Fitted a boost guage today as I have a boost controler to be fitted.

Now I have read a few mixed reports on what the standard boost level is.

My car is 100% stock - not even a filter fitted yet, and its running 1bar (14psi) and trailing down to 0.8 right at the top of the rev range...

Is that normal? What are others experiences?

I was planning on using the boost controller to get it to 1bar, but I dont need it! haha

I am also planning on getting an exhaust with my tax return. Im pretty keen on a Fujitsubo Legalis - as I had one on my C34, it was great without drone, good flow and a nice sound when you gave it a boot-full. Does anyone have any opinions or have a Legalis on their M35?

Cheers,

Ben.

where did you place it.....pic's!!!

1 bar and then bleeding back off to .8 is normal.

As far as exhaust systems go I have not heard a Legalis.......but I have heard Charlstones Exhaust(Sydney) and they sound pretty good....no drone.

I have a Legalis and so does my mate.

The difference is that he is running the stock front pipe whereas I have an 80mm Kakimoto front pipe.

I can post you a vid of my mates Legalis (haven't recorded mine yet).

I CAN tell you that they have a veeeery nice burble but are damn quiet.

The Legalis does get a bit louder when you get up in the rev range but sounds ace all the time.

If you want the vid, PM me your email address. I will try to capture mine this weekend and send that so you can hear the difference with the front pipe.

No drone, great sound, quiet and high flowing... oh, and the quality is amazing.

Cannot speak highly enough of it.

thanks for all the replies!

Im on the northern beaches, but am happy to drive out to meet and hear the car in person.

Im always keen to see/hear your videos too!

One other question, can anyone recommend a store/web store to purchase one through. Have seen few sites selling the, but always prefer to hear where/who you got yours from.

Cheers,

Ben.

No worries Ben.

I bought mine through RMS Motorparts

Henry is great to deal with and his prices are pretty good.

RHD Japan are phenomenal to deal with for anything new.

I am sure that if you contacted Aaron at Import Monster, he could find you a decent price via his wholesaler.

Or you could look at Nengun who can also ship it to your door.

they sound very similar, i guess higher up in the rev range and with a bit of load there might be a difference. the second one is slightly different, but id put that down to it not being at operating temperature

thanks for posting those vids up iamhe77

Yeah Legalis looks the goods, sits nice and high up into the body too - standard one is very low and sometimes hits the ground when coming out of driveways etc.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
