It needs a really really good detail.. all in due corse i suppose

Finally! Was wondering when you were going to post! Looks great brother!

Nice pic - a rare sunny day!

Nice! I'm not normally an M35 fan, but that's one good looking car!

Looks awesome, love that front bar. IMO needs just a touch more low, or an inch bigger rims to fill the guards a bit more. otherwise very nice indeed

That's a whole lot of Impul!

Full kit + wheels. Possibly suspension (does it have light blue springs and silver struts? Yes I see the Tein sticker) and ECU too (check under/behind the glovebox).

That blue works wonders on that nose. Do like!

EDIT: forgot to mention, prob a Nismo rear spoiler too

Very nice pick up mate- looks like you scored one with lots of fruit!

I'd get some higher profile tyres when the old ones run out- fill those massive guards out a bit thumbsup.gif

Heaps of good info one here- do a search if you have issues and you'll learn heaps!

Its got Tein coilovers in it, Calsonic front mount, Impul cat back (now with 3' mid pipe) and i'm pretty certain its got an Impul ecu too (Runs high boost 1.3bar + i found the Impul control unit badge in with the owners book as the ECU itself doesn't have a sticker on it)

Not to sure what the spoiler is, haven't seen a Stagea with one.

Did come with a box of spares which im yet to pick up from IM, so i might have the blue springs with silver struts.

Calsonic stuff is factory. That cooler is too big to be a factory jobbie Jeff. Sure it's not an Impul one too?

No its not; not on the M35. The Calsonic is the aftermarket FMIC of choice supplied by Impul. iirc they never made their own.

Yep, and a very rare item that Calsonic unit is these days.

Thanks guys, I've learnt something :thumbsup:

Welcome Christian!

Looks low! Any plans for it, or just a cruiser?

Plenty of info around on here to answer many of the common questions- a search will give you most of the info! Hope you enjoy your stay!thumbsup.gif

    • Looks like they've been through a few versions of the kit; that is not the one I had trouble with (it had the level sender attached to baffles on the floor, the one you linked the level sender is hung from the hat). One obvious point about that kit is it has no baffles at all, not even the factory setup (although it looks like you can retain the factory setup if you want).  Not sure if that will be an issue or not, the good news is it looks like you can get the pump nice and low in the tank, but that doesn't help if the fuel is all sloshing to one side of a wide flat tank
    • One more question if you don't mind. Is the first kit you tried the same one as they currently sell as their fuel-pump-hanger kit? https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/fuel-system-kits/products/fpg-bnr32-fuel-pump-hanger-kit-single-fits-stagea-c34-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r32-fpg-087?variant=42131478315186 Because according to their video the low fuel warning thing can be taken from the OEM hanger and attached to their new hanger. Just wondering whether this is the kit you weren't happy with, or whether it's a different revision. Thanks again!
    • That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others
    • The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 馃ぃ
    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
