As some would know, I also bought a Fujubitso exhaust off of Eugene and attempted to fit that tonight, unfortunately the previous owner had a exhaust custom made and I am unable to fit the new exhaust because of some pipe being moved around and so on. This will all happen tomorrow when I take my car to a very reputable exhaust shop on the GC. Ill try to get a qoute for a dump pipe too but I think ill still go for the $420 ebay job.

Heres some videos after taking off my HUGE suitcase muffler.

So yes, fun day for me. For anyone interested, the Lenso wheels will be for sale very shortly. They are 18x8 +35 all round. After $1100.

Cheers

Cameron

We have the same wheels on our S2. Take note that there is a Front Pair and a Rear Pair (assuming they came off the same car). The offsets are the same back the backspacing was slightly different. Ours were miss matched, eg. Front axles had a Front wheel and a Rear wheel. Same for the back.

Only reason we noticed was because one of the rear tyres was catching on the strut and slicing the side of the tyre. Only during cornering when there is the sidewall flex. It was only when we had both rear wheels off that we notice the inside numbering being different. And the words Front and Rear.

Even though this was probably specific to the 350Z we had all tyres stripped and the wheels fitted to the right axles.

So even the M35's are a little different underneath keep and eye on them and you might save yourself a set of tyres :cool:

    • I'm confirming the "2 way" Nismos can be converted to 1.5's very easily as you already described. It's well detailed in the manual. I can scan mine if you need, I think I still have it laying around somewhere. 
    • Well, its worth noting that 450+ is probably enough to get you to church on time each Sunday already..... You mentioned cams, did you upgrade the valve springs as well? Factory ones will be well past their use case by now. And yes, the hydraulic lifters are likely to limit your usable rpms and AFAIK you need a (now rare and expensive) head swap to rb26 or even better rb25neo for that (to retain VCT) I don't think 4"/3.5" should be a restriction. What about the intake, do you have an upsized intercooler and what is the throttle body?
    • I also second realdash. I have it on my head unit as a secondary cluster talking canbus with my ecu. Works great. 
    • Something like this -  You can buy the arms in different lengths too. The suction cup goes to the windscreen. 
    • I do have an adjustable exhaust cam gear but I always presumed these only lead to minor changes. I'll play around with it next week and report back. Also wouldn't advancing, not retarding shift that power down lower?  We played around with VCT last year and it made more power with it on until redline. I had read somewhere that this is often the case with short runner intakes like I'm running but I'll revisit this after adjusting my exhaust cam.  I have a 4" downpipe and 3.5" line with two open dumps. I'm thinking back pressure would only start to be an issue at 35+ psi. I often hear people state things like "oh my turbo really only wakes up past 30psi" which goes against everything I know about centrifugal compressors. Is there any actual logic to this?  Thanks for the help dose.
