Hi all.

Nice community you got here.

So here's the deal. My '03 6mt 350gt, 95,000kms (debatable but who knows, it's cosmetically mint and has no gremlins) probably makes 130-150kw atw. Haven't dynoed it yet. But it's not enough, and I want 250 atw, keeping it NA, with switchable economy and performance ecu maps, and a mean sound (motordyne TDX is the perfect tone), capping the spend at about $6k.

Here's what I expect I need:

Cams

Intake

Exhaust - banking on a TDX shipped from the states
Re-map (Uprev?)

Who do I talk to in Melbourne to make this happen?

Cheers

:) you are really going to struggle to get to those sort of numbers NA. Cam, exhaust, intake and tune will never get you anywhere near an extra 100-150KW.

And even if you do throw enough money and work at it to manage those figures (and I mean a whole lot more than $6k), it will never be economical again.

If KW is your goal, sell the V35 and buy an R32-34 GT-R.

Might want to read this and have about 20k in your pocket:

Ah, the old "Double the power for $6000" trick;

Love it.

Bearing in mind that it's taken me at least that to get 80kw out of a turboed VQ; I'm gonna suggest that some serious budget revision is in order.

Oh man, now I'm THAT guy :)

Hate being a noob. Thanks for the info, I have taken it on board and revised my expectations accordingly. I will also make a point of not jumping enthusiastically onto a new board while half cut.

Looks like I'll just go for tone with the exhaust.

Cheers

just do some bolt-ons and enjoy your car. dont have to spend 6k, but wont be 100kw quicker either. response, torque and sound are still enjoyable. try do most of it yourself and you'll learn some things along the way (and know your car inside and out).

I actually read that article a while ago but can't navigate past part one and Google is no help. Maybe I'm blind. Do you have links to the rest of it?

Same challenge but says the car was from Sport Compact Car:

438hp sounds quite pleasant for a streeter.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
