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.

hey guys.. finally upgraded from the 34.. although i miss all the power !.. mines a dec 05 premiem spec.. already removed are the factory alarm sensors on dash , toll card reader , and a few silly things...

Mods done - X force cat back 2 1/3" mendral bent exhaust same as 350z except it needs 25cm added to extend it

full nismo kit from japland

20 x10 with 275 rear and 20x 8.5 235 front koya visso, viper pager alarm

Next to come once chris rodgers has converted my bose dash unit a full 7k stereo and some springs to level the car out..

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...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
