I think the best bet at the moment is to get a generic G-Zone/Nismo remap and run an Emanage ultimate or F-con pro for adjustment to suit our mods, fuel and climate. The Emanage is certainly the cheaper and easier option.

With a quicker reaction time I could have got into the 12's at Calder last weekend (I hit speed cut 3/4 way down the track too), not bad for a 2 ton car. :O

... and a sleepy driver :P

Remember though that the Yanks (north of the border) have stuff-all in the way of eManage tuners... much like we have no Fcon tuners down here.

If there were "local" tuners for both, I would take the Fcon over the eManage ultimate... IF the budget permitted lol

Sorry Scott,a quicker reaction time doesnt give you a faster 1/4 mile time.It only helps you beat the bloke alongside you who may have had the same 1/4 mile time as you. i.e Your time is measured from the moment your car passes the timing beam, after you have reacted. :P

It certainly will, My best 60 foot time was 2.3 seconds which is pretty crap really.

Am I the only one on here with drag racing experience?.Again,sorry Scott,anyonewho has experience will tell you that your time starts after you cross the beam,no matter how quickly or slowly you react. icon1.gif.

That 60ft time started when you crossed that beam.

Not this day... 9 second cars were waiting for a few seconds on the line and it was adding seconds to their time. Autostart was turned off for some reason. A car took out the reflector array early on which I think was the reason, he stood his Torana vertical and went sideways into it. :/

What he means is your time only starts as soon as you break the beam on the start line you staged into.. so a reaction time has jack squat to do with your 60ft, 1/4 mile time etc..

surely you all know this tho.

thanks Andrew

obviously they don't. :/

You are correct, I have never been to Calder before. Who gives a crap anyway, I had great fun.

Scott,i'm sure you did.It is great fun.I look forward to more news on your cars future development.Good job. :/

ok, now Ive had my M35 for a month or so im looking at mods to do to it,

getting the TV tuner soon, at same time I will put a decent alarm/imobalizer on it and change to english,

after that im not sure where to go...

its got nismo suspension,

Nismo catback exuast,

Nismo Dash,

is it worth looking into doing the turbo to cat?

ECU? I heard Mines does one aswell as dolphin does one.... which is best bang for buck?

just wondering what else others have done to there M35's that is well worth the change...

Did you get an immobalizer for how much and how effective is it.

have you modified anything yet?

I'm tinkering with it a little. I've got two custom kill switches on it and just had a m80 installed so not sure yet.

Started looking at where weight can be saved and little 'tuning' things that can be done.

Will update a little later

      Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
