Looking At Getting A V35.

[vr4sthoz]

Hi all.. just really trying to get some info. Currently im driving a series 2 type-s legnum(fully optioned) and im contemplating looking for a swap to a v35..

What sort of police attention do you get in them(currently dont get looked at once even with 18" rgteks on it) also parts etc availability? Just really testing the waters atm.. any info would be good...

I don't ever get looked at - even with my old body kit and wheels hanging out the guards. Parts are easy as they are mechanically nearly identical to the 350Z, and parts are cheap out of the USA. Do you want a black one with lots of mods? Buy mine I am thinking about getting a V36

Cheers for the info.. prob looking at swapping etc.. and possibly the 4 door... still need to keep the family aspect of the car.

Think i will havw to go drive one.. going from twin turbo v6 to na 6 probably will be quite different...

What power is your Legnum making? My V35 makes 183rwkw with 600Nm of torque

[vr4sthoz]

Not sure on torque figure(mtq's dyno was stuffed) but 170awkw.

[Hotwire]

0-60kph you'd be hard pressed to find something that feels quicker than the Legnum (should know having owned 2 myself)

BUT they are a bit more gutless up top due to those pissy TD03's (as you'd know).

[vr4sthoz]

Yeah.. the turbos are tiny.. but handling etc makes up for it

Assume you had it tuned at MTA the other week - was 170 the actual dyno figure or the calculated figure', knowing the dyno was Reding low. Interested in what the actual was to compared to another.

[vr4sthoz]

Calculated plus i had a high flow cat chucked in.. we know it was out a bit.. looking 165awkw calculated plus the extra gain from the cat(had complience one on it) been told i should have gained an extra 5-10 out of that.. so i went the lower figure to be safe. Still might come out higher.. just waiting on the fixed results..

Ah just worked out that you are martins dad... i also own the white st165 celica.. steve said we should have all the figures this week... how did martins go?

[GeeDog]

He was first on Friday so they took ages trying to work out why the power was so low - was under 100 before the tune. Finished around 130, which he thinks is 160ish, through the auto trans. On sat night they reflashed the trans ecu to change shift points and shift peed. Overall a big improvement, but Its still a magna:) Steve said he was looking into v35ecu tuning.

[vr4sthoz]

What mods has he got atm? Mines front mount,walbro fp,trans cooler,3 port. Pulls hard all the way through.. alot different to before the tune.

[GeeDog]

Same mods as yours, plus new cop's (6), new unobtainium plugs, turbo hard pipes, and evo bov, and an exhaust.

[vr4sthoz]

Oh.. mine has the exhaust and evo x bov aswell. So same except the cop.. ill chuck u a message when steve lets me know..
