Hi all,

Have been into skylines and imports forever, saved some money for a house, shopped around and realized houses are freaking expensive and don't go very fast at all. Some of them also smell like old people. So have just purchased a skyline, 1996 R33 GTST M. It is shiny.

The car is on a transport coming in from interstate, should be here in a few days. Would have driven it back after i test drove it but I have no license (again) and would have surely been pulled over. Drove to Melbourne 2 weeks ago and sat on 170 most of the way. Good times.

Really wanted a 34 but found a clean example with under 90,000 K's (dont tell me that's fake because i'll just put my fingers in my ears) and factory sunroof, loads of HKS gear.

Current Mods (not my fault they're in caps, i copied and pasted):

HKS FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER

3" EXHAUST SYSTEM

3" DUMP PIPE

NISMO LOW MOUNT MANAFOLD

AIR INTAKE

HKS BLOW OFF

TURBOSMART DUAL STAGE BOOST CONTROLLER

EXEDY HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH

FRONT STRUT BRACE

HKS ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

BOOST GAUGE

BOOST JET SWITCH

TURBO TIMER

PIONEER HEAD UNIT MP3 PLAYER

THIS CAR WAS DYNO TUNED RUNNING AT 12 POUND BOOST REACHED 183KW ATW

Like all cars I've had I always buy with the intention to spend no more on them, which changes soon after. This time I am preparing early by picking out mods before I even have the car, it's more efficient that way :P

Nice place you got here SAU :P

Here's a real quick basic Q, how much boost can I run with my current setup without anything exploding? keep in mind my fuel system in stock.

That group buy for power FC's looks exciting...............

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay

      Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha

      "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD

      I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
