  1. Waiting for Dreadnought to come back with some info, hopefully a groupbuy for SPL's can happen.
  2. I agree, I'm already regretting thinking about selling it, LOL... Relax guys! I'm still considering all the options I could do for my exhaust, cause I don't wanna sell it yet until I sort it out with something else... I'll let you all know when I'm ready or not to sell.
  3. Been considering selling mine for the right price of course (otherwise I'm happy and have no problems in keeping it), just have to figure out what to get... There's nothing wrong with it or not that I don't like it, cause I want to change out my cats and the CBE might be a bit too loud with HFC's...
  4. If you're on a budget, why don't you just get HFC instead of a CBE or muffler?
  5. Nice ballin' amps there!
  6. I'm selling my spare set of 18's with about 70-80% tire tread left for $500 pickup in Melbourne (or maybe my current set of 20's for the right price though). PM me, if you're interested in either or both...
  7. I'm not either, best to order it from the States cause they already have them made from moulds, instead of some guy doing it for the first time fiddling around. It pretty much slots in, plug and play, have a look on eBay or other V35 or G35 related sites and forums. Last time I saw it was about $350 each side, there's some fibreglass work as well hence the price.
  8. You can do what I've go done (only one side though), a custom side mount box for both sides if you want two subs, but the subs is best to be ten inches (you might get away with twelve inches but less space) and you will have to remove or relocate your jack.

  11. Does anyone have video editing software? I need to fix some videos I recorded upside down on the iphone and also cut a long or big file to upload. If someone can do it for me or preferably have a laptop, would be greatly appreciated!

    Earthquake

    Yeah felt it for about 10 seconds, the desk and computer was shaking and the seat I'm sitting on was swaying side to side. Initially thought some knob crashed into the house, since we rarely do get strong earthquakes...
  13. Hey, Have a read of my thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/402404-stillen-sway-bar-problem/), it shouldn't be a problem with other parts where bushings are. But if you are changing sway bars and depending on their thickness, you're best to get the sway bar D bushings for it as well. Finding sway bars with the same thickness size as OE would be much better in the long term to source. Energy Suspension has a good range of products and that's probably where I'm gonna get my sway bar D bushings from. They have a complete kit of bushings for our cars as well, if that's what you're after.
  14. Imperial units should be abolished, it makes no sense and the SI (standard international) or metric units are better, especially for unit conversion. But hey it might make sense for them...?
  15. Yeah I'll be down for a SPL Pro group buy. They got a fair bit of suspension parts, check them out (http://www.splparts.com/chassis-V35.html).
  16. Yeah I've been looking at them, so it will be either SPC or SPL Pro. Would I need rear toe arms or anything else as well to get the camber back to stock? The guy at Centreline Suspension already had a look for D bushings for me including the Superpro catalog in order to get the sway bars installed. He said that 33mm are the biggest size in Australia... Yeah I've been searching for 35mm D bushings, but I only find them as universal types. Hopefully they do fit, since its 'universal', so far only Pedder and Energy Suspension have 35mm diameter D bushings. I'm not sure about the Pedders supplying the D mounting brackets and Energy Suspension do supply D mounting brackets, but I'm not sure if it does come with or buy separately. I have been looking at the complete kit from Energy Suspension (http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=6264&Car_Type=G35&UID=2012061305401327.32.205.251) (http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/Installation_Instructions/Energy_Suspension/17564.pdf). I wonder and assume that most of all the other aftermarket suspension parts are the same size as OE, cause if they are different then this complete kit may become redundant and it comes with OE size sway bar bushings, so I'm relucant to jump on it straight away. I might just get what I need now, rear camber arms, sway bar D bushings and mounting brackets. G35 Driver has said that the size of the OE sway bars are 34mm (front) and 21mm (rears), can anyone confirm this? If so, I find it strange that the sway bars could not fit into the OE bushings, its only 1mm difference. Also, anyone know what size our mounting bracket size are? Energy suspension has two sizes, I presume it is the smaller size pictured on the left (http://energysuspension.com/universal-products/sway-bar-bushings.html).
  17. Might be a silly question, but can the rears be used for camber or toe, like an universal arm or are they all different parts? The way the site is set out, implies its an universal arm with all the description under one heading. I really want the SPL Pro products, but I need to separate what I want from what I need, spending too much already...
  18. I was getting coilovers installed and I thought might as well get the sway bars installed too at the same time. I'm not confident enough to fit coilovers, but now in hindersight I should of just fit the sway bars myself and save money, which ended up in nothing and costed me. Well, they guy explained to me that the stock bushings were 32/33mm and it didnt fit in the mounting bracket. At least I know what I should be looking for now and also to check the measurements myself before trying to get stuff installed. I called up Pedders and they can order in some 35mm bushings, but I might end up getting Energy Suspension bushings instead. I'm just wondering if all the sway bar bushings are the same size on the outside and the inside (where the sway bars fit through) diamater is the only variable size? I don't wanna be caught off again by details. Anyways, I got the coilovers installed. Minor annoyance with the rear adjuster cables, but majorly annoyed now that I need to fix the rear cambers back to stock degrees. The guy said he put it full positive with the stocks to counter the negative camber, but there is quite a bit of it still. I have to find adjustable rear camber arms that can shorten to pull the bottom side of the wheel back in. Anyone with suggestions, experiences or advice, please help it be much appreciated. Cheers...
  19. Hey all, I bought a set of Stillen Sway Bars for my 2004 Skyline 350GT V35 Coupe and it is currently at Centreline Suspension getting installed. The guy told me it doesn't fit and asked if the sway bars came with bushings, but it didn't cause Stillen states that it can use stock bushings. The sway bar thickness are 35mm fronts and 22mm rears, other brands have different thicknesses. I wonder if the guy actually unbotled the frame mounts instead of trying to squeeze the sways bar throught the hole. Has anyone encountered this problem before with sway bars, particularly Stillen? If this is a legit problem where can I find bushings to make them fit? Cheers...
  20. Welcome abroad and sorry to hear about your baby G or V, their parents should be paying for the damages.
  21. VIC plates? Cool, I hope to hear it in person.
  22. Auto here and I'm averaging about 400km per tank with 20" wheels, before I think it was 500km per tank with 18" wheels. Driving is short and mostly on arterial roads with minimal traffic lights. After installing some mods, I hope the tune will improve the consumption some what, if any... To be honest, I like the km/l better than l/100km. But been in Australia, we tend to over complicate things when it shouldn't be...
  23. I wonder if we would ever achieve or beat the massive meet in the States (http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/video/7344866-thousand-of-cars-crash-parking-lot-in-burbank/), in Australia. It can be done but, requires a lot of organising amongst other car clubs to get the numbers.
  24. - Motordyne plenum spacer - Motordyne ART pipes - Motordyne Shockwave Dual V1 with HFC module (if you can still get this) or Shockwave TDX2 You be set then!
