Hey Guys,

Can anyone recommend someone to comply the 350GT Coupe?

I've checked on RAWS and found a few places, but they want $4500 for the work. Edward Lee's want $3500 but I've heard a few horror stories from there. Not for compliance, more so buying cars from them.

Cheers

Bobby

Thanks Nick,

Has anyone heard of GT Complaince in Lidcome - Ross Pendergast?

Just spoke to him, decent price and currently on 1 week turn around.

Oh - and i want to KEEP MY XENONS!

Spoke to SSPI and price and service seem excellent, but as part of complaince they destroy the Xenons.

If I find an already converted pair I can put them on for complaince and then swap back I suppose, but don't think finding V35 Coupe headlights is gonna be easy. :-(

Can't you make a deal with them?

Ripping out Xenon lights on R34s/V35s is a crime

Mate, I'll be doing everything in my power to keep them.

If I can't get around it, I'll probably go down the road of custom fiting halogens before the car goes to complaince and then popping the xenons in once I get teh car home.

I've seen a few headlights on Yahoo Auctions Japan, so I'll see what they go for, and if i get the car for cheaper then what I'm expecting this may be an option.

Do you think dealers that sell V35's will let me borrow the headlights for a fee? May be worth a try?

You may want to try to get the second set of headlights from the USA (G35 headlights).

It maybe cheaper and you can get it yourself (no Yahoo! Auctions middleman).

Also, if you get a new set of headlights, you may as well try getting some 2006 G/V35 lights which have a projector lens instead of reflector. It looks better and give better light output.

However, when they butcher the HIDs I don't know if they destroy the whole ballast unit or just the bulb... You may be out of pocket for the ballast so there's no point purchasing a set of headlights.

Good thing about G/V35s is that there are 2 markets we can buy stuff from.

i'm gonna pop into a few complaince places on the weekend to have a chat and see what my options are.

At the end of the day, would love to keep them and as said will do anything I can to do so, but I'm not about to spend thousands to do so.

I think the money will be better spent on other parts of the car.

Under "Common Law" every part of that car is yours, you can ask for the old tyres back everything, you just need to sign a stat dec saying you took them off the RAW as it is your property and he will file it with all his documents.

You can mod them for H1's with out damaging the HID and then fit them back in quite easy after it has been registered but that is your decision, a good mod cost's around $150 to $200 with H1's still wired in if ever needed.

Thanks DRIFT,

I think I may take that route, and sign the stat dec. Makes no sense to hand over perfectly usable tires.

I'll see how I go with the compliance workshop I end up choosing and take it from there. I've got no issue with paying $150-$200 if that allows me to keep the Xenons. Much cheeper than any other option.

I may be in touch once the car is here to get more info on the mod to H1 if I have any probs.

What criteria do you have your V35 NISMO?

Oh and sign up to http://g35driver.com/forums/ if you haven't already - wealth of information there.

The only must have at this stage is 6sp manual, and Brembo's.

Colour, for now is first Black, then white. But I'm too impatient so might have to settle for Silver.

Auction grade of at least 4.5

I originally wanted a Premium for the Bose, and Sat Nav, but I've heard that the Bose is not the best, and know that Sat Nav does jack all here, so not too fussed there.

Yeah, I've been on G35 Driver for over a year now. Those yanks make me laugh some times. :-)

Love how they refer to beating someone in a traffic light drag as "Kill Stories"

Guys, another quick question.

I have the latest shape Maxima at home and was wondering, if the wheels are interchangeable with the V35, can i swap these at home and then take the care in for complaince, and this way not have to pay for new tyres?

Is there any specifics during compliance which state you must have the original wheels the car was manufactured with?

Cheers

Bobby

You need new tyres (except for the spare) as part of SEVS.

The rims on the car must be in accordance with the RAWS' sample evidence which was submitted and shown on the vehicle inspection certificate which is submitted to DOTARS. If the RAWS got V35 compliance with Maxima wheels fitted then that would be okay. If there is a discrepancy it wouldn't be allowed.

Thanks guys for all the advice,

I've booked the plates with SSPI.

Spoke to Chris the other day, and spent 5 mins talking complaince, and almost 40mins talking V35's. He's got his own one so that with the feedback on here, I'm confident he can do a good job.

cheers

Bobby

i am a bit more patient then you are i think lol i have been waiting 3months so far for a decent one to pop up, and nothing yet

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
