Hey Guys,

I've finally finished my V35's performance build.

I know a lot of you are going to skip to the Dyno plot but i figured i'd write some things up anyway.

My car is a 2004 5/AT 70th Anniversary Premium Edition V35. I imported my car from Japan and got it complied at the start of July. Since ordering the car I came up with a large list and starting buying all the parts i required, most of which were installed before the car was registered in Australia.

The Journey

Stock in Japan

The Car was purchased from Japan on May 21st.

Arrived in Australia

The Car arrived in Australian waters on June 24th.

Stock Dyno Run

The Stock Dyno run was done before any performance parts were added to the car to get a starting Baseline. Keep in mind the run was done in 3rd Gear and from my understanding (Reading G35driver) the better gear is 4th.

Added Window Tint

Got the window tint to match the stock back windows of the V35.

Added Double Din Head Unit

Added a Kenwood 7inch double din unit.

Added Z-Tube & JWT Pop Charger

Purchased from the US. The Z-tube is the OEM stock tube from the 350Z and the JWT Pop Charger was something I debated about getting and finally chose it over the K&N Drop in Filter.

Added Plenum Spacer

Purchased from Motordyne Engineering in the US. The 5/16" Plenum spacer was a must have for performance gains.

Added Exhaust

Purchased from Motordyne Engineering in the US this was a 'must have' mod for me. The Shockwave TDX2)) coupled with the ART Tuning pipes also purchased from Motordyne Engineering to make an amazing sound and nice performance. The exhaust A) Looks Sexy and B) has no drone which makes it amazing on the highway.

Added Crank Pully

I purchased my lightweight Underdrive Crank Pully from Unorthodox Racing in the US.

Added TransGo Shift Kit

The shift kit was one of my 'for fun' mods. Definitely recommend it to anyone with an Auto. The car feels like it accelerates so much harder and the shifts are lightning fast and chirp the wheels when you're flat footed. Driving the car normally you wouldn't even know the kit was there.

Added Tune

The Car was tuned thanks to UpRev in America. A lot of hype surrounds the UpRev Osiris tune for the G35 so I decided to invest in it after looking into other avenues (Piggy back ECU's etc). I ended up purchasing the Standard Pacakage for $500 USD. After having communication issues with a great company in the UK that e-tuned my car with UpRev Osiris I decided, while on the Dyno, to upgrade my UpRev account to include the Tuning package (an extra $200) and I letMatt Spry from PITS on the Gold Coast take over. It was his first V35 UpRev Tune but he found it to be super easy and was able to get 10WHP more than the e-tune package from the UK.

Final Performance Dyno

The Final Dyno shows:

A )The Stock Reading shown above (Pink) Average of 201HP consistently, highest of 203.

B) The Reading after the parts were installed and the very first Flash was sent to me from the UK.(Green)

C) The final reading after Matty Spry got his hands on the Tuner Kit.(Red)

Again these were all 3rd gear pulls and from my research 4th gear would be the best gear for a 5 AT. These figures aren't necessarily the highest WHP my car can do, but more so showing the gains.

Added 20 inch Wheels

These Wheels, Vertini Fairlady, were added today (02/08/2011) now that the Dyno runs are complete. Will invest in lowering the car at a future date.

Already Purchased

Very Popular combo in the US. All Purchased and on a ship here as we speak.

  • KurumaZ Front bumper
  • ChargeSpeed Rear Bumper
  • Impul Side Skirts

Future Mods

  • Lowering the car (Possibly 350z Springs)
  • Big Brake Kit (OEM Kit from the 370z)
  • Painting Roof Black.

If you're looking for any information on a product hit me up, i'd be happy to help you out. Matt Spry is also now looking into doing more UpRev tunes. I believe hes also looking into becoming Australia's first listed UpRev Osiris Tuner.

Let me know what you think. :)

Awesome! Thats a great result

I was trying to work out what I'll eventually do for an aftermarket ECU, I think I'll follow in your footsteps

Two of my mates have had cars tuned at PITS and they swear by him. Was installation of the Osiris difficult?

How loud is the Motordyne Shockwave when you lay the boot into it?

Installation was so simple. All you have to do is get your OBDII plug out, change a wire around, plug the supplied sipher cable from your OBDII to a USB on a laptop, turn the car to ON. Load the Flash file and you're done. The first load takes around 2 minutes to load up. After that its approximately 10 seconds per reflash.

