I can tell you that if I had my time again and limited budget for an exhaust upgrade I would only do the dump pipe. It created the biggest difference to mid range power. I took some photo's of my stock dump to give you all an idea about the limitations of it. You will see in the second shot the Cat that is inside the dump and this is a huge restriction and for any one running a stock turbo also a big risk as it retains so much heat that it leads to premature turbo failure.

Even if you don't touch the rest of your exhaust, change the dump pipe. Certainly the biggest power boost when you do this. There is a massive cat in the middle of the stock dump that is soo restrictive. On my car with the stock turbo I have seen 20psi when I did the bypass. Not for long as I don't thing the ceramic turbine will be happy for long even with a ball bearing core.

Nice result Dunc. Stock boost on your car is 12psi.. If you did the bypass on the boost solenoid you can have unlimited boost. I think Craig has seen 24psi using my Impul ECU at the moment as there is no boost cut on this ECU. Cheers Andy

NO! Not me... I am still at work in Dee Why...

Thanks Andrew for getting this going. I spoke to Marcus and he said yes, he is in around $400. Cheers Andy

Well done Benny... Now I am going to have to go back out or rebuild my turbo really soon to get a better time..lol

Ah that's right.... you have the special edition gearbox. The rest of us have the gearbox would give up under all that torque..

I have the Nismo in my car at the moment and it comes on very strong in the lower rpm and in the Wet + 1st gear + a bit of fun = a very sideways car out of round abouts.....lol

that looks like a good unit but will it fix the inherit weakness of our gearbox? The manual all the way if you could make it work..

that is nuts Scott. That would be a real handful in the wet.

I am not sure I will have time this week.... are you going to go with your car?

You can make the Iphone or Ipod connect to the stereo with or without the Aust standard tuner if you have the factory TV option.

Chook on the forum is the one who can help you with the language conversion in QLD now.. Good luck sorting out the airbag light. Cheers Andy

Is there a NEO VQ25DET available ??

LMFAO..

Not really sure as this is straight from user manual but I would suspect it is at the diffs which would be the lowest point.

looks great scott,.... I am sure you are going to have fun with this Not sure where clip it though

Sell your soul ...... LOL

I'll send you a text when I am down there... is that next week or the week after that you are going?

Yes. ARX has a tall ride height (140mm ground clearance v 100mm for RX/RS). ARX has plastic wheel flares ARX has a 10mm wider track front and rear. ARX has HICAS (this is a device on the rear of the back diff, small electric motor) Oh,...............and the best thing of all.... ARX get 14-15psi boost over the RX/RS that have 12psi boost........

I spoke to the developer last night and he confirmed that software for the PM35 will net be available for a couple of months. sorry guys.. he wishes he could have it read sooner. Cheers Andy

Not driving down till Sunday morning and visiting customers on the way. I will be up in Blue Cow working and skiing Monday - Wednesday.. But then going back down the next week for a holiday with the kids.

Yes good to see you guys. All three cars are looking great... Cheers Andy

We had 3 M35 stagea's out on the strip tonight. Unfortunately it was really busy as last week was rained out and lots came along this week limiting us to 2 runs each. But down to the times.. I will let the other guys post their times. My times were good but I was hoping for a smidgen better. 1st Run: 14.625 speed 155.1kmh (left in auto) 96.38mph 2nd RunL 14.659 speed 158.30kmh (in manual mode) 98.36mph Not a bad result but was hoping to hit 14.3...

Nice one dunc.... and now the fun begins..
