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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
