his is different. unless carwings has bee cracked that one will be a no go.

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!

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
