Damn, missed this one too, will have to keep an eye out for the next one.

While not strictly a V ....... spotted a black Infiniti FX50 S heading east on Cheltenham Rd, then north on Eastlink, 26/02 about 9.15am ..... man that machine looks mean!!

It looks the same as the image for the CX501A Clarion has on their website .... but what's the difference between the two?

I had my V serviced at Dandenong Nissan - seem like helpful folks down there - can't remember what it cost now but it wasn't outrageous. Last time I had it done at the Workshop in Mentone as it's way closer to home - managed to get a good deal for them on Scoopon. PM me if you want more details.

That's what I was going to do next, enquire about shipping, as I didn't know how heavy they'd be... thanks for the tip!

I'm in need of new pads, and more than likely rotors for the rear at least. Has anyone dealt with these guys before? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/03-04-05-Nissan-350Z-G35-Brake-Rotors-CERAMIC-Pads-/390176649174?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ad8572fd6#ht_972wt_905 Also, what's the advantage/disadvantage of cross-drilling and/or slots on the rotors? I presume cooling is one of them ....

Mine were 215/55R17 for the 300GT stockies, paid $185 each fitted

Tyres - it would be worth looking at www.online-tyres.com.au, just recently got a great deal on some Conti PremiumContact 2 from there. They're based in Melb but will ship to Bris.

Unfortunately that weekend is jam packed for me, but wouldn't mind joining in another time, if just to meet some other V owners!

I've just put one in (K&N) about 2 weeks ago - how often should I clean it?

yesterday, just after 3pm, pulled up next to a black 250GT sedan at the lights, pretty stock, Kirkham Rd in Dandenong, gave him a nod

Saw two coupes today, a silver one that lives in my area, and a blue one parked in a vacant lot on cnr of Karen St adjacent to Southland.

I'm currently running the RE050A - I think they were brand new when I got the car but can't be 100% on that. Anyhow, done a tad over 30k km on them, maybe 34k max, and they're worn out. Have ordered the Continental PremiumContact 2 which are going on tonight. Will let you know how they go.

Dunno if I should be bringing up this old thread again or not - wondering if anyone can tell me the wear rating for the Kumho KU31? Also, has anyone ever tried Continental ContiPremiumContact or ContiSportContact tyres?
