Hi buddy, Not sure what you mean by getting them 'fixed'. Are your rims damaged currently? I don't see how a brand of rims tend to be better than another brand too, with the exception of forged or lightweight rims. IMO, rims are mostly for aesthetics. Just to add ( and to rant! ), I recently had to change my 19" bridgestone 225/40 front tire as it exploded on me - cost me $600 for one piece!!!

Coil-over Plug Plasma Direct
siglapian replied to V35_Paul's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
A few years back, my tuner highly recommended this product, but unfortunately I didn't get the specifics of why and what it could do for your engine. Well anyways, I chanced upon a 2nd-hand set and installed it for my Subaru Forester Turbo. Unfortunately even after tuning there was no discernable difference to my butt dyno, so I don't recommend getting it. -
V35 Compliance - What Is Actually Done?
siglapian replied to Arcos's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
I'm the 2nd owner of my car since it was imported; when purchased, there was no evidence to suggest that an Australian standard immobiliser has been installed. No dangling proximity thingy, nothing. Either it was professionally integrated into the carkey or it wasn't installed somehow. So had it been stolen at that point in time, would insurance pay up? PS. I've since installed an aftermarket Australian immobilisation system. -
V35 Compliance - What Is Actually Done?
siglapian replied to Arcos's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
This might be a dumb question but... Are all complianced cars supposed to come with an Aussie-standard immobiliser? In actually fact, does someone really find the time to install them or do importers find a way to bypass this? Thus, what are the chances of a V35 not coming with an Aussie-standard immobiliser, and, since all imported cars are supposed to be aussie-standard immobiliser equipped, are they all automatically theft insurance ready? -
Imported V35 Owner Questions
siglapian replied to Akumaru's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
How do you guys get 600km per tank? Granted, I have the 5-speed auto and not the manual, but I only get like 5-8km/l. I can only get 600km per tank (approx 10km/l) on 100% highway driving. PS. I got mine through a private seller on carsales. Been working flawlessly ever since, fortunately. -
2005 And Older Model Is It True What They Say?
siglapian replied to LatinR33's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
I own a late 2004 V35 and so far, every thing has been working perfectly. No dramas at all, touch wood. I used to own a Subaru Forester 2005 and the driver's window failed on me too in 3 years. According the forums, it was a common occurrence in Subaru as well. As such, I feel it's inherent in most motor cars, mate, luck of the draw. -
Water Dripping Under The Car. Any Problem?
siglapian replied to tonich's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
I reckon it's water from the air conditioner. Happens to every car. Try not using the air-con and check if the water still drips. -
Which Fuel To Fill Up Your 350gt ?
siglapian replied to ripstah's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
Yes I agree, I'm using Caltex 98 recently because of the Safeway promotion and only get 150km around the half-tank mark! Used to use Mobil 98 which brought me at least 200+ km. I've tried Shell and BP - they are both alright, but Mobil seems the most consistent with my V35. -
What Songs Do You Play In Your V? :p
siglapian replied to Ezy03's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
Coldplay - Viva La Vida album Ministry of Sound - Chillout Sessions XI Disc 1 <--- OMG this CD is f'n awesome!!! A burnt rap, rnb album And a few others too embarrassing to mention. Get the MOS CD!! -
pw350gt - why Stillen, if I may ask? the Fujita in black looks wicked sick man, whilst the JWT has the best reviews/price.

that's a brilliant explanation with great pics too... Previously I would have disagreed, but now I can totally see your point with having wheels look like tits!

The V Series Spotted Thread
siglapian replied to funkymonkey's topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
Yup, I spotted MILLOS ( Pablo ) and CPV35 finishing treatment in Boronia whilst I was there for a one-hour job on Wednesday arvo. Didn't get to see you guys though! Maybe next time... -
Project Mu Racing Spec Brakes Setup
siglapian replied to _L8RSXY_'s topic in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti
Not true, I was actually looking at a brand new Endless BBK set-up costing USD$6k, just for my own looks and enjoyment. I definitely wouldn't be constantly tracking, but would enjoy the stopping power on the street. Of course, I can't afford it, and can only dream. I disagree that you have to be nuts to buy expensive BBK and not go tracking. Firstly, expensive is a relative word. Secondly, BBK IMO looks f'n great. No head-turning car looks complete without a massive, striking set of BBKs. So to each his own, these Project mUs are beautiful, matches Kareem's V35 body paint and hope it gets a nice new owner!
