and whats the best one to get and from where ?

Thanks in advance .

about the whilst sound, i installed my JW intake, and is having that sound, BUT I am not sure if it is caused by a leak or wat, as i installed it myself (i m still a beginner!!) performance gain? MOST people will say there is NONE.. read more.. on this forum or G35driver.

yeah i read about the JW pop charger . I know with this alone no performance but combined with spacer and z-tube i heard good things!

i Do hv the spacer and cf tube in.. erm.. do i 'feel' a gain.. ? i m not sure too..

mayb coz i don hv a new ecu yet.. trying to source one but not sure which is the most suitable choice..

You will not get the whitlsing sound from the K&N drop in filter. Combo of the spacer and JWT on my V35 was a total of 15kw gain to the wheels. But I do need to re-tune the ECU to get full benifit from my mods.

Watch my vid to hear the JWT filter with Z tube and Spacer.

thanks im just bored with them. But what about the performance parts where do i get them how much should i be expecting to pay?

$400 for a spacer $400 for JWT filter and Z-Tube $60 for clear side markers :)

i have over priced

Thanks Paul . I heard the jwt filter has some problems with over heating or something about heat soak . Do you know what they mean ? I guess the spacer at riverside inifinity at $220us is the cheapest . Is there any other mods you can suggest either in performance wise or appearance? How can I tell if I have high flow cats ?

Because the Z-tube is plastic heat soak is not bad at all and some people don't put the heat sheild on over the pod filter and that then sucks heaps of hot air in.

Skunk2 spacer is the easiest to put on.

Don't know about the high flow cat (look under the car does it looks differnet to others?)

Strut Brace then ECU upgrade is the next thing for me

My body kit looks good :) "Ken Stlye"

Custom paint or Turbo/Supercharger will be on the list if money comes my way.

I'm not worried about install going to get the pros to do it. And with thepop charger might just stick with the drop in filter I don't want to be putting heat shields. As for super charger would love too but don't have the paper work for it .

Thanks for your input Paul

Have youhad a power run with your mods on yet?

hey manda23 that front lip on your car isnt the nismo lip it is actually just the factory nissan aftermarket lip... correct me someone if i am wrong.

I'm not sure . Someone told me I have the nismo

lip kit with includes the front lip and the rear spolier . I have no idea what the difference is.

What price do you think I should sell my wheels for they are pretty rare on our shores and fit our car perfect. I wanna get some volks for a change of looks I'm tired at looking at the same thing.

Are you serious ? Which spacer do you have and do you still have the factory air filter I read people are getting between 10-20kwatts from these modifications

I'm not sure . Someone told me I have the nismo

Unfortunately Blistc is right on the money there...

Whoever told you got Nismo stuff don't know the difference between a hazelnut and an almond nut.

You have factory nissan front spoiler and factory nissan rear spoiler. I'm actually ordering that exact front spoiler from japanparts, but i'm not getting the rear spoiler. not a fan of wings, really.

here is factory NISSAN rear spoiler:

and here is NISMO rear spoiler - elevated with gaps between the boot and the wing... you can tell the difference straight away....

factory Nissan front lip = what you have

post-328-1243117463_thumb.jpg

NISMO front lip - the protruding lip section is smaller and 'sharper' towards the bottom of the lips, and there was no curving up on the rounded corner of both sides that wraps around the bumper...

177KW at the wheels. best run was 178kw but could not get 2 runs the same

Paul,

Doesn't the stock v35 pull 170kw at the wheels?

What did you have at the wheels before the spacer and jwt?

I want a performance upgrade as well...but there doesnt seem to be anycost effective options for the v35!

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
