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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
