Guys,

ANyone who has modded their 35 I would like to hear your before and after driving impressions.

Does anyone think it was unneccesarry or that the car is now too loud etc ??

I am stoked with standard package (cant believe I am saying that) but am still considering:

1. mid pipe

2. Cobb Tune

3. Aftermarket brake pads

4. Dunlops to replace Bridgestones.

Before mods my car was capable of:

0-100 3.7

0 - 400 m 11.7

After mods:

0 - 100 2.9

0 - 400 10.8

Its my daily drive, and I literally drive 17km in peak hour to work every day. If I put it in auto and just cruise it is totally ok to live with. If I want I can turn it into a loud angry beast at the push of a button or two. The Dunlops are about two seconds quicker around Oran Park than the Bridgestones (ask White 35), the aftermarket pads transform the braking experience.

To honest when I get in a stock R35 now, it feels quite lacking in personality. And there is a big difference in acceleration.

Just do it!

So what would be the approximate cost and the extent of mods to achieve this 0.8 sec improvement?

Minimum $12k t0 $20k

0.8 doesn't sound like a big improvement does it! Its still a 22% improvement. Power went from 295 atw to 401 atw. The torque improved by bucketloads as well. It feels so different to drive compared to a stocker.

That said for a few bucks you could still get a cobb and mid pipe and do a 3.3 second 0 - 100 and an 11. 3 quarter mile or better. You certainly dont need all the gear I've got to get good gains.......but boy its fun.

I think if you did all of that you'd be very glad that you did. :devil:

My gtr is stock at the moment but Im getting the HKS GT600 kit fitted mid april. Plus some other parts like hks fmic, titatinum zaust, trans cooler etc... If that doesnt scare me enough it will get the GT800 package when it comes out around June.

Il post some pics of the package when its done and what my thoughts are.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
