So i've had a chance to drive the M35 for a few days since getting it back from tuning.

My main observations it that i'm already driving a lot heavier footed when i want the car to come on boost due to the lagg but i'm really enjoying it. The car sounds amazing as it hits boost with the increased air flow however i really need to do something about the exhaust. 3 inch stainless with front / dump and Apixi N1 cannon is simply way too loud for me. Not sure what i'll do but a bit of forum trolling will hopefully find an answer.

Overall i'm very happy. Big thanks for those that helped along the way.

All that's left once i sort the exhaust is doing something about the front bumper (this stocky one with the parking aid has to go).

I find my varex is too loud for me at times as well even with an xforce resonator so im looking at switching to a HKS silent hi power muffler to try and get the system quieter. It will eliminate the lower pressure in cabin sounds. I also find that the exhaust can have different db notes from bearable to unbearable at times.

Had a minor o-ring issue with the access to the fuel tank and the M35 was leaking fuel after a filled the tank up but all is fixed and it's perfect once again.

I got the muffler replaced today with something a little more appropriate sound-wise. Still 3 inch straight through but more factory looking. Much quieter than the Apexi N1 and the drone is much more tolerable :laugh:

Cool man what diameters did you use

60mm for the park 70mm for the indicator and 165 for the main lights if i was to do it again i would use a yellow/white 2 colour ring for the indicator signal led (has 2 positive wires and one negative) so it it will change colour depending on what cable you put power on, so it would flash yellow with the turn signal. other than that you probs just need a dremel to cut into the the plastic silver surround inside the headlight. headlights come apart just like normal. oven,heat gun or blow torch to warm up the silicone like rubber stuff then pull apart.Also depending on what look you're after you can get different types of leds just make sure its a cob led ring if u want a more solid ring of light!

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
