my wife is 'grounded' at home anyway with the baby till at least another 2 weeks... (the asian 1 full moon confinement thing)

by the way I didn't call or make any reservation at garage cafe as I assume this is just a greet & meet at 2:30pm?

Yeah, greet and meet...and to freeze our "balls" off....

Maybe the next meet, we can book at Garage Cafe...

There's many who have read this thread, but seems reluctant to come...This is a NOTE TO ALL, the more that come and meet, the more of a 'Force' we become and the more events can be arranged in future...

Rianto - you wife is Asian? Yes, I know the 1st month thingy ('cos I'm Asian too), the baby is supposed to be 1 yr old after the 1st month...

yeah, that's why I am 1 year older in my chinese / lunar year compared to my gregorian year...

although I can't still quite grasp 100% the concept since babies are average about 9 1/2 month in the belly plus 1 month since born that's not even 11 month, but considered 1 year old according to lunar calendar... oh well but that's the way it is for over thousands of year since they come up with lunar calendar system... maybe it's like golf handicap thing, they get free 3 month handicap before even conceived :D LOL

Thanks to all for coming...we had 7 members today!!! Not sure if you guys noticed, but there were a few drive-by on-lookers checking out the rims and cars...

V35 Coupes:

rs73 (Rianto)

MILLOS (Pablo)

BenzLe (Benny)

scorp (Sam)

pw350gt (Yun)

V35 Sedans:

Pics are available in Hi-res upon request. Please also PM me your contact numbers and email addresses, so I can add you on MSN.

I was happy with the turnout, considering there wasn't many interest!!! Hopefully, the next V35 VIC Meet will be greater by number and at a place where we weren't freezing our balls off....

There was a general consensus to have a baking day...NO! Not the cooking/baking, but baking headlights to remove the orange blinkers...Once I perfect it on my sedan (when I get some more $$$ to order my new headlights), I'll get something arranged...

Stuff discussed included:

Do's and don'ts

What was worth modifying (grounding kit, CAI, bulbs, HID)

Bose Stereos & Compliancing

Ricer stuff....

Personally, I liked MILLOS's deep dish rims and pw350gt's CF paddle shifts....Very ricer!!!

Nelson.

More pics from my camera....

2nd pic was experimental with one of the camera features - colour accent... so only red is shown...

it was freaking cold out there, quite windy but good turn out... i'm sure there's lots more V35 owners to join in the future....

Unique things to highlight from our meet:

Only 1 car has original orange indicator (mine)

Only 1 car has rear windscreen wiper/rear camera (siu loong bao's)

Only 1 coupe has original 18" rim

Only 1 car has rear aero spoiler

Only 1 car has sunroof (V35Sky's)

Only 1 car has factory weather shield on the window (V35 300GT)

Only 1 pair of badgless bootlid (yeah, I'm running out of idea)

Added: Probably the best of them all... 1 40th Anniversary coupe with cream interior/full leather was "downgraded" to regular premium with half suede leather/black interior. Sorry to the owner but I just can't help it... :rofl:

good to hear a good turn up at the vic v35 meet, wished i was there! maybe next time... just taken my car to the final inspection, will post some photos when i get it back monday!

congrats for showing our pride n joy.

Hey guys,

I had a great time meeting you all this afternoon, I think we had a magnificent turn out considering we only had 5 confirmed and 3 maybes.

The cars all looked great, it was good to meet you all.

I will attach some pictures of each of the cars that turned out, front and back of each of the seven cars, and one other!!!

Also discussed at the meet was the idea of doing a cruise next time, now that we have gotten the first meet and greet out of the way, we could probably be more comfortable with a cruise!!!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
