LBR33 they just released a 1.1 patch for pro street on PC. but there's only so much you can do by polishing a turd.

they are interchangeable, but why on earth would you want grandpa spec seats in your R32.

your ECU is in safety mode... either your AFM signal's not there or one of your critical signals isn't getting to the ECU. would one of the gauges you moved around happen to be an air-fuel ratio gauge?

wow that interior actually looks nicer than an R32 now. if it wasn't for the blue I'd have sworn you were goin for this effect:

emissions for the 2.5L turbo engine in an M35 is not eligible to pass the post 2004 ADR changes. This means that the engine has to be retested with things like a retuned ECU, a different AFM, or a different catalytic converter etc. Which is a lengthy process as it has to go back and forth between the testers and the workshop, and once the data is submitted to wait on a response from dotars etc. I'm not too well informed about your case Muz, but of what little I know, didn't the compliancer offer to buy the car off you and reimburse you for all costs incurred at that point in time about 6 months ago, and you chose not to take that option? Fairly sure if you were to take legal action you can't be compensated for any losses made since that offer was made. Also if you're going to look at re-exporting and auctioning off the car, its a lot cheaper to send it to NZ, as the shipping, transport and auction fees are a lot cheaper to there than Japan. There's also more demand for good clean M35's in NZ than in Japan, so financially its more viable.

you could get one of the guys in japan to buy it for you, laurence or streeter... there's heaps of shops over there that retail Ikeya gear.

you could just modify your turbo and take off the wheel in the exhaust side... that way the exhaust gasses will never spool the turbo... that or jam the internal wastegate open all the time. but yeah, if you want a DE that badly, sell the car and buy a N/A. it'll be quicker (time to convert) and cheaper.

you tinted your windscreen? wtf?

I think the point everyone's trying to get thru to you is that the noise you make due to the air being recirculated into your intake by a factory valve, has more to do with a pod and intake pipe material/surrounds than with the actual recirc valve itself.

Its pretty much guaranteed you'll never get a road registerable parallel import R35 GT-R in australia under the SEVS scheme. The only way possible is via personal import. Non road registerable race/rally only imports on the other hand... mmm I'll have mine glazed with hundreds-and-thousands thanks. As for the copyright line of attack by Nissan in the EU, our federal anti competition laws might not agree. Nissan wouldn't have to play that card in Australia anyways, as they should get full volume importation rights here, nullifying any volume import avenue.

do you have a fuse between the amps and the battery? check the fuse on the back of the head unit. also check that your head unit's face is attached properly and you haven't accidentally muted it... yeah I know, stupid idea, but it could happen.

I swear I want to donkey punch honda crackerbox civic driving dropkicks from the US and their universal knowledge of all things turbo and skylines when they spread their knowledge on youtube and cardomain

i dunno... engines seem to go up and down millions of times and not break down that often, unless you cane the fark out of them. other than the excess noise creation, the other downside to having an Atmo is that you have to overcompensate your idle so as not to stall (hence the retunes and idle adjustments being suggested). At the end of the day, the factory BOV is just a gas valve... most are built to last years of repeated use. If you want one to hold the pressure more don't bash your BOV in, just put get one with a stiffer spring rate (some turbo diesel ones for example) or a reducer in the recirculation tube.

isn't the 5 year coating just an added clear coat on top to con people out of an extra couple of grand when purchasing the car?

i had a the sphincter of the universe gobbler thingy on mine when I was a kid... pissed me off after driving around with it for like 20 mins.

for some reason the lads at J-spec didn't like my suggestion of putting: "if you thought buying an Evo would compensate for your lack of driving skills, this car is sure to make you look like Colin McRae reincarnated." in the description of the car.

not exactly the thread for it but... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRISBY!!!1! Copious drinking and shenanigans in your name will be undertaken tomorrow.

hehe there's no denyin you're into pink welcome to the forums.

prices? offsets? 1 piece/2 piece/3 piece? cast or forged?

lol hi Marc, welcome to the forums. I'm slowly moving all the introduction theads to the intro section... so there should be plenty of threads so as not to intimidate new members,

meh, there's a ford falcon sitting in front of my skyline in my driveway... nothing pulls trailers and hauls a boat around like a good old aussie V8. welcome to the forums.

that's cos the Z was designed in california by some indian dude from the UK. most of the R&D for the 350Z was done in the US, which meant that manufacturers had access to information before release. R35's a japanese design and developed product, so it'll be a little slower.

vtec must've kicked in... yo.

since when do the japs know how to pronounce english/latin words properly

snow = rusted underbodies, shovelling driveways and trying not to bury yourself while knocking it off your roof, and shitty driving conditions. no thanks
