Jakeys R36

[Felixrising]

As Jakeys mentioned... I've read reviews and heard others on here say that the ACC stuff isn't as good as the non-ACC stock R36 suspension... I have no experience in a non-ACC R36, but honestly, I drive in "Comfort 95% of the time, "normal" 4% of the time and "sport" when I feel like being shaken up... which is clearly not often. Then again, I recently became a dad and my daddy-wagon is therefore not getting much solo "fun" driving opportunities.

Yeah, those rails look good. Maybe an option NZ decided to bring in... I've not seen any B6 series in Australia with it during my pre-purchase searching.

Jakeys, why don't you live in Melbourne? So I could come over and borrow your VCDS?!

My previous car had coilover suspension, the R36 is like a soft boat by comparison! I wouldn't have it any less responsive than it already is, but then I'm young and drive too quickly

The rails are kinda nifty, but are completely new to me! I've got the cargo net in though, I prefer that.

As for my VCDS, I'm actually borrowing this one myself and have to give it back on Monday, but I have already ordered my own. It's pretty awesome, I'm a Mac guy so I'm running a Windows XP VM on my Macbook Air connected to the OBD in the car, and then I'm remoting into that from my iMac in my house over wifi. Changing settings from the comfort of my desk!

Thanks guys. Very helpful info.

When I get an R36 I'll post something here.

Not many cars to choose from though, so will probably have to compromise on something.

I don't update this thread much, but this has been a big mod week for me. I replaced my rashed wheels with mint condition new ones, so now they're spotless and running Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003's. They're not as good as my old Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's but they're close. I'll spare you that pic.

I also installed my DRL's, which has been a long time coming.



And here's a vid a mate took of the iPE catback valvetronic exhaust for anyone curious how it sounds.

Aside from that, I've recently put on some Climair Sport black inline weathershields, I've done a ton of little OEM+ style mods all over the place but the major ones are in my signature. Next up I've got the OEM headlight covers and possibly the OEM bonnet cover too, OEM Dynaudio amplifier going in with a custom harness, and either OEM Dynaudio or aftermarket equivelant Dynaudio speakers will be in the future. I also need the blued titanium tips for the exhaust but that probably won't be this year as everything iPe is just stupid expensive.

Geez that sounds good!

Sounds great - a bit like a Nissan 370z / R35 GTR exhaust.

Yeah, it does sound good. Sometimes it would be nice to be single and no kids so that I could mod my current car!! But at the same time, it is nice sometimes to just cruise around in silent mode!

Well I'm not single, but I do have no kids. Still, I'd mod this thing a lot more if it was more reliable and cheaper to mod, they're bloody expensive vehicles!
