How To Achieve The Same Results Whilst Using Different Upgrades A Hard Task In


Recommended Posts

Recently purchased 03 NM35 Stagea 77000kms sweet car looks, goes and Id say tows. Ive already contradicted my initial "leaving it standard hunny" statements to the petty coat government. Anyhow enough jibber jabber Heres a few pics... Prior to purchase and the following 2 -3 weeks

Nice purchase and some damn nice upgrades there :yes:

Yeh, HDI Intercooler Kit is soon going to be on my list too!!

Cheers

Edited by skyguy3804

HDI kit was a snack to install

Hopefully they start selling it with a 10" replacement fan as part of the kit...

Also picked up a turbosmart Kompact recirc bov ,as i suspected the factory one was bleeding (leaking) of boost. now holds but at the cost of noisy flutter.

Haha yeah I used the same BOV made a good performance difference but it does sounds like I have trapped a large pigeon under the hood

Yeh, Have the same problem with my kompact too.. they just don't seem to want to do anything about replacing the spring. Last time I spoke with them they wanted me to send them videos of the noisy flutter at low boost, and it shutting off at high boost so their engineers can 'analyze' and maybe send me out a softer spring!!

It can be managed to a degree by driving in tiptronic.. Still, it get's all the boy racers copping a sqizz :rofl2:

It doesnt suit the vehicles looks.

Intersested to see if GFB have an alternative even a late model GTR version would most likely remedy the problem...

Intrested to hear other owners who have found a better alternative...

I've got a dual port venting to atmosphere.......... love the flutter at low boost and sounds like a bucket of water being thrown at a wall over 7psi HAHA

good thing is though u can chage the spring tention by winding it down but mines on the softest setting......

Yeah I got the GFB Respons, you can adjust it to recirc or atmo and anywhere in between which is good, I set mine to recirc at moment but muck around with it every now and again, would be good with aftermarket ecu so you could tune for atmo better.

But yeah flutter is still pretty strong, if you adjust the spring really soft it helps reduce flutter but feels like it doesn't go quite as good, and it can make the car hesitate a little on and off light throttle, again that could be tuned out with an emanage I reckon.

I can only guess my standard unit was as loose as - the fact it had zero noise at all.

In regards to the emanage ive had a tuff time locating an expert on wiring it in in Adelaide.

The Guru appears to be in Vic. Have considered the drive , same time address the exhaust with the Fabrication Expert. If there is Adelaide option be interest to speak about the installs

Yeah I know mate I was Under the assumption all would know who I was refering to , aswell hoping someone closer to my postcode handy with a bunch of wires & soldiering iron and a finish to closely resemble your craftsmanship.

The trip to Vic is proving a difficult assignment...

If only i had to worry bout myself.

Btw hows the progress going are we nearing a start mate?

Honestly....

Would you touch the GT3082 ive on hand install?

Highmount in front of airbox?

Decided that the time, effort $$$ invested to just have a " proven results highflow" in place and on road is going to be not a great deal less Plus the heading of this blog explains everything...

Emanage is fairly easy to wire in as long as you have a computer pinout diagram , have always done my own computer wiring, emanage , microtec ect . There is also Nathan the auto electrician kicking around adelaide can't remember his business name but I can give you his number , a fair few of the performance workshops use him, top bloke !

I've still got a emanage ultimate kicking round somewhere I thought about putting it on the m35 but not sure i can really be stuffed with too many performance mods on it . Already trying to make 1 house brick something like quick is annoying enough lol

Certainly not attempting any records upgrading and modifying ones car is a personal taste.

For me its the perfect ride to have performance and luxury. Velvet sledge hammer.

Thanks I certainly would appreciate the Auto Sparkys number.

Finally nobody I know ever left a Turbo car stock ...

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
