Paint finally done.

Looks good

What size spacers are you running on the front to fill the R34 guards out? 20 or 25mm?

Also looks like you have flared the rear guards as well?

My car would have looked very similar if I decided to stay with the factory silver

Can you provide a close up pic the the bonnet hinge mounts. I need to re fab mine.

cheers mike.

I think I joined your club 'fear of speed humps and spoon drains'.

and driveways. :)

my driveway is like a speedhump and i have to be +50º from straight to get out without scraping.

at least its a 2way driveway. so i have room to swing. otherwise i'd be fkd.

Thanks for all the comments.

30mm spacer on the front and the rears were flared when I bought it but I had them reshaped a bit because they looked pretty bad.

Color looks a little darker in the flesh. It's R35 gunmetal with a little silver added to it. Close enough I didn't need to do the door sills and still look ok.

Wheels are just resprayed the original Nur spec color.

Here's the only good pic I have of the hinges. You can also see the difference in color.

My latest purchase, crappy camera phone picture.

Would this have been on a car transporter a couple of weeks ago sporting NSW rego?

I spotted an S2 DAYZ on a truck heading south on Heaslip road a few weeks ago.

Neat ride.

:)

*EDIT*

Just noticed that it still has NSW rego in the photo

Took the bus to Prescott Hill and spent sunday going up it http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/

Running consistent 59s/1min runs all day which i was very pleased with considering the lack of power compared to most things running up the hill and the extra weight. Need to take more brave pills for the final corner (30ft straight drop to the left) and esses

  • 2 weeks later...

Been a bit of a lurker for a few weeks, so thought it was about time to put up a pic or two of the newly aquired wagz:

2002 M35 250 RS-V (yes, the VQ25DD with 4 speed auto). Had to buy it as imo its the only decent looking M35 i had seen to that point and the Impul kit really sets it off.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
