brembo brakes apparently were an option in the sports range so fourth... couldve/ve been added in mine but previous jap owner was too cheap to option it in. so basically no brembo and no sunroof =( also ill have to get everything converted to english and aus spec...dvd/nav/mp3/dvd screen/buttons etc will be looking at $3k range. my eyes are now on the 350z forum for brembos =) but then again the ones on it atm works really good compared to my pevious r33 with dba 4000series and track pads.

i agree that blue/balck are the best colours for v35s. nope just for 1-2days...car has been sitting at dealer for almost a year so must be some others... car is less than 20k kms so still new and clean. has been lowered will post up some pics tonight.

cheers.

personally 7 GTA defeats the purpose of evo which is track weapon

v35 offers no where near the performance but is such an amazingly well built and appointed car its just a pleasure to drive every time I get in one

dont get hung up on the brembos , they are quite small , smaller than gtr brembos . while a big improvement on the non brembo v35 brakes I still find them a bit too small for serious work . good option if your v35 has them , dont fret too much if it doesnt .

long story short . v35 .

i get what you mean. i get the same feeling everytime now. like i said its more of luxury/sports machine then track race bred and yes the stock brakes are really good they stop almost instantly...glued.

anyway here are a few pics i managed to get today...car has not been washed etc. willl get her cleaned and service shortly. has been lowered with sick rims. anyway when i get good shots ill post in photo area. thanks for everyones input and if you have the money purchase one its worth every penny...enjoy

So what didn't you like about the evo 7?

I was thinking of getting a evo 6 or 6.5 for my wife. I thought they were an all round good car?

rob

ok an update...although i made the mistake of the evo 7....just not my liking ive finally got my baby. shes a lot of fun i must admit and pure luxury sports the sound of the vq35de is fabulous.

a lil glimpse as i had no time for perfect shot will update in the photo section.

now just waiting for my sau sticker to arrive =)

richard.

gday mate, honestly theres nothing worng with evos...basically i was over the excessive exhaust noise...bov...turbo etc...wanted a more luxury comfort ride but at the same time fast. you might not understand until you sit in one (v35) interior, exterior over i would say over rates the evos but its a big NO to performance. the evo 7gta goes around corners like there are rails on it.

its more pimpin :cheers: . at night the led tail lights looks outstanding and with the twin exhuast it finishes the whole car up making it look a little mighty grunt. cant wait for the carbon fibre kit!

its the magority ruining it for the minority, retards with big dardy heavy v8 comdomadors which r not made for ripping through corners and high speeds r the main reason y the ff**ked up law might come in. besides ill just take me P's down :P. try stop me THEN!!!

hey man i bought c-reds v35 and its awsome cheap buy for me with all those mods and with a supercharger it goes too :P very feul efficent looks great has good handeling and very roomy in the back seats hope hat helps with your choice mate

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
