As we all know, quoted power output of M35 is 206kW. This equates to 280bhp, which was Japanese gentlemans agreement for power output...

But really, how much power does it have... Anyone put one on a dyno?

Don't know what crank is but at the wheels approx 140 killer wasps....that's dead standard.

Well this means that either they've reduced drivetrain loss (doubtful) or the M35 is actually putting out roughly 20awkw MORE than the series 2 NEO.

How much they put out at the engine may forever be a mystery because Nissan have been saying 206kw for years and everyone's always been "guessing" that its more - even on the R34/stag s2.

On the series 2, the difference between RWKW (front tailshaft off) and AWKW was about 20kw. So in other words, if the M35 is the same drivetrain-wise as the s2 then the AWD only costs you 20kw.

On a car this heavy, 60-70kw drivetrain loss is pretty normal for RWD and so therefore say about 80-90kw drivetrain loss for AWD.

Acknowledging these are all very rough estimates, our M35's *COULD* have as much as 230kw at the engine.

If I had to have a more accurate guess I'd say somewhere around 215-220kw.

Anything I missed?

Either way its still pretty good for a stock wagon.

As an aside my dad drove my car the other day (normally drives a BA fairmont) and you should've seen his jaw drop when he put his foot down. Made me very proud :)

Yeah, my dad drove my car when I was moving (I was driving the truck), he has a full beard but I could still see the huge smile on his face.

Made me proud also... Funny thing that, eh?

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
