Silly me forgot to post. I have seen a Silver V36 on the M4 few weeks ago. and another coupe (light Champagne colour) two weeks ago inside Japlink Motors with its front bumber being removed, had nice chrome rims with blue centre, running Toyo tyres I think. Thing had more plugs than a lego set -and that was just the front Bumper. !! Seem to be mostly silver, ones around. I have seen the graphite one months back. I think that was a dealer car. Obviously a more sophisticated engine /electronics/trim in the 36 -Personally prefer the proportion of the v35 specially the rear.

Rianto- all I seen is coupes even in the dealers. Havent seen a single sedan yet

Spotted a nice red Coupe on Rocky Point Road (Sandringham???) in Sydney.

Infinity badged with US G35 tail lights and stock wheels. Very, very dark windows. Anyone here?

That would be me :nyaanyaa:

Believe it or not, the tail lights are stock JDM... gotta love Series 3's :)

What were you driving, i've spotted the odd 35 around down south, but dont know who's who.

Ahhh so it was today?? In that case it would ave been the Mrs heading home from the lab.

Yeah i had no idea bout the accident, but i just rang her and asked her... sounds pretty full on. She said ot seemed like the truck almost managed to flip the trailer.

Well welcome to sydney, you've been pretty lucky spotting a 35 down south, theres only about 4 or so that i know of who pop up from time to time, and i'm not sure if any of them are members here.

yeah the car used to belong to an importer down this way. He bought it in with bugger all Km's and i picked it up of him about 6 months ago with about 17k km on it. 2006 model too.

Only down side is its auto.

Yeah I know what you mean.

I've had mine for about 7 months now and it has been a fantastic car, but it's an auto!!!

Yeah I think the truck must have taken that tight corner there a bit too quick, it is one of those trucks that have the extra trainer on it, double semi's so it's a big vehicle. The trailer flipped over but the truck did not, luckily.

I've done well then to spot one down here because it is a nice example of a V35, like mine with the Inifiti grille badge :(

gee you guys just won't learn do you?

stop saying auto = 'down side'

it's actually an up-side as it's a breeze to cruise in traffic jam, and it's fun to drive in tiptronic mode...

most exotics euro supercars these days have ditched the conventional manual.

the V36 auto now have paddle shift.

auto is an up side

for cruising through traffic yes its a perk, for fine car control, not so good.

even in triptronic mode the car shifts when it wants to, it just waits for you to tell it when to start thinking about it.

no shift lock, no heel toe or rev on change to effect weight shift.... its not all good news.

that said... its comfy, it has grunt, and people keep trying to figure out what the hell it is cos i've got no badges... so its kinda cool

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
