Hey Guys. Just a quick Hi.

New to the Importing Scene so im sorry but il be hoping to get a lot of help from all of you:-)

Just Got a 2003 V35GT 6 speed manual.

Picked it up through Ben at J-spec. Thanks mate.

Currently awaiting shipping which is on the 13th/12/08 departure Japan.

I live in Perth and the car is going to Brissy for compliance and then will be trucked over here to Perth. Just had some issues with the paper work for shipping so had a bit of a delay. Plus that why it is going to Brissy.

I was intrested to try and get the car's Tv sorted out i kow there has been a lot of discussion about what can and cant be done so ill first have a read before i ask anymore questions. But i know everyone hounds one user here for his services with the Audio so i guess ill have to join in:-P lol.

Anyway i think i uploaded the pics correctly. Would like any help from anyone regarding Suspension.

As i am currently looking into some 20' rims and as well some Coilovers.

Thanks all. Let me know what you gusy think. Ill post more pics up shortly.

Cheers Deano

Congrats buddy, looks great.

And yes, have a read through the V35 section as pretty all your questions should be answered somewhere in there.

Chris Rogers is definitely the man when it comes to the audio and Nav. He's based in Brisbane so may be worth while to get him to work on the car while its in compliance and save yourself some time.

You've probably already found it but in case you haven't check in my sig for the V35 section.

Cheers

Bobby

Thanks Guys... The cost for trucking to Perth is not finalised as yet so ill let you know as soon as i have a amount. But if you have some info for me would be of great help:-)

Also there is loads of stuff for the V35 on this forum which is of great help so ill just keep reading thanks. Yeah thats his name Chris Rogers ill definately chase him up while the car is in Brissy to get him to help me out. Cheers

Thanks once again

These days it is $1,200 to $1,400 out of QLD for a good freight company but others do ship it with Kiwi at a total of $1,000 going on the last couple of cars but both have risk of damage.

Make sure the car is 100% plus when it is taken over the pats as due to a lot of ex East cars failing badly they are now as you would say "on a watch list".

Save yourself some cash.

Fly over to Bris, makes ure all is ok after complaince and ready to go. Jump in and drive straight down the side of Aus to Melb, then truck it to Perth. Much cheaper and you save about 5 days. Plus one hell of a way to get to know your new car.

Grab mate Day 1 Bris to Coffs Harbour. Take a nap, then Day 2 Coffs to Syd or even Canberra (P@rn is legal here). Then head down to Melb!!

transport from Bris to Perth is much less frequent than Melb to Perth

HAHAH i like all your ways of thinking:-) I would love to drive from Bir to Melb and get to know her a bit more:-) but just not feasible with my work can barely get holidays. I really hope everything goes ok with my car hey i couldnt bare to see any scratches on her:-(

But the plans for her as soon as she arrives is to put my 20" rims on before i go drivin:-) then drive her straing to the suspension shop to have the coilovers on then as low as she can go:-D....

Im hoping i can get Chris to have a play with her when she is over there in Brissy:-)

de-no,

if the car has been done by jspec then shogun will probably be the ones that do the car. if you can get the car to go to ISASO or Adrenaline motors then the whole process will be transparent as I'll pick it off as it goes through the system. if shogun do the car MAKE SURE they understand you want the car modded for AV and navi. this will happen AFTER compliance. if you want an alarm on it tell me.

do you have the chassis # of it (IE CPV35-000000) so I can add it to my list. ( I track cars by this as I often get 3-4 silver cars in a row and I get lost..)

my contact details are below.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
