Hi Chis

I have been advised that this system may be a possibility. I understand that the system has been coverted on the V35 up to 11/2005.

We are looking at a July / August time line for the conversion. I will keep you posted on the progress.

Cheers

Andy

Say hi to V-SPOT for me will ya :D For those of you who frequent G35driver you will know where I got this from...

Lowered 1" all round with a set of 350z struts and springs

Before:

After fitting Z suspension:

The Z suspension has made for a slightly firmer ride while maintaining comfort...body roll has been greatly diminished...feels great! Cheapest suspension mod I've done by far on any of my cars..Now does anyone know how to remove that damn piece of black plastic bumper protector just below the front bar? Its scraping everytime I roll out of my driveway.

Wheels next...watch this space :ermm:

Pretty sure chrome exterior comes standard.

Nice ride NISMO, so clean and sleek. Thinking of putting that zymol stuff on my car. Also thinking of the permagard ($$$$) so I don't ever have to do it again!

Where did you get the Z suspension from? I'm looking for lowered suspension that doesn't sacrifice ride comfort too much and from what you described, its the most ideal one.

Just noticed those weather shields on your windows. Take them off!!!!!

I took them off and it made my car look way better. Less old man/woman ish.

I'm a smoker and i know how convenient they are in the rain, but damn... they look so bad!

Took my stupid spoiler off too, left 5 holes on the boot. Got some rubber plugs in them but i think it still looks better.

Just my opinion though. :P

i am thinking of getting a v35 sedan too. Nice clean car.

where did you get the chrome trims around the door handle and window from?

any bodykit in future?

Pretty sure the chrome trim is factory standard.

As for bodykit...the only thing I am looking at adding is the OEM front lip and also possibly an M3 lip spoiler on the bootlid.

I way ahead of you ;) Took my drivers side one off yesterday and spent about 2 hrs trying to get all the residue off! Another 3 more to do..I also took the chrome side door protectors off over the weekend...that also took me quite a while to get the sticky stuff off :P

I got it from a workshop who recently fitted a set of coilovers to a 350z. Try looking in the 350z-tech forums under aussie classifieds. The wreckers may be a good place to search as well. If you can get a full set of suspension in good condition is definately a worthwhile suspension mod...

i heard a 350z tein s tech spring can be used for lowering. is this true? was it a better option to change over to a stock z's suspension? sorry, i am really keen of getting a sedan myself and is presently trying to pick things up before getting one.

There's not really a hard and fast rule on which combo is better. Yes the Tein S Techs are a common upgrade for the V35. I chose the Z suspension because it was available then and there, cheaper and also it was a matching shock and spring combo.

Read here for the different spring rates of various springs available:

It took me about 3 hours to take all 4 off. With the residue and other sticky stuff like glue from stickers, I use nail polish remover to get it off. Borrow some off your mum/girlfriend/sister and give it a try. Its also good for taking dry chewing gum off your jeans! :P

The NISMO S-TUNE SUSPENSION KIT as fitted to 6 Speed PV35's can be sourced from Japan Parts it is available for CPV35's and a complete NISMO suspension kit with sway bars is another option, Nissan sell a BILSTEIN SPORTS SUSPENSION KIT which is listed individually for the 3 engine sizes in the sedan, info on Spring Rates and height it drops the car is listed.

Nice! Really like the clear indicators make the car look even better than before (almost impossible) Not sure when i'm going back to the states but will keep updated, might be able to organise a group buy while i'm there, which should make a difference on our dollar being so low.

Glad your happy about your purchase, apologise again for the delay for when I got back.

Can you please supply the Part number and what year model it fitted?

I just received my Nissan Genuine Clears. Hoping to fit tomorrow night.

Part B61F0 - AM900. That is for my 2003 CPV35

I got mine of a dude in the States via Ebay $55 delivered and got here in 10 days (customs must have been slow).Don't buy the cheapies!

Edited by Data Queue

hey guys im thinking of getting another set of clears in

as nice as the flat ones are, i saw an '06 model the other day which had like a protruded bulge on its clear corners

anyone have the jdm part number for the '06 model clear corner lights?

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
