Cheers :) I can't recommend these cars highly enough. It's an evolutionary mile in front of my old R33 GT-R.

never heard of empire parts for the r35

do you have any pics of your intercooler hard pipe kit? is this fab'd in aus?

You wouldn't have heard of us (Empire is my company) as we've only been supplying wholesale parts to Western Australian shops for the last 6 years. We are only now expanding the 'brand' into selling retail Australia wide.

We're also a sponsor on here.

I can send pictures of the hard-pipe kit to your e-mail if you're interested (just shoot me a PM). The piping kit is only $499, but naturally for that price they are fabricated in China for us.

can you confirm empire performance is a responsibility company?

LOL - yes, we don't sell 'purpo' paint.

Couple of updates:

Plugged the COBB AccessPort into it the other day and put a map in it from COBB, 15psi and relatively aggressive. Saw a little too much knock on a data log, so decided to load a more conservative 14psi map into it as I won't get a chance to throw it on the dyno until the 22nd.

Also loaded up LC5 (launch control from the 2012 models). It now paints all 4 off the line and launches from 4400rpm. So good.

Took it to the motorplex tonight. Only did 1 run - 11.32 @ 121mph, 1.72 60' time :)

Intakes, inlets, dump pipes,injectors, fuel pumps all should be going in next week :)

Video from a run with Brendan in the car, was still an 11.5.

Congrats on the car, looks very nice in GMG. Do you have wheel spacers on it, since its filling the guards really nicely.

Your company offer reasonably priced parts, very impressive. I know where I'll be looking when my 35 rocks up :cheers:

More mods!

Now have the full Empire Performance 'Stage 2' kit installed on the car. $5,500 for all the parts required, and this is the result:

Stock power:
416awhp @ 11psi (570Nm)
Now:
538awhp @ 17psi (761Nm)
Still running BP 98!

Feels ridiculous now. 34% increase in torque, 30% increase in power.
Will be going to the Motorplex the next chance I get.

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
