Installed a JJR oil cooler and relocation kit today, replacing the Greddy oil relocation kit I had. The JJR kit has proper AN fittings, the Greddy one uses standard hose clamps.

I was searching around on the net for my exhaust and I found the original for sale thread from the person who imported my c34. It had a list of items and mods that seemed similar to mine so I called the number and we ended up chatting for an hour on everything that he bought and did to the car once he imported it on '08. Turns out everything was done right the first time and left all of my questions answered, I was extremely happy and he was too after hearing the car was left unchanged for soo long, and the car had been very well looked after.

Calling him was probably the best thing I have done to the car, and he had me thinking about his list of mods he was going to do, as we all know most old school info is lost in the 'archives' and ppl saying 'do a search ffs'

Knowing that your pride and joy has been in the hands of someone who knew what they were doing and loved the car is a great feeling, and knowing that you bought the car with all the parts are still there is even better. (Well the owner I bought it from pulled 2 parts just before I bought it)

BAM! PADDLESHIFT.

I only have one word for them... easy. Easy to install, easy to use, easy to adjust.

Longest part was modifying the plastic trim. I've still got to adjust them abit more, but they awesome!!

Put in my Whiteline front and rear swaybars this afternoon. Found an oil leak from the oil cooler I put in last week, one of the hoses was a bit loose. Hopefully I have fixed that now.

Took the car for a spin tonight up to the shops. It feels different from before a little. I might take it for a good strap in a day or two in the Hills. I also want to try out my new GoPro too.

i'd like to continue showing Russian fabrication if it is allowed to puplic such dirty cars (we have annoying dirt on all-the-road surface)

finished with exhaust parts with V-band clamps

i still run oem-like IMPUL ECU.

leks-auto(probably, you know him) runs F-con

others run stock-like nismo, impul, mines

now lookig for decision on this field, cause have lots of plans on the car. mechanical fabrication is easy with good team, but our ECU is a piece of hedache..

this affects M35's only

we already have 2001 axis with vq35de swapped on stock vq25det loom&injectors&afm&ecu (hydravlical cam's controllers are re-pinned, and they are controlled almoust correctly), this car extremely needs in ecu, mine is also waiting in bigger turbo, but we are at loss in this question... may be there is a thread in ECU replacement?

as for me, i plan to install Halteck platinum 2000 in piggy-back style, to save A/C and so on

the main problem is in AT - once it loose AFM signal, it is going to be mad, loosing plate's pression, lack of clutch in it during recievig big torque from engine - overwear in minutes.

i don't know what to do with this.

may be you have already solved, how to trick it?

Nope, we haven't got a good ecu option either. People use nismo, Impul etc stock ecus. We have cans with emanage piggy backs, we have a few FCon cars too.

I did have success with Uprev with the series 2 cars, and that can now be used to re flash for NA or Turbo applications on the vq35de.

Any cars made 1/4 mile times in Russia?

it's an awful lack of dragstrips now - so we don't have proved times at all, also our community is times smaller than yours - so legal drag is just for rich men, illegal street racing is not my choice)

i'm official in Russiam Drift Series, it is prohibited by our rules, to race on streets in any kind

we have web-site with the only legal drag group - http://www.dragtimes.ru/en/results/allresults#quarterofmile

there is one Stagea :whistling:

at the same time - our government almost prohibited to buy used cars abroad by huge taxes, so far away we will loose wonderful JDM cars at common

uprev is good for vq35 - we have one CPV35 skyline on vq25det kit with bigger turbo, it is nicely driven with LHD oem later ecu from z33, and owner tells it is ultimatively versatile and reliable, your right

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
