Hey Ryan what t10 led globes did you get?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120782819640?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

They look pretty good, and delivery was fast.

I'd like to get some LED indicators too but doesn't look like I'm going to have much luck there. I am tempted to buy some of the T20s I've seen on ebay and try them - some claim to have a resister to stop the 'fast blinking' problem you can get.

Did the brake wire cut on the M35 today. Connected the wire to the reverse lights (thanks for that handy idea Leon) so everytime I reverse and hold the brake on a little the ECU sees the connection to keep the ECU/CEL happy.

Haven't test driven it yet, will do tomorrow and hopefully feel the results.

I initially wasn't going to do this mod until yesterday when I tried to jump across one lane of traffic and ended up sitting a couple inches higher in my seat lol.

:thumbsup: . I think I might do the same. I've done enough testing so no benefit in being able to switch it on & off anymore. I can't see any downside in leaving it on permanently. I mean, no one is forcing me to use it in anger... That will also free up a much needed switch position. Byebye fun switch :action-smiley-069: . And why a couple of inches higher in your seet? From butt clenching?

Oh, btw, with it connected to the reverse lights, the application of the brake has no bearing on things. So there could be an occasion where you will bring the CEL, but it's highly unlikely. Eg, you fill up your car & then pull out onto the freeway & don't stop (ie go into reverse) for 700km+ (driving reasonably economically). It may be that the ECU says 'why haven't I seen 12V from the brake in so long?' & throws a code. Good news is it doesn't seem to cause any problems, at least not straight away from my experience. And when you pull in for fuel & slide the lever into park, just pause for a second or two in reverse & you're clear.

Let us know your experience after driving with it for a while as there's been mixed reports.

Sitting higher as I stacked my dacks some what.

Thanks for explaining how it works a little more, no i u derstand why you guys had to tap the brakes when tou reconnect. The longest drive I do is around 250km to the riverland with a quick stop at my favorite bakery so it will see reverse quite often.

I'll post up my thoughts on it in a week after I have a bit of a play.

Cheers

Well the new RDA slotted discs and HPX pads went on with the new oil etc. on Friday as planned and feel great!! No shudders...

Had a meeting at Suzuki this morning, way out west, and on the way back drove past Niss4x4.... I wonder.... might they have a V35 coupe... And they did, and it had a stock exhaust!! $110 later it was off the V35 and in my boot.

6 nuts removed and less than an hour later with 5 of them refitted (removed the spare exhaust hanger), it is now happily under my car... Had to give the propshaft shield a gentle tap with the medium blunt object, but all good....

Loving the burrrrrrrrrrrrrrple on idle, no drone, and still very quiet on cruise..

Very happy man.. :thumbsup:

Great job mate. Easy isn't it!Best kept secret, can't believe nobody gave it a ago before me.

Slippy, it is the 350z that needs a bit of extension.

FINALLY Finally Finally after 3 years, and massive mess arounds and waaaay too much $ invested, I got the roof rail replacements fitted! They needed a ridiculous amount of prep work to get on (not naming names, but if I were the workshop who made these, I'd be ashamed to present it as a finished product), and the end ressult is far enough from from perfect that I'm pretty sure I'll crack it in the next year or so and have them re-engineered yet again for a better result, but it's still massively better than no rails! Am I ecstatic? nope, but still very happy that my car actually looks whole (even if it is from a distance)...

V35 ditches the 20kg box of baffles doesn't it? There's a huge benefit there alone.

Bloody hell I didnt realize it's that heavy. I wouldn't mind a better flowing mid pipe but need to keep it quiet to keep the boss happy. I like the idea of using the v35 mid pipe with the a/market dump and front pipe as it would flow a heap better than stock and still be quiet and a cheap upgrade.

Yup, it is a heavy bitch. Nick will back me up I'm sure! Can't say that I saw a difference in performance, but being na at the time, it's not surprising.Look, it's a cheap upgrade for those looking for a bit more note, bit more performance. It won't hold it's own against a proper aftermarket exhaust but I never said it would. It is a bigger pipe, with a resonator compared to a muffler. Hopefuly Nick should post some vids. I wouldn't compare it to my nismo though!

looks good micah, at least from a distance anyway.

That's why I kept the pics small! thumbsup.gif

Close up they're a bit rippled, and the fit is is a 9/10, but I'm happy for the time being....

Got done by the highway patrol man dam it , too low too noisy dam dam dam ,varex only work when u see the boys in blue ,the pain of it all , so today i got busted in my stag

the next day i ring the exhaust guy and the suspension guy dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