The Shockwave TDX2 exhaust is an amazing piece of performance part. Its quiet when you're on the highway but when you put your foot down you don't want any police to be in a 1KM radius. I've been told from everyone who's driven behind me when i put my foot down i sound like a race car. So i guess thats a good thing? :P

Awesome car, we will have to catch up and go for a drive, i got 159kw stock (just fujitsubo exhaust) and then 170kw after DE y-pipe, test pipes, z-tube, pop charger, motordyne spacer.

I went to Matt and as good as he is the arrogance turned me away... I will be going to Gavin Woods, man he is a top guy, sat down and talked about what i needed and have he would work with me when i go FI. highly recommended !!

Also you have spent so much already, dont go springs, get some coilovers, sway bars (jawgy is selling some new cheap so hit him up). You will be so amazed, car will be a grip monster ! what size tyres you get and type?

Glad u got clear corners, and tinted windows! Cant wait till i see ur body kit on !

Im building a engine for 600HP but will only run at 450HP. Cant wait !

I've spoken a fair bit to Gavin Woods, only thing is he doesn't own his own Dyno. Which isn't really an issue. Just had a lot of people pushing me towards Matt, worked out okay. I think once you get to know him he's cool. We were working on my car from 5PM until 9:30PM that night and he wasn't complaining that i was keeping him late or anything. He gave me a really good price too because the first 3 hours of being on the dyno I was 80% of the time dealing with the guy in UK / waiting for email replies.

Yeah, i'll edit it to Coilovers, Sway bars aswell i guess in the future (They're pretty cheap aye?)

I believe the tyres are Accelera, 245 and 275. Needed something fairly cheap for now.

600HP is HUGE. You'll need to do a lot to keep the car running if you do plan on running it for a little bit at that HP. Even at 450HP i can see some issues arrising, but only time will tell. I'm assuming you car is a 6/MT?

Fair enough, get coil overs when ever as prices stay the same, RRP for sways is 320 front and 280 back or something but look here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/368787-whiteline-sway-bars-for-sale/ both for $460!!! Get them if you can, seriously the best thing you can do. Takes no time at all to put them in.

I was on Kumo KU31 245/285 and now was thinking of pilot super sport but went to hankook k12 evo as they are jsut as good but much cheaper. Getting them any day now.

Yeah alot of work being done to engine. Well i actually brought another engine to work on while i drive my car..

Full forged, camed and machined :)

You guys are inspiring me... please don't inspire to much! :D

How will the standard gearbox hold up to those numbers?

Im gearing mine up for a HKS SC kit at the start of next year. I keep moving away from the tubrbo kits as SC seems so much ezyr and less hassle with the exhaust compnents i think ill get the Transgo kit and also the spacer to. Can you remember the model of the transgo kit that you got?

  • 3 weeks later...

Sorry for the late reply. My Transgo kit was this one exactly.

Hope that helps.

Can i get an idea of how much you purchased

  • KurumaZ Front bumper
  • ChargeSpeed Rear Bumper
  • Impul Side Skirt

Thanks :)

And car is looking great, but i reckon you should slap on some jdm rims, like work vs-xx or bbs lm's :D

Hey mate. All three will be replica's and Purchased from www.strafeautomotive.com. I purchased:

  • Kurma Z Front
  • Impul Sides
  • Chargespeed /w Carbon Rear
  • Matte Finish Grill for Kurma Z Front
  • Black Xenon headlights V2

Amounting to the following amount: $1435 USD.

Maybe if i get serious about performance I might get some performance rims. But until then i'll wear my pretty one tonne rims. Haha.

nice powerfigures, about the same power im putting out.

i would be interested in purchasing your stock front and rear bars if you want to get rid of them. :)

Its a quick ride hey? :) I don't plan on selling my stock bodykit as its handy to have in case of a crash.

how much do the exhaust cost?

The Exhaust came in two parts. Motordyne Tuning Pipes and Motordyne Shockwave TDX2. The Tuning Pipes were $525 USD, the TDX2 was $1585 USD. Plus shipping + Installation. Probably ended up to be around 3 grand.

Wow damn $1435, is that including shipping? And grill you mean the mesh piece? Not a grill that replaces the oem one right? You getting poly or fb? Got any idea how long shipping takes? Sorry for all the questions as im looking at purchasing something similiar.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
