Well last week the m35 was fiited with a custom 3inch stainless full exhaust, high flow cat, and magflow muffler. As a result, i now need a boost controller to keep check on boost levels. this is booked in for next week. I have also replaced the stock 17' rims with much better 19's. and plan new suspension with the intention of lowering the car. if any one knows what suspension works on the 2001 rs4's can you please let me know!

Pics please?

I have BC coilovers in my NM35, height preload and damper adjustable for around $1200 -$1300. Will run from stock height to snow plow. But there are quite a few other options. Good luck!

I went to see Sam, RED513 yesterday. It is nice to talk with like minded souls.

Anyway I took the plenum off today and secured all the water lines as Sam suggested. Tomorrow I will relocate the fuel filter and relocate the relocated oil filter. Also give the cold start a good clean and clean the injectors.

I buggered the plenum gasket so will get a new one Tuesday. Hols tomorrow. Then its back together Wednesday.

Cleaned and polished headlights. Lots of japanese air grime came off. I think i might need to do it again soon though. Whilst rinsing, i noticed i missed a little bit. Have to do it once i regain strength in my arm (damn circular motion)

picked up 3" mild steel exhaust cat back from an R32 member and fitted it up - drove around for a day before deciding it was too loud and the drone was killing me...

Went to hitech mufflers and after being ripped a new one by lambros I now have a 3" stainless steel dual tip exhaust which sounds much nicer.... still need to replace the mid muffler as its still a bit loud for me...

Anybody else find their aftermarket exhaust is droney around the 2k range??

Yep, I do.

It doesn't matter how many resonators you fit, it wont cut down the drone. You need a large body muffler fitted to remove that frequency.

If you check out the Japanese full systems they have some weird ways of getting around the drone with dead end mufflers etc.

Fujitsubo Legalis FTW! :D

The Legalis has a "dead nd" resonator which I assume is the reason for the lack of drone.

Brilliant design which has impressed more than one exhaust "professional" lol

Im starting to think I should of just forked out for an off the shelf jap exhaust... Unfortunately its too late for me to turn back now!! Large body muffler? WHich part are you referring to? the mid muffler? Any brand / size you can recommend?

Just recived my BC coilovers and fitted 2 out of the four, ( my friend want to have a look at them before i can fit them all )

just a word of warning, dont pull the original BC box out of the delivery box because sometimes its not taped up which means every thing lands on the floor and your nice shinny coilovers are now scratched

and chipped :thumbsup:

just need to get some wheels and its back on the road :)

ps anyone have a set of instruction for these things? yes mine didnt come with

Any Jap Jasma labeled exhaust is perfect as it has passed their noise test laws at the factory.

Its just the muffler you need to replace, the larger the body the more it will dampen the drone noise. I havent found any suitable ones in Australia yet, They seem to cater to the Ford and Holden crowd that want a nice rumble. I will probably make my own when the time comes.

Punk72, I have the BC's fitted to my M35 but they didn't come with instructions mate, they didn't even fit, I had to modify them. How was your install?

if you need a hand let me know and i can come round and tell you what i know

i've adjusted a few coilovers b4 but im no pro, if you get everything setup near to how you want it just take it to a good suspension place and get a 4 wheel alingnment done

scotty nm35 yeah they fitted really easy 10 min on each and they are in, I was just cleaning up all the boxes they came in and i found the instruction, they must have fallen out with everything else.

They are set about 60mm to short so i have got a fair bit of adjusting to do.

pipster11 Its going to be a couple of weeks before i get the wheels organised so i should have it all sorted by then. thanks any way, doesnt mean we cant catch up so i can show off the setup :D

cheers

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
