Cheers :) I can't recommend these cars highly enough. It's an evolutionary mile in front of my old R33 GT-R.

never heard of empire parts for the r35

do you have any pics of your intercooler hard pipe kit? is this fab'd in aus?

You wouldn't have heard of us (Empire is my company) as we've only been supplying wholesale parts to Western Australian shops for the last 6 years. We are only now expanding the 'brand' into selling retail Australia wide.

We're also a sponsor on here.

I can send pictures of the hard-pipe kit to your e-mail if you're interested (just shoot me a PM). The piping kit is only $499, but naturally for that price they are fabricated in China for us.

can you confirm empire performance is a responsibility company?

LOL - yes, we don't sell 'purpo' paint.

Couple of updates:

Plugged the COBB AccessPort into it the other day and put a map in it from COBB, 15psi and relatively aggressive. Saw a little too much knock on a data log, so decided to load a more conservative 14psi map into it as I won't get a chance to throw it on the dyno until the 22nd.

Also loaded up LC5 (launch control from the 2012 models). It now paints all 4 off the line and launches from 4400rpm. So good.

Took it to the motorplex tonight. Only did 1 run - 11.32 @ 121mph, 1.72 60' time :)

Intakes, inlets, dump pipes,injectors, fuel pumps all should be going in next week :)

Video from a run with Brendan in the car, was still an 11.5.

Congrats on the car, looks very nice in GMG. Do you have wheel spacers on it, since its filling the guards really nicely.

Your company offer reasonably priced parts, very impressive. I know where I'll be looking when my 35 rocks up :cheers:

More mods!

Now have the full Empire Performance 'Stage 2' kit installed on the car. $5,500 for all the parts required, and this is the result:

Stock power:
416awhp @ 11psi (570Nm)
Now:
538awhp @ 17psi (761Nm)
Still running BP 98!

Feels ridiculous now. 34% increase in torque, 30% increase in power.
Will be going to the Motorplex the next chance I get.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
