I wouldn't bother mate. If you are dead serious about power, then get a different (3inch) muffler welded on the end and keep that Muffler. But I would suggest if you don't have a high flow turbo, piggyback, etc etc, I don't think the exhaust will be that big a deal. I'm only going by the Mods in your Sig. Do you really want it louder? Doesn't seem like it has any muffler to it anyway!

Fitted Tein S-Tech springs in my series 2 RS4S yesterday. Was hoping for the 1.5inch drop that they claim but it's only dropped about 10mm in the front and practically nothing in the rear. Just hoping it'll settle down a bit over the next couple of weeks with driving. It's definitely stiffer though.

Went to drive it for the first time in 2-3 weeks, found the battery was flat.

Put it on charge for about 6 hours, checked voltage, 1.5v. Pulling it out and putting it on a deep charge for a couple of days to see if it'll be ok, since it's only about 6-9 months old. :(

just fitted a new rack end on passenger side, bought a new pair from ebay (link from Dale)

http://www.ebay.com....#ht_1749wt_1037

after fitting it and drove the car, steering was very loose that when i came out to check the wheels. the left one (passenger side) had a toe in about 5-7 degrees :angry:

after a closer inspection, the new rack end is actually longer than stock one (refer pic) so had to cut off to roughly the same length, now just need to do wheel alignment

thought to share this so if anyone else needs to change the rack end to the same ones i bought, better measure and cut 1st

I had to remove those two black strips at the edges of the tailgate lid & the spolier screws into the metal beneath where they sat.

Then it just basically sits on top of the black plastic trim that the centre brake light is part of (with help from a bit of double sided tape)

I'll take some more pics when my wife gets back from the shops with it. :whistling:

Excellent buddy :) glad ur happy.

Sorry about the dyno sheet. Damn dyno restarting on me. Forgot to input ur details back in correctly.

Haha i underestimated ur car. Wheelspin on the 1st pull of the night. Was exciting. We need to find a way to lock it into gear though. Was hard to tune below 4000rpm. Will have a play on the road when u are ready

Limp mate, the kickdown is just to keep you on your toes. :P

The torque converter lockup solenoid needs a 12v voltage on it for a start...

I made up some speaker mounts for the M35 to fit some Alpine Type R 6.5" front splits and 6.5" rear 2 way coaxial speakers. Made them out of some structural ply I had laying around. These will finish up with the speaker sitting close up to the door trim as the factory speakers do. Will finish them up and install them over the next few days. Pretty happy with the result so far.

Haha sure did. Foot flat 100rpm too early and it

Jumps down a gear.

With the lock up how well does this work? It would be good to do this just whilst tuning then we can put back to standard

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
