I've just fitted the Willall cat-back Titanium exhaust system in conjunction with the Cobb Accessport flash using the Willall map for 98+ RON fuel. Initially, I considered the Akrapovic system but the value, the "home-grown" support and the performance offered by Willall swayed me in their direction. After a minor glitch with a scratched Cobb screen I got to drive the end result yesterday after having my Nissan dealer fit the exhaust. I've owned tuned EVO's and Porsches, ridden Superbikes for years and driven open-wheelers at track days. None have managed to combine the noise, handling and shocking acceleration of the GTR with ca. 630+ bhp. I bought the Cobb Accessport with TCM but haven't given it the 3,300 rpm launch so wait out for more feedback.

What Willall tune did you get? The Stage III 98 RON one?

I think these cars all vary a bit but I had Cobb with Willall custom tune

and just a midpipe ages ago and gained almost 25% power at the wheels.

Its hard to work out flywheel horsepower exactly but this claim does sound

quite realistic.

I have not had a chance to go in Keirs R35 since he put the new "built"

engine and turbos on it, but with over 500 awkw that makes it approx

80% increase over std power!

Totally amazing cars. And they can hook up the power which makes them all the

more impressive.

I am sure they are plenty of commodores and falcons cruising around with

500kw at the wheels these days, but whats the point if you can't put it down?

And the result is............. the 2011 model made 313 rwkw standard and jumped to 361rwkw

with the Willall midpipe and COBB tune. Thats a 15% increase!

Car feels amazing to drive now, much more mid range torque, and the power feels more linear.

Haven't had time to get up in the hills yet, but from what i have experienced so far - Amazing difference.

Hi Guys, I'm sure this has been covered but I could not find - what stock power is an MY09/10 R35 GTR at the wheels, before and after Mid-pipe and Stage 1 COBB tune (98RON)???

Roughly...

Cheers,

Ed

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.

      100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)

      Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
