Time for a wire in Link/Vipec!

Whilst I would love a G4 extreme there is no VQ25 base map, which means no cams. Link didn't want to help unfortunately, nor Haltech. Not enough of a market. I will have to wait until the VQ35 goes in then get the plugin.

So no hope of AWD manual without adapting a R34 GTR box?

It would require either extensive floorpan modifications or lengthening of the gearbox to space the transfer case out. Also the cut and shut bell housing. It would be expensive either way as you cant get a good box for less than $4k, this whole kit cost me $2500 including the V35 console.

The pallet is on it's way from Qld, should be here in a couple of days. :)

Clutch is ordered. :)

VQ35 is gaids unless forged. Is there something you feel the stock VQ25det isn't giving me Ryan? I thought it was doing pretty well... :P

I will be winding the boost into it now the box will take the abuse, 400kw shouldn't be a problem from the GTX3076 once the power leaching auto is gone. ;)

So go forged? Never any substitute for cubes... VQ25DET is going well, 400kW sounds good. But VQ35DET should be better :P

I'd argue that in a race car! Watched a rb20det munching away at rb26dett's on the weekend!

It would have to be under 3L for the class I want to be in, plus I want to see what the little VQ can do.

A VQ30det would be nice though, easy to wire in and tune too, but it won't be much different to the 2.5det in terms of drivability or max power imo.

Unfortunatly you are (we are) confined by turbo size. So, thoughts on that? All other factors being equal the 3.5 or stroked would still be choice for a track car and road car because of more useable power band and torque. That being said, your going to have to put a lot of effort into something like that, when you already have a proven lil performer in your hands.

I think on the weekend it became even clearer to me that big power does not maketh the fastest way round a track. But more usable power and torque and the ability to put it down efficiently does the goods.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
