  1. My sill plates are skyline too, although the car was entirely badged Inifinit (including the steering wheel). They also have stamped individual number on them (00006 in my case) , I'm just wondering what that indicates.
  2. - Ryan, Thats a good approach, although I've taken the reverse and sorted the handling, then looked at power gains. I recommend either sway bars or adjustable suspension on the handling and in terms of performance, the best value so far is probably the plenum spacer, which I suppose is considered part of the intake. Cheap and noticeable improvements, even before a tune. It also claims to increase fuel efficiency but I'm sure I unbalance that with my driving. - Sheldon, yeah love the 70th's. Have you got the numbered sill plates, and are they Skyline or Inifiti?
  3. Hey, I'm S.E. based and keen for Saturday 17th
  4. Hi Ryan, I'm doing the same thing, started with a stock premium pack V (70th anniversary ed) in May and have done suspension, intake, exhaust and wheels so far. Here's my (limited) experience, for what its worth... Hawthorn Tyrepower has the best selection of rims IMO, and are the only Aussie distributor for ADV.1. Being at the end of the supply chain means they cant influence delivery times as much as they'd like to, so be prepared to wait for shipping, but they are friendly and knowledgeable as hell. They have a couple of R35 GTR's as their promo vehicles with nice exhausts/tunes from Revzone (below). Centreline Suspension in Thomastown is amazingly good, from what I gather Chris works on V8 supercars and the shop is littered with his track cars, but he is just as happy slamming some Bilstein coil-overs into a V. He knows his stuff, that's for sure. Cant say enough about Centreline and the guys, pity its such a hike for me. They did a top quality job of installing coilovers, lipping the guards and cambering in the rears. Revzone in Ringwood have just fitted a full custom stainless Magnaflow system with 370 Hi-flow cats, a Skunk2 plenum spacer and boxed up the Nismo intake perfectly . George really knows his VQ35's, having done just about everything you can to them in V35sand 350's. Both Centreline and Revzone do everything except body work, so I'm still looking for someone good for lips and spoilers etc. I'm actually just down the road from you, near Boxhill, so let me know if you need any further advice or if you want to have a look
  5. Thanks Cobey, Definitely camber arms then, I don't really like or want to wide-body it, and love camber. Any recommendations on a good manufacturer or supplier in Aust? Are you running dish or concave on the new rims? Cheers
  6. For sale are 4x Lowered King Springs for a V35 or 350Z. Originally from Dodes47, by way of Edwin (both on the forum) I bought these with the car in May 2011, unfitted and ready to roll. I've since gone for coilovers and dont need these, so they're going back to the SAU community. Replaces stock springs for a lower ride height and stiffer handling. Pics as required (4x Lowered King Spings, red; 2x front, 2x rear) Best offer + postage from Vic, not greedy so first reasonable one gets 'em Pls pm me or reply in the thread
  7. Hey, I'm actually in Melbourne The ADV's are pretty heavily concaved at 10.5 wide, I've att some photos that hopefully show the stretch and width outside guard. She's a bit dirty but I guess that suits the driver Phone photos will have to do for the time being, sorry for the size.
  8. Hi Cobey, Thanks for the help mate, I have to say you're fitment along with Robzone on G35 inspired me to do it... The fronts are a recent change from 20.8.5's. I don't have the offset details at work, so just spoke with the importer, they think its +18 front and +15 rear from memory. I'll confirm, but yeah to my mind there is no way they'll fit under fully without further rolling the guards out by hand. Had to accept the offset to keep the concave and still clear the brembo's. I'm not even sure I have any clearance to camber the tops in, but we'll see... last resort is a set of Seibon wide guards I guess. Cheers
  9. Hi Guys n Gals, I've recently fitted 20x10.5's front and back (ADV 5.1's), no spacers and no machining, under Bilstein fully adjustable coil-overs. Pretty aggressive at the front, lots of tyre stretch and I still need to get some upper camber control arms and likely roll out the guards. The rear sits perfectly with no rubbing just using a mild setting on the factory lower camber arms and lipping the rear guards (Chris at Centreline Suspension is truly a master at fitment, just need to arrange him to fit the fronts under). Pics as soon as someone gets a camera that's not my phone, it struggles focusing on all black. Cheers
  10. Hi Guys n Gals, New to SAU, recently bought an '04 V35. Installed Nismo cold air intake and mounted on ADV1.5's. Next is some TEIN suspension and an exhaust (undecided). Great site, Thanks
