My V35's First Dyno Run (image Posted).

[Guest]

This is my first Dyno run in my V35 Sedan with the 6 Speed Getrag fitted, only mod a full Borla Exhaust and K&N filter element from Jash at C-Red

I have been informed the dyno is off so I will have a more accurate one next week, but you can see the torque comes straight on which is mint.

Thanks for posting that. Found it interesting. Any future mods planned?

Going to work on the induction system first as I had a pod filter on with no heat shield which was so loud when it came on plus the bottom end was a bit dead and more of a rush at 4,000 rpm, the pod filter only lasted a day, lots of bits in the US and Japan to tune the N/A engine up we will see what it takes to reach 240 hp at the rear wheels.

Jash has some Worx 19's for me then I am going to put some spare RE55's I have on my 17" BBS rims and see how it goes down the qtr.

The torque is so nice and with a different note to it, you could say it is a BMW V8 type sound.

Sounds good, keep us posted on it's progress!

Interesting.

Did you notice any extra power from the exhaust?

And when you say "full" do you mean catback + hi-flow cat + headers?

[Guest]

Just a CAT back which are just after the headers any way and you noticed big time after the exhaust was fitted as the stock one was a big sucker.

As you can see from the link it is a lot of exhaust.

V35 full system

No offense dude, but according to the Americans I've talked to the Borla is not very impressive at all. Nothing bad said about flow, but more about its quality.

Obviously readings differ between dynos (even in Shootout Mode), but your power figure is what I'd expect from a stock car.

What year is it? Is it running the 280hp engine or the 300hp engine?

You should be able to hit 240rwhp with just bolt-ons. Get the Z33 intake tube (which is less restrictive) or an aftermarket one, plenum spacer (assuming its a 280hp engine) and ECU and you should hit your target. With cats and headers on top of the above I'd expect at least 250rwhp in Shootout Mode.

There's practically zero gains from a pod filter, so don't expect anything but noise if you put another one on.

I am going to use a different dyno and see what it comes up with as Jash did say this dyno is running 20 to 30 hp low it was a "I am bored lets do a dyno run" we wanted to see how the graph looks, the yanks have quoted 220 to 240 rwhp stock. All the other mods you spoke about were done to a CPV35 so we know what is worth while.

Z33 Intake tube works well, plenum spacer isnt worth the hassle, I think ECU is a waste of money, with Cats out and Headers in it is to loud, US headers dont fit RHD cars well and Japanese are not worth the money, a Pod filter on Jash's CPV35 did make a difference.

The quality of the Borla exhaust was faultless compared to a lot of other systems on the market and it is well priced at the same time, it bolted straight up no rubbing, quality fittings but Yanks complain about everything.

A few of us who drive V35's every day all deem it the quickest yet as driving a dozen different ones in a week is a good way to guage any difference.

For real hp I would just get my mates at DNA Motorsport to fit a PROCHARGER and be done with it not waste time and money.

Performance is stale without a snail!

Damn, thts nice..makes me wanna run out and buy one now...u've got the sedan too! Any pics you can share of the car?

I have been meaning to get around to some photos but I was waiting for the 19's I have to be fitted, it is dumped on it's arse but still a bit soft looking with 17's.

They are a lot nicer car to drive then people give them credit and quicker then you think with only a little work.

The Yanks don't complain about the JDM catbacks. The Fujitsubo and HKS ones especially come highly lauded.

As for the plenum spacer, its the easiest thing to install! You just unbolt the upper plenum, put this metal spacer on with its gaskets, and then bolt the f**ker back down! And on a 280hp engine, it is worth it. While it only gives you a couple of kilowatts more in the top end, it makes the engine far more willing to breathe and so your usable rev range increases. It also stops your front 2 cylinders from getting starved of oxygen, so it doesn't coke up as badly in there. I'd say they provide a gain at least as good as a pod filter, if not more.

As for headers, you can get a cheaper set locally made. UAS sells 350Z extractors (which will fit a V35) for $600. Cats aren't cheap, though, no matter where you go

[Modena]

Supercharged Skyline? Shit yeah!

[scathing]

I've driven a 350Z with the HKS supercharger. Wasn't bad, but not enough power.

The APS TT kit, on the other hand.......oh baby.
