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

Yeah, I was surprised how little difference there is in the sound of the two vids.

The one with the Kaki front pipe is a bit bassier, not much, but definitely noticeable.

Up top, no comparison.

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.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hey Matt, Link pointed to the 2x IGN power sources from the car as a likely issue, and sure enough pin 31 in the loom does not have power when IGN is on (24 does). So at the ECU, (and this is probably the case for R32 as well as C34) most of the ECU loom goes through the firewall behind the blower motor and there are 2 plugs (of 3 in the junction box) which go up and under the dash, the third plug heads under the carpet to places unknown (likely a body to dash loom joint) So, I started to follow that problem through yesterday. Like Johnny (and R32) I assumed that power was supplied through the 2 connectors near the left headlight so I spent some time pulling the intake etc off and cleaning of 400,000klm of dirt and oil leaks and checking those pins, but there was nothing related to the engine parts or ignition fuses there (and no purple with white trace wire in either side of the connectors) Given that the wire didn't seem to go via the engine bay, I then checked there is continuity from Pin 31 to the second connector to confirm no wiring issue in the ECU loom (it looked likely, given how much that has been hacked up over the years!). The pin marked with the purple dot is the other end of the wire to Pin 31 Then I check for IGN power in the dash loom side of that connector with the key on. Nothing. Given that loom goes up and underneath the top of the dash there is no tracing it without taking the dash out, so I went to the driver's side to see if I can find the other end of that (I'm expecting to get to big body junction boxes after I pull enough apart). However, to get to those functions, I had to pull the covers off the drivers side, I'm pretty sure the problem is in this pic Yep, factory remote start (bottom right), local immobiliser (middle) surrounded by 20 years of butchery. Plan is to totally remove the remote start and immobiliser (I think I will lose remote central locking temporarily as a result) to remove all the suspect stuff given I have other more modern security in the car It's gonna take a while, and it is both cold and uncomfortable out in the shed, not looking forward to it.

      Synthetic oil versus conventional oil

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Id be more than happy to sign up!!! Where do I send the invoices for my fuel usage? I'm happy to provide the mower, oil, and the labour to abuse the motor, just a little help on fuel would be great...   I had tipped the container of oil out into my big "drip tray" and left the small container upside down to drain the oil out of itself overnight. PIcked the container up today, and it has a layer of what feels like either dirt, or shit tonnes of carbon in the bottom of the container. I'm leaning towards it likely being dust, as I doubt the quality of the Sunli BumbleBee having a decent air filter on it, and sections of my yard produce a dust storm, especially because of the high lift blade!   So, filled her up with some fresh Nulon. Seemed to run fine, but it seems to want to run at really high RPM (higher than normal) even with the governor spring slacked off after fire up to try reduce it. If I back the throttle off it a bit to drop the rpm to where I'd like it to be when mowing light grass, it starts to blow a bit of smoke out the exhaust. Opening the throttle back up clears that out. It's definitely breathing oil, as I put my hand down at the breather hose and it's spitting some oil.   My guess is it having been running at high rpm, oil never changed, and it eating dust has destroyed the rings. You know what that means? Time to send it!!!

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That is what will seal with the bonnet closed. Follow it down while closing the bonnet to see where it ends up with the bonnet closed. The panels don't do anything other than spending money, which this one will do just fine. :p
