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?

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
