If you have 4 k to spend you should look at getting your rims via Jesse Streeter. I got him to order some Work xsa for me, they custom make them to order at the sizes you want. Mine in 18" cost under $2200 delivered and they are a 2 piece wheel. Then just over 1k for a set of kumho ku31's. O ly problem is waiting near 12 weeks for the wheels but worth it IMO.

It fit up easily and only had to reshape the heat shield around the tail shaft a little by hand. No knocks or noises. Exhaust note is a little nicer now as I can actually hear a nice little burble but still very quiet when on cruise. Power wise I have noticed a slight increase but not huge, as to be expected. Still need to change the front pipe to a 3" with high flow cat. I was able to sell the rear muffler from the v35 for $25 so that's dropped the cost of the mid pipe to only $75! So good cheap upgrade. Oh and the m35 mid pipe is bloody heavy compared to the v35.

Thanks for that. I'll order one Monday.

Not very bad at the moment. Only seen a few drips on the engine but nothing drips onto the ground. I think Ill change it next week just to be safe. Any chance you have the part number handy? Cheers

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today I discovered the typical M35 cam cover leak. Must have just started as wasn't there last month.

V35 coupe skyline factory exhaust sections for sale. Have left over the Y pipe, both cats, exhaust manifolds and heat shields. Looking for only $25 a section. Cheers.

PM sent ?

Hey I have a V35 Coupe standard exhaust for sale. I have the complete system from the exhaust manifolds back to the rear muffler except the mid pipe. The mid pipe is being used on my M35 Stagea. If anyone needs a section you can have each section for $25 pick up in Adelaide. Only available for a couple days, after that its going to the metal recycling yard. PM me if your interested. Cheers

Just bought a complete V35 coupe exhaust from headers to tips for the mid pipe. Had to buy the whole lot as he wouldn't separate but only cost $100. From fist look the V35 pipe is about 3mm smaller in diameter from my measurements, will confirm tomorrow. Also keen to see if the much smaller muffler will improve power/torque at all.

Is that power rwkw or awkw? Either way I'd be happy as a pig in you know what. Good job.

I've just heard that if your running high boost with these turbos you need to upgrade the h/duty thrust bearing to a better quality one. apparently the evo guys are doing this if running over 18psi. It already comes with a hd thrust washer but they say the quality isn't that great for higher boost levels. Any thoughts or experience on this guys? Since I haven't fitted it yet I can upgrade it if need be.

Yep bit of vasoline never hurt anything ?

Just get them from Nissan. A lot easier as they are a specific size that you won't find at a parts store.

Easy on the slopey valiant motors mate, I still have one in a VC. ?

Yeah I understand the extra displacement and 2 extra injectors allowing for more power on a same sized injector. More so questioning the theory of 1cc = 1hp.

That can't be correct. I run 740cc in my SR with stock rail pressure and currently make 270rwkw with 85% duty cycle on E10 100 oct.Or are the extra 2 cyls and .5 ltr making that much of a difference?

I got the jaffas!

Here you go, my TD06SL2-20G T3 8cm rear housing.

I've got one here waiting to go on. I'll get it from the shed tomorrow and bang up a pic. But from memory it looks like my 8cm T3.

I currently have it apart fitting up a Kinugawa TD06SL2-20G 8cm T3 flanged external gate turbo to it and hopefully a set of ID1000 injectors to replace the current 740's. Just waiting for a mate to make the high mount manifold and for me to decide on either the 38mm or 44mm Tial waste gate. Looking to get 300rwkw on pump. Once its done I want to do some hill climbs and a few grip days.

How did you find the grip out there? In my 180SX I found it really slippery! I came out of turn 3 and easily wound it off the clock before turn 4 and turning into turn 4 the car just started sliding towards the outside of the corner and got scary real quick. Turn 4 is actually a difficult corner with the amount of speed that can easily be carried into it.

Wish we did as I want the trolley jack they sell.

Here is the write up I did when I installed mine. I'm still going to add an on/off switch to power it when not in reverse. I'll use a diode on the reverse lights power feed so when I activate the on/off switch it won't turn the reverse lights on. I can't see myself using the camera when not reversing very often but atleast I'll have the option. http://www.m35stagea.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=281&p=2419#p2419

Pretty sure they are 180 or 150. I'm leaning towards 180 from memory. But looking on the kumho site they don't come in a 245/45-18 as not really a performance car sizing, only a 245/40-18.

I don't think I'd use the KU36 on the street with a heavy car like the m35. The tread ware rating is pretty low so you won't get long out of them. Although the grip would be NICE!
