Since I've started playing around with and looking at mods for my m35, bloody difficult cars :)that and the last round of stirring 26 boys up ,i can see the 35 ending up with injectors high flow,shift kit I've got an emanage in the shed. Lol . But I need to finish the c34 off again first chuck the rest of the goodies that I got in and then the new engine build is planned for jan , so ready when the old one dies lol , more killa wasps

I think my S1 will still be running after WW3....in 18 months Ive rebuilt the suspension and steering, slapped a rebuilt turbo on it and put a shift kit in. That breathed new life into a soggy auto wagon. Probably should have waited and spent the coin on a S2 manual back in the day.....

Haha, good name for a thread Toby. :P

I feel like a thief its by far been the greatest mod to date!!

Can only imagine what the commercial performance shop would charge for this upgrade on a customers vehicle.

Cheers bloke

I just don't know about this nm35 cosmetic looks and improvments all good ill continue on, but as far as performance mods starting to think there like throwing money down the pokies , you might get a little return now and then but nothing like what you throw into it lol. I'm not looking forward to the day the turbo goes, coz I know there will be no way ill replace it with a standard! And that leads to everything else getting done lol

First im new owner of this bus but long time car nut....

Cant say ive ever seen a vehicle that is cheap to mod!! Different Horses for different courses.. Right?

I feel the fact nm35 has limited mod allowances prevents the crazy $$ on cars that you see up on the hoist or in the corner for 6/12 months in every performance workshop or owner garage.

Not to mention the seemingly willing crowd of owners to share tried & tested upgrades in great detail at no cost!!!

Bang 4Buck?

Looks pretty clear to me.

But i guess I'm like yourself in that I cant make this complete assumption until the package planned is assembled installed and I get to enjoy it everyday.

Considering the expansive range of performance parts on offer (compared to when I started down that road), you guys have no issues modifying the M35. You should have seen the (non existent) range 5 years ago.

Price wise, the performance parts are on par with any other car imo, unless some Chinese bloke is pumping out crap products as with the Skyline...

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
