Shopping Trolley I'm in Christchurch and the muffler in my first photo was the stock one. The muffler in the new photos is part of the 3" custom exhaust system from turbo back. Bit loud and drones too much so will get a mid muffler put in to knock it right back. We weren't too sure how it would sound so started with a couple of rez and a rear muffler.

My M35 is just the standard kit. You should be able to see if there would be any problem from the photo's if you have an aero kit.

No photos when I took the rear bumper off but all that is there is the rear impact beam in place of the towbar.

$240NZD including wiring to hook up to your car just like the photo's. It doesn't include any tricky plugs that connects to the factory lighting of the cars rear lights, just the plug you see with the cable so if you want you can source the plug over there. It's a standard Narva trailer plug.

So shipping to Sydney? I can get a price sorted, just need to know how many are interested for size and weight etc?

LOCAL UPDATE

There is a company in Leichardt, Sydney (Fast Fit) that has engineered a tow bar to fit the M35.

It is not a heavy duty tow bar and is rated about 1000kg (the women I spoke to was not 100% sure this was the right rating so I suspect it will be 1250kg as this is the rating of most normal towbars).

It is concealed behind the bumper and has a straight tongue. (sounds like the one from NZ)

Price quoted. $490 including fitting and wiring.

I think I will go with the local option.

Cheers

Andy

PS. Thanks for all the info Rhys

Rhys, what's the weight rating...looks like a neat setup....well done.

It's rated at 1500 kgs braked. They guy informed me that 'all our towbars are welded & manufactured by certified welders (NZ4711) and designed in accordance with manufacturers specifications'.

The towbar is painted not powder coated. The paint is satin black.

From the first photos I posted up you can see they design their towbars very well. They lap metal over main bar then weld it back onto the box section all around the top, back, sides and bottom. The tongue is lapped behined the main bar and welded around. Very strong.

I have this bar fitted to my m35, Alex at Nagoya threw it in to sweeten the deal when I bought. It is a very simple setup, but just bolts thru the boot floor in the tyre well with some plates. Definitely not heavy duty, have been using without issue so far, but the unzud towbar is a much better proposition, imo.

I got a chance to have a look at the tow bar from Fast Fit in Leichardt on Saturday.

The bar mounts across the back of the car inside the rear bumper and has a tongue that also mounts into the wheel well. So it has 3 key mounting points. Either side on the rails and into the wheel well. The only part you will see is the tongue that comes out through the rear bumper.

The work shop looked very good and the people very helpful. I will post some pics once installed this week.

Cheers

Andy

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
