Pnm35 Build Thread

regarding the nissan brakes on the stagea.. what did you have to do , to get them to fit as i've been told only the fronts fit as the rear calipers have a different bolt spacing?

cheers

[PN-Mad]

I've only fitted the Fronts R32 GTR on. I used a shim to fill the space from 14-12mm. They are quite a good upgrade, and I don't find any bias issues from the upgrade.

My rears are stock. As you've said, the rears aren't bolt on. Brembos however are bolt on all round, with the obvious trim of stone guards.

ah cheers mate!

when you did the 350z mid pipe. asides from the extension was it a straight bolt up?

even thought the 350 pipe uses larger tubing, just have the chance to get a hold of one for my stagea if its an easy enough fit.!

cheers again!

[PN-Mad]

Yeah, it was fine. The only thing was it knocked a little on the driveshaft loop, over really big bumps. Pretty sure stiffer mounts would fix, but I just removed it.

[PN-Mad]

Well, she was asking for something shiny and gold coloured for Christmas, so what choice did I have??!!

If anyone is interested in a R32 GTR front setup (with sleeves to suit c34s2/m35) let me know via pm.

Rears as well Alex; or are you going to chase some down at a later date?

Does this mean moar powerz?

[PN-Mad]

Nah, just the fronts.

Nope, no more power planned. Unless my money tree fruits and I can get some headers and cats, the tune is pointless.

[Daleo]

Well mine isn't fruiting this year, so if you work it out; I'm open to suggestions!

Would you say they're much of a step up in power/feel?

[PN-Mad]

Hard to say.

I had a bit of a spongy pedal, but I think there was a smidge of air in the rears, cause after we bled that out it felt 1000x better. Would have liked to compare apples to apples.

They certainly provide very confident performance.

Massive brake upgrade with oem master cylinder..... confidence is a virtue

Should be taking the Berk HFC's off my car in the next month or two Alex.

Can put them with the unused & ceramic coated 350z headers that I have here if you are interested.

[PN-Mad]

Why you taking them off, Cam?

[iamhe77]

Putting decat pipes on with Z34 headers.

H2 injection will be the following step... well probably after new pads & rotors.

[PN-Mad]

Don't want to swap em for a r32 GTR front brake setup do ya ???

[iamhe77]

Sorry Bud, I like my Z34 Akebono's

[PN-Mad]

Ah, forgot you had those!!!

Put some details up some time of what your doing. H2 looks like black magic to me, I'd love to see the details and results.

[iamhe77]

Black magic indeed.

I was not sold on HHO injection, but have spoken to some Aussies that have done H2 injection (venting the oxygen prior to injection) and all results/testimonials are positive although they do vary with just how effective it has been.

Will certainly post with results/lack of results when I finally get to installing it all.

A bit of a pictorial wrap up of the first round of the Nulon Nationals at SMSP. Held on a wet skid pan, it's a Motorsport event that pits 9 forum based car clubs against each other in club level Motorsport events. I represented SAU NSW. The courses were measured out CAMS motorkhana courses, not very suited to our Nissans being much, much tighter than what we run in our texi days, however we put in a good showing and banked some good points to move onto the next rounds.

Thanks to the club Prez for the pics!

[PN-Mad]

And here is some in car footage of the day, showing the wheel work required for such tight courses!

Sorry for my fat melon being all over the pics
