My Visit to Mine's...
Went to Mine's this morning. Those guys are great. Thanks Nick for telling them about the exhaust. Everything was ready when I turned up at 9am and the ECU and exhaust fitted within 1 hour. Great Service.
ECU: Man oh man, I don't know what they did to the mapping but the things pulls crazily fast now in 2nd and 3rd. I mean absolutely nuts. It was fast before but now it's insane. There was a black GT-R in front of my on the Daisan Keihin coming back. He slotted in behind me so I floored it a little to see if he was playing. sure enough, he had a low gear selected and he was giving it some. So, I dropped a gear and floored it. He slowly but gradually disappeared in my rear view. I slowed down after a while and let him pull along side. Got a big thumbs up from him and a obviously he was curious what just happened. He also pointed to the exhaust... Exhaust: Very quiet, looks fantastic, much nicer cleaner sound than the stock exhaust. You can tell it's freer flowing than stock too just by the way it pulls and on downshifts you here a more mechanical rev match. Looks the dogs danglies too:      |

1st tuned R35 in private hands?? A real Stage 1 tune?? I'm presuming the limiter has been removed. Wow, things are moving fast, I may have to seriously rethink my budget this year.
You made no mistake going with red, it is absolutely stunning. I'd personally add the Amuse rear wing, then head out and go hypercar hunting!

Some motivation for you: You would definitely be "The First" to post an actual sound-clip up of an aftermarket exhaust on the R35.  A week is a pretty long time and that opportunity may just pass you by. History may be made without you.  j/k |

I buy my touch-up paint at Tamiya Korea - it's the only spot-on gunmetal grey color match. I once bought a can, then straightaway went to the parking lot and touched up my lower splitter. One of the staff was out there running an R/C car had this confused look on his face and I told him "hey, it's my model GT-R, scale 1:1
"
