Haven't added any performance mods since my trip to willall last year. I bought some GFB Bovs (to replace my HKS SSQV 4's) that i need to install

all cosmetic.....

Top Racing dry carbon mirrors and thicker flat bottom steering wheel

Just needs to be a bit shinier...

No, seriously you have done an awesome job with this car. I saw it in the flesh at that meeting and it looks mint!

BTW you are lucky not to have been showered with gravel from that idiot in the drag car.

u have some nads putting that buffing machine on your car - u obviously know what you're doing :)

what is the advantage of running a thicker steering wheel?

i luv that lobster back exhaust system - is that titanium? if so, u must have a sound clip to hear this!

using buffing machines comes with practice, it's not that hard. Nissan, and most jdm's, have soft clear coats, so you do have to be careful around panel edges. Flip side is you don't have to go too aggressive with your pad and polish combo to remove defects

yeh my exhaust from midpipe back is 90mm titanium. I have catless downpipes and my midpipe has 2 small high flow cats, though with e85 I really don't need the cats as there's minimal carbon emissions and no blac smoke on full throttle. I may go full catless when I switch to an SD tune - I still have my catless midpipe in storage

I've tried to make sound vids with my gopro but always just end up with a lot of wind noise

My car sounds pretty much identical to this but with the HKS bov flutter - most of the sound comes from catless down pipes and midpipe

just finished up a paint correction with my mate Dan who is a pro detailer - idea was with both of us working at same time we'd get through it a lot quicker, but we soon decided to go all out, and 3 days later.....

protected with opticoat 2.0 which should offer some much needed scratch resistance for this solid black paint and super soft clear

how's your r35 purchase coming along Kenny?

lol @ my first page comments on buying drums of e85 and daily driving on 98

been daily driving on e85 since i got the car back (with the occasional interstate road trip on 98), and now likewise my evo x, thanks to the awesome pump e85 rollout of united here in Melb and their QLD refinery turning sorghum grains into super cheap go fast goodness

Hmmmmmm nah... too much bling bling. If they were anodised black, I'd say yes, but chrome? But each to their own of course! :D

Was it an easy install? do the stockies simply pull off?

went to heathcote with a few other r35s

was a hot and very busy day, only managed 2 runs as the wait was well over an hour - unfortunately with calder closing, this is going to be the norm, and may even get worse

track temp was in mid 30s and intake temps in the mid 70s waiting in the que with aircon on

ran a 10.9 in full auto RRR with LC4 @3200rpm. traction light was blinking through 2nd and 3rd but i didn't really feel the acceleration slow. if i had another run i would have run with traction off, or even tried uploading lc5 for a higher launch rpm. still not a bad result given i was on 21" yokohama advan street tyres - enough to pip the trailored in tub'd vk drag car next to me lol

will be keen to go back in the cooler months, and possibly a bigger cooler by then

ignore trap speed, i lucked out with getting the right hand lane which apparently is off. should be in the low 130's i believe

first r35 in Aus to officially run a 10 with 21" street tyres?

Nice one Sam, what was the 60-130 mph time out of interest? 7.5 or so?

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
