Hey guys,

i've never really blown my own trumpet on here before, even earlier this year when i was in my first car feature April Hot 4's. But today there's a spread in the technology section of the Herald Sun and its bloody annoying waking up to txt messages, but when you're woken up by mates telling you your famous and it looks great i can't complain :-)

And good news too, the skyilne was the first featured car that takes up half the first page. No mention of hooning etc so maybe this will help enthusiasts look better than hoons and a step in a positive direction for a change etc... ...but probably not

two thirds of the way down this page shows you the set up: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Au....html&st=40

i'm really happy with it, and was surprised they found me for an interview but am stoked! wanted to post pics of my car a while back at the first autosalon november 07 but didn't get around to it, and still to this date have not had other people comment too harshly which is good, but any feedback i'd love to hear it :D ...maybe

remember seeing this down at freddy's getting all the interior done.. I remember he was so stressed about making sure it was ready for autosalon..I said to him then when it looked a bit of a mess this car will look mean..and at autosalon it definately did that!!! I love the work put into it and the designs...great stuff..and congrats on the spread in the Herald!

I read through the article and looked online...

awsum setup mate...there was only one part that was disapointing...

"I'm renovating a house so the Nissan's going in the garage and I wont be touching it."

Although Im too young to know how hard it must be to fix up a house... just saying :thumbsup:

Adam :thumbsup:

    • 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 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
