and the rear diff having more load now?

Did the 350z have the TCU inside or outside the gearbox?

I have a feeling mine shifts faster than you guys. I have even chirped 2nd.... don't know how.

One thing I have noticed is that if you slow the car down going down the gears but don't come to a stop, and floor it back in 1st, it will shift harder, more pressure I guess. Anyone else noticed?

nah TCU outside the gearbox. but was a 'series 2' like yours where the loom exited the gearbox via a plug in the top with a circlip holding it in place.

Pics OR Vid of skids from Texi - or it didn't happen.

[dasic1]

Dose anyone have any info on a Gialla exhaust for a M35. Size, noise ect is it any good

[iamhe77]

All I can find is that it has two 90mm outlets and is JASMA certified ie under 95dB @ 3000rpm.

Will check my HyperRev tonight or tomorrow for pipe diameter.

Speaking of Texi, who else has entered? Bodella has stumped up the entry fee, and if no-one else brings their LOLvo along, then I am disappoint!

[Duncan]

I'm entering texi too

[PN-Mad]

I want to get into Texi, but hopefully my car will be in pieces by then. So I'll have to miss out on this one.

Desperately in need of someone with skill to show me how to drive trackdays/texi. Hopefully someone will oblige when the time is right

[Duncan]

come along to the track day in december if you can't make texi, there will be instructors and beginner's sessions there

Once Ive completed the run-in of the forged bottom end & had the final tune performed I might consider selling the stagea.

Im a bit over it now, cant afford for anything to go wrong while I put myself through University over the next 4-5yrs.

Car cost me 18k 6yrs ago and sunk in excess of 32k into it with all the bolt-ons, tunes over the years, etc etc.

What would it be worth on the market do you think?

Mirror rust hasnt been attended to, and bodywork has scratches etc, but mechanically its fresh and good for 300rwkw if pushed.

Dont think its worth selling, but Id be screwed IF I got defected by the over-zealous officer Neil we have here in adelaide.

forged CP bottom end, ported Tomei head, gt3076r, 3" turbo back, bilstein suspension, whiteline bars/bushes, 324mm brakes, chipped ecu, tuneable piggyback, trust fmic, bosch 040, S15 450cc injectors, etc etc.

Not enough! Real shame!

Not enough! Real shame!

yeah I know

Its advertised here on SAU, only. Genuine reason for sale - House still hasnt sold yet after half a year under contract, I cant afford morgage repayments & am on the absolute bones of my arse. Pretty much hit rock bottom 2 months ago, which is a good thing in all honesty as I made myself get off the medication that sent me crazy. 40days drug free and in a great place mentally now.

Heart says Im silly to "give it away", head says to be smart about it. University is my #1 priority for the next 4 or 5 years.

I'll get stuff all back from the house sale, when it eventually sells (been screwed over by the agent),and will need it all to cover living costs.

Funds will be too scarce while at Uni to run the risk of anything going wrong, even general maintenance, on the Stagea.

I really dont want to see it gone, but all my time will be focused on succeeding with the Medical Radiation Science course. For the first time I just dont see my pride & joy being in my future - however I now see a future for myself. Just need a little run around car to run errands as I'll be using public transport during the weekdays to/from Uni in the city.

Considering Ive spent well over 50k all up, including car purchase, 15k is probably letting it go too easily, but perhaps its the right option in my current circumstances. Whom ever buys it, whenever that happens, will be getting something pretty special.

Sad about it, nonetheless.

Thoughts on whether or not my car should have a black grille? I'm very much on the fence.
