35 Pre And Post Modification Impressions/comparison

[The Law]

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.

Well, to continue worshipping you, perhaps he should wear a helmet the next time he does 250 kph.... or is this picture off Mt.Panorama? LOL

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.

not much of a 'drive' averaging somewhere between 10 and 20 kays an hour
