380RS fender flares installed

Looking good Am, like its crouching. Any trouble fitting/blended them in?

Always loved JDM James' G35 (if I'm honest, the hood was not to my taste), now that thing had some flares on it...

They fit pretty nice. The front bumper side marker light gets in the way. Other than that, not bad at all.
JDMJames had a nice ride. Someone else owns it now. I always have to try something different. I wasn't willing to cut up my stock fenders (especially the rear) for $200 riveted on fender flares that can't be undone.

Chris your car is beyond awesome.

Question-

Why haven't you upgraded to projector headlights?

Dont thinknit will fit in with the style hes going for. 380RS fender flares....thats an awesome idea!

Thanks! I do really enjoy how the reflector lights blend in with the paint. The projectors just seem to be so "bright" with their chrome finish.

I am running a cup kit that is custom fitted to my coilovers.

Thanks again :) Always enjoy seeing VQ's from across the world and sharing mine with you guys!

For anyone that hasn't seen my thread on the V35 front page (I know I almost never check it) - anyone after a Urethane Nismo copy front bumper? I remember a while back when I discussed bringing some in a few people wanted them.

Hey mate nice 300 but if you plan to go lower than that i would remover the mudspats behind the front wheels as they will hit on bumpa and coming out of driveways and what not and breaking other parts. What are the wheel and tire specs?

Almost there ... !!! :X :X :X

Woah!! Dat ride height!!!!! Persobally i would have put coilovers in first before wheels and all that cosmetic stuff that does nothing for performance. Enjoy running spacers on those wheels when coilovers go in!

Lol yeah, it's chillin out up there so it doesn't get stepped on!

Got the other side halfway done. It's at a different angle than the drivers side. Just still trying to get a feel for how I want to place them. Still have a lot of cutting to do on them.

New wheels are behind schedule... still about 3 weeks away from being done :verymad: Were supposed to be done by now!

The Gram Lights are being passed around. No owner has kept them longer than a month. They're getting beat up, I'm sure... sad story...

Going with a real classic wheel next, but haven't seen any V35's or Z33's when them yet! So it'll be interesting! I'll post up pics as soon as they are done getting made!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
