M35 Vq25Det

[Beatrix-Kiddo]

Hey guys, picking myself up a 2003 M35 on the weekend, was wondering out of interest if anyone knew the 0-100 time stock? just curious as my last car was 7.0 seconds on the dot and the Stagea feels faster.

Ideas? Opinions?

IIRC, mid to high 6's....

Search for an older thead comparing the M35 to the VE SS SportsWagon...

That was a good thread From my perspective I think a shade over 7 seconds for stock, but that could have been the dodgy Iphone app I was using to time it. It does feel quicker than that tho.

I think most time is lost with the throttle restriction in the first 30-40km/hr. Spend $1 & cut the ECU brake wire & put it via a switch (search for posts on this). That could shave half to 1 second off.

And welcome!

Thanks Guys! yeah i didn't give myself an intro, il do that when i take delivery of the goods. Wanted an M35 for so long, and finally ... Its time haha

Yeah I don't know if I trust those apps. The fastest time I got was 5.3 or 5.4 according to some Android app...this is after the car being tuned but before cutting the wire...

The only accurate method is to go to a drag strip...

i dunno, the g-tek timers were fairly consistent with the track timers when they did a test in fast fours or some magazine like that

the iphone has GPS and an accellerometer(spelling) so its probably reliable.

there was a BMW branded one on the istore a while back. i never tested it

Read on for a few pages - you should install a switch so you can "reconnect" it every so often. That will stop the check engine light coming up.
