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!

Edited by NISMO

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 searching for a V35 right now too

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

Black, 6spd man, premium pack and brembos. been looking for ages.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
