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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
