cheers mate

no doubt i'll give you a wave if I see your ride around as I haven't seen any lakeshore blue v35's either. i don't tend to see many v35 sedan's come to think of it.

i probably won't be lowering it anymore as it's already scraping over speedbumps...i wince in pain every time i drive over any surface that isn't level.

very nice ride you have here, very beautiful, and beautifully kept.

Your project, should you choose.......let's get that rear number plate nice and straight......??? :P

ps...I just came from an R33.....sure I miss the launch/noise of that thing....but not the 'power' as such...V35 has so much more low-down torque that it made my R33 feel a bit 'small'......I can leave my V35 in 3rd gear most of the time! (and I live in the hills)...R33 was always wanting gears...(still loved it though)

Got dish?

Geeesh!...they are horn looking cars.

I like your dish....(got dosh?)...

They're not overboard, which many seem to be going towards,..I like them very muchly.

Our cars look the same, except mine hasn't got that front wheel mud guard thang....(and got std 18" rims, which I love too muchly to swap over).

Hi all: I'm not new to the site: have been floating around in the Stagea section for quite a while now...

I bought a pair of manual V35s close to 7 months ago: one sensible car, and one silly car. They are now, finally, complied!

As I am yet to take pics of the sensible one (haven't had a chance to clean it yet!)here is the silly car: it is the Chargespeed workshop car for Tokyo Auto Salon '07. It won a trophy in the 'sporty car' category for its body kit. The car is factory standard mechanically, with the exception of the 19" wheels and Advance coilovers, so it's a complete show pony as-is. I intend to keep this one (i think), and add the HKS supercharger kit, for a bit m ore poke. Also, the carbon fibre seats are a new lesson in torture (made for narrow japanese rear ends), but I have a pair of Recaros lying around that I was going top put in the Stagea, so I am considering fitting these after a retrim.

Alternatively, I could put the SC kit on the other car, which is immaculate, and only has 10800km on the clock.... I'm torn! The wife says I have to sell at least one of them, but I don't know which way to go.

Anyway, here's some pics of the kitted car finally in Australia and complied:

As soon as I have it on the road, and cleaned, I'll post some of the other (sensible) car as well...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
