Hells yeah, that's better than my guy.

I'm in mate.

cool.. even if they ae shit, for $16 who really cares?

i've emailed them my address and will letyou know whenthe soarer set arrives and i'll take some pics

hopefully they will make them and put them for sale on eBay thus saving me the hassle of having to organise distributing them all..

Also remember there are a couple of different colours of buttons across various models.....

Button colour won't matter, as the stickers are text only, everything else is clear see through.

Hmmm, wouldn't you see the Jap writing as well then ???

Check out the ones on ebay above, they are black.

If they do not match the colour of your buttons closely, they may look a bit poxy....

Awesome, thanks mate. Will be waiting!

ok i've uploaded two pictures of how it turned out, but let me first explain..

the soarer buttons arrived via express post and the seller has kindly given me this set to have a look at myself and see the quality

i lined up the buttons and my first impressions were

- the buttons are the set specifically for the soarer so as their buttons are all smaller, there were none that were of a size big enough to cover an entire button so i couldn't really get a full idea of it

- the colour of the sticker was a gloss jet black, but the buttons we have aren't as strong in colour, more of a dark-grey-ish matt black

so i cleaned the buttons and stuck on one of them to see how it looks

note: this requires a set of tweasers to line up peroperly.. i did not line it up properly because i was in a rush. i also did not stick it down fully because i had intended on removing it immediately after and didn't want to it to leave residue

the pictures show how it looks

my impressions:

- you can see the colour is a little darker

- you can also see that its the wrong size. i believe that if it were the correct size it would look much better you wouldn't even see the edges

- you can also see that i haven't stuck it down proerly and that it is on an angle

- i think it looks good if it were able to be made in a matt finish

so what does everyone think for $16 a set?

i have measured out buttons and will give him the correct sizes...

should i tell him:

a) go ahead

b) go ahead, but make the buttons a different colour

c) go ahead but make the stickers a "matt" finish like the stock buttons

d) don't bother we don't like them..

personally i think option "c" but i'll wait for a couple of opinions before i tell him exactly what we want

cheers,

Warren

Yeah,

If they could match the colour to the stock buttons it would make it much better.

Could you get him to make them to size?

If not size, i'd be happy to try a set if they were correct colour in matt finish.

Cheers

he will make them to our sizes, its just that the set he sent was a set for the soarer whichhas much smaller buttons

he has yet to make any for us, and was waiting on the outcome of this to determine if we wanted to go ahead, then he would cut them to the correct sizes and put the correct words on for us

as far as the colour goes, i feel that if they were in a matt finish the colour would be right, i think its just the gloss that looks funny

maybe i'll see if he can make a set to the right size and matt as a second test. i'll happily pay for a test set that is V35 specific but i'm not sure if they will make a "one-off" or if they only make in batches

Yeah well i'm in.

Once he has made them. Will he place them on ebay so we can buy them off him direct to save you distributing them?

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
