Someone said PB2000N in their post earlier, so please ignore my question.

It's me saying that. Got an email reply from them saying PB2000N will be the one best suited for my v35. I think "N" is just indicating it's for Nissan.

Hey guys.... drove out to the west this afternoon and for the first time, I actually spotted m35s on the road twice! :D

Guess the car is getting more n more popular...

Anyway, was at a takeaway place today and picked up a copy of the Auto-trader. Saw that there is a M35 up for sale in Speedy 5000 Panmure going for $10.5k! Says it has "good KMs". Car looks nice with a good set of 18" mags....

Just thought i'll give an update on my reverse sensors... got them installed y'day and seems to be working quite well. The shop didn't really have a set that matches the car's color well, so had to get them sprayed. Just did that myself y'day. Seller advice to just spray one thin layer which is what I did. Now colour matches perfectly and luckily don't think there's any adverse effect on the sensitivity of the sensors!

Will try to post some photos of the sensors later this week.

Any of you guys driving with the plate "V35GT"? Saw it heading over the bridge heading north on Thursday night. Nice car...win4ever?

Cheers

Hey Tim, any idea what colour is the car? Anyway, that's not me.... =) Hopefully he/she will join this forum though! =) With a number plate like that, he/she must definitely be a v35 fan!

Ic.... Hmmmm.... an identical twin brother! :)

Gotta say I hardly see any v35 coupe in this colour actually in Auckland.... so will be keen to meet that car. Will keep an eye out for it when i am over at the shore! :P

Anyway, just back to the discounted fuel topic we discussed earlier, last Thursday, the Mobil at Smales Rd was selling RON98 at $1.76!!! RON91 was down to $1.61.... I just love that place.... now Thursday is my refueling day! :P

Hey guys/gals,

I am also a member of the NZ Primera Car Club. They are having a track day at Taupo on 2nd Oct on Track 2. It is a good time to test your skills and your car. No one is racing as such and you do what you can within your limits and drive your car at a speed that you feel safe at. Male and females drivers all come together on the day and have fun and that all in a safe environment.

Its $100 only for the full day. Good, safe fun. I am taking my skyline down for a blast as we don't get to do this on public roads. Track is the safest place to do this. I see another M35 coming on the day as of now.

So if anyone one of you guys are interested, let me know. Will be great to see some more skylines around.

Hey X! Thanks for the update! Unfortunately, I can't make it on that weekend due to work commitment (company doing a major business IT system change that I'll need to be on call just in case the IT team needs details fr Finance).

However, if there are more of such events, i'll probably be keen to try one! Cheers!

Common guys we can make a mini skyline meet out of this. Meet up somewhere in Auckland in the morning, convoy down to Taupo, maybe stop over for snack somewhere. Then full fun day at the tracks, maybe get pizza delivered for lunch. Then once the day is over, convoy back up to Auckland or stay over at Taupo at a hotel/motel, relax and return the next day.

Good family fun weekend too.

No one has said anything wins.

Hmmmm.... everyone's been pretty quiet lately (including myself due to the insane workload I have at the office atm). How's everyone going?

Anyway, saw a couple of v35 coupe on the weekend. A white one along Ti Rakau Drive on Sunday evening and another silver one on the motorway.

It's perhaps the first 2 coupes I saw on the road since I got my car! :D

Hi guys.... saw a M35 (FMH 726) at Aero Parks (one of the open air airport parking) today. In fact, the owner was picking up the car together with me after returning from the airport. Wondering if he is someone in the forum?

Also, drove side by side with another silver v35 coupe last Thursday in the morning near Pak n Save Manukau. Any chance that person is in this forum?

Spotted a silver v35 coupe in wairau park today, it was a bit low for my tastes though, looked like a rather bumpy ride, cats eyes become speed humps spec.

I was in Wairau Park today too at around 2.30pm! Didn't see any other v35 coupe or m35 though. Anyway, the v35 coupe is abit bumpier than a usual sedan, but still alright for me. After almost 3 months having it, I am still enjoying it as if it's the first day I got it! I am scheduling a service with City Nissan soon (sometime next week) so will update everyone on my experience with them.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'd need to check my notes at work Duncan, but I'm pretty sure most of that is purely OBD2 on the display. How quickly is it all able to update? Do you have any internet capability in your workshop with a laptop?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.

      Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.
