35 Pre And Post Modification Impressions/comparison


Recommended Posts

Guys,

ANyone who has modded their 35 I would like to hear your before and after driving impressions.

Does anyone think it was unneccesarry or that the car is now too loud etc ??

I am stoked with standard package (cant believe I am saying that) but am still considering:

1. mid pipe

2. Cobb Tune

3. Aftermarket brake pads

4. Dunlops to replace Bridgestones.

Before mods my car was capable of:

0-100 3.7

0 - 400 m 11.7

After mods:

0 - 100 2.9

0 - 400 10.8

Its my daily drive, and I literally drive 17km in peak hour to work every day. If I put it in auto and just cruise it is totally ok to live with. If I want I can turn it into a loud angry beast at the push of a button or two. The Dunlops are about two seconds quicker around Oran Park than the Bridgestones (ask White 35), the aftermarket pads transform the braking experience.

To honest when I get in a stock R35 now, it feels quite lacking in personality. And there is a big difference in acceleration.

Just do it!

So what would be the approximate cost and the extent of mods to achieve this 0.8 sec improvement?

Minimum $12k t0 $20k

0.8 doesn't sound like a big improvement does it! Its still a 22% improvement. Power went from 295 atw to 401 atw. The torque improved by bucketloads as well. It feels so different to drive compared to a stocker.

That said for a few bucks you could still get a cobb and mid pipe and do a 3.3 second 0 - 100 and an 11. 3 quarter mile or better. You certainly dont need all the gear I've got to get good gains.......but boy its fun.

I think if you did all of that you'd be very glad that you did. :devil:

Well, to continue worshipping you, perhaps he should wear a helmet the next time he does 250 kph.... or is this picture off Mt.Panorama? LOL

Edited by GT-Ricer

My gtr is stock at the moment but Im getting the HKS GT600 kit fitted mid april. Plus some other parts like hks fmic, titatinum zaust, trans cooler etc... If that doesnt scare me enough it will get the GT800 package when it comes out around June.

Il post some pics of the package when its done and what my thoughts are.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
