Picking up my new white 2010 GTR on Monday (very excited)

Tested their silver one a week ago (huge grin factor). Very subdued on the sound department.

First thing on my agenda a top quality exhaust upgrade (power, sound, lighter)

With so many out there HKS, AMUSE e.t.c is there a top 3 in peoples minds?

What consideration do I need to give? e.g. Y pipe, straight pipe e.t.c

Are there GTR 35 owners here who have upgraded a full dual exhaust system and which and why did you choose the one you have?

Cheers

I am also looking to change the exhaust. Does anyone know anything about the Stillen cat back system. A bloke from Tassie I met said he put one on his R35 and he reckons it sounds awesome. Does anyone know if Nissan voids the new car warranty if you mod the exhaust (cat back only).

your whole car warranty cannot be voided by a single mod. advice on the forums and internet is not worth much in a dealership or in the law courts but in general if the non-genuine part can be identified as the cause for the problem under warranty claim (eg: turbocharger problem or something even slightly related to the exhaust) then nissan may not honour your warranty, even if it is BS.

if your aircon stops working or a suspension component fails of course nissan would find it hard to refuse warranty for the sake of a midpipe.

I would say you would be very unlucky to have a midpipe or catback cause a problem that will void a warranty claim but it is conceivable so do so at your own risk.

I might add though that you would be hard pressed to find an R35 on this forum without at least a midpipe these days!

Do you need to do a retune if you do a midpipe. I was led to believe that no retune is required if you only change the catback system.

you dont need to do a retune, but a COBB stage 2 or Mail order tune form Willall or similar will maximise the benefits. Once you reflash the ECU however nissan will start flapping their arms more than with just the midpipe/catback.

For those that live in SE Qld the Mercury guys have the COBB tuning software to provide custom tunes. otherwise people have had good success with Martins Willall mailorder tune. A custom tune will give you just that little bit extra in most cases from what

I have been told.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
