Have you considered a Ford XR5? The 2.5l 5pot is a volvo motor (C30) capable of some high HP with tweaking and add ons. Have you seen the Top Gear episode where they put the current Rex & Ford RS up against the prototype Volvo C30T5R.....must watch.

Hey Roy,

So I take it that your V35 coupe will be sold after mechanical inspection go ok? I can tell you that you will miss it. :P

For me, Evo are cars that have better use on the track because they are built mainly for that purpose. Being a four door sedan might have advantage over a coupe. But I don't think you can compare an Evo with V35 coupe.

I say, go for an Evo if you want to have a car that you can take it to the track anytime you want, maybe abit more practical than V35 coupe but don't mind about the interior quality.

Stay with V35 coupe (or even upgrade to V36 coupe) if you enjoy a quality cruise factor and don't mind having a coupe in your family.

Good luck either way. Remember, it's you that have to drive and live with it. :)

i do miss it.... in fact the buyer dropped me off back at the office and when I saw him drive away with the car, kinda wished i had kept it :)

new car is a blast to drive but... it is stock standard at the moment, but it's the best way to start the road to modifications ( to steal the words of smirnoff ...purity of a blank canvas)

Well, there's no looking back now. At least you had fun with us with our V35's. :)

What car did you get by the way?

Settled on an evo x , after contemplating all the comments and feedback just went with my first choice and honestly i think its the best choice. Good balance between power, handling, looks and practicality

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
