Hi Guys,

Thank you for the kind words Matt, glad to see another happy client.

Our website is getting upgraded at the moment but here is a link to see some our installs and retrims.

Kind Regards

Hakki :down:

P.S ...... on a personal note. These V35's are one sexy car. Matt your car looks awesome. We did a custom stealth install in a black GTR R34 recently and i thought that car was hot, but the V35 has to be definitely on my shortlist for sex appeal.

Hi everyone back from QLD and wow what a drive.

I got to meet the famous Chris Rogers in person and he is great to deal with.

I got the iPOD control installed exactly the same and it does indeed work a treat.

But the best thing i did was get Chris to install 1 box / 8 sheets of Dynamatt all over the car. As with all my previous cars i find this makes the biggest and best sound quality difference.

Im not even going to worry about forking out $$$$ for better speakers and things now because there are no longer any vibrations in the car with any sort of bass level. I am very happy with the audio right now. Maybe later down the line i may go to some focal or rainbow speaker setup and get my amps and subs installed but not right now. Its not needed!!!

Thanks again chris! PS - post the photos on here if you'd like.

PPS - please send me the photos! :pirate:

Hakki did my system front to back late last year.

I was very happy. I provided the ipod integration gadget, which came with a little

wireless remote you velcro onto the handbrake so you can pause or go from track

to track without picking up the ipod.

He did a custom buried floor sub enclosure removable, trimmed it in the same boot carpet

and he did a custom amp install that looks factory. He also did awesome

kick panel mounted floor tweeters, covered also to look factory.

my only (not real) gripe is he is too busy - because I want to go back for some more HKS

controller integration into the second din pocket, and have to wait weeks to get a slot!

I'm intregued by this Dynamatt stuff, I had not heard of it before, how does it work. I have spent hours chasing a vibration sound in the middle of my rear parcel shelf, drilled screws in and everthing, could never quite get rid of it, so I figured it was easier just to live with it, since it only did it on one particular song.

it makes the panel heavier and thus harder to 'move' thats the laymens version.

in the case of one sydney car (BLSTIC) its on the whole car. the difference is quite noticable.

You can get them off US ebay, some places will ship to Australia. Should be able to land one for just under $200 with the exchange rate just above 80c to the US dollar.

I just bought one off this mob: http://myworld.ebay.com.au/audiosavings/

I want to use it with my iphone so having included the new style 5V charger cable was important to me. $118US worked out to $151AU delivered in the US. Since I was getting it sent over I also picked up a Homelink mirror from a guy wrecking his G35 for $50US.

So when they get to my cousin in New York he will send them both over, should be small enough to get both in a 'Small Package' box with USPS so only $13US. Don't know why ebay sellers always want to charge so much for international delivery!

do you know if the PA11 will work with Iphone on 3.0?

most of the site i look up mentioned its not compatiable with 3.0 and shuffle......

Can't really think of a reason that firmware 3.0 would cause an issue. The charge voltage hasn't changed and dock adapters still work. The bluetooth stack has been improved but that will not affect this i would think.

Mine cleared customs on Monday so should be arriving late this week or next. I won't have time to install until next weekend so will update then as to if it causes any issues.

I'm also waiting on delivery of a iphone 3g specific dock so I can try to make up something to go where the ashtray is, rather than paying the obscene price they want for one of these...

Very neat though!

whooa, that looks so nice!

when u done ur post some pic plz~~coz i am thinking of the same idea with DIY dock in the ash tray

also another question...we all know that PA11-NIS works with the Vs...

I found other type on ebay, the "PXAMG"

PXAMG - ebay

its got the feature for the HDRT - HD radio....not sure if that works on the JDM Vs, or the Oz radio.

So it arrived Wed night after that post and naturally I was out there tearing down the dash 10 minutes later. All in all an extremely easy install, didn't even get to use my soldering skills, all plug and play! Though I had dismantled the dash before to install my FM expander so that part was very familiar.

Currently I have the whole ashtray & cig lighter assembly out whilst I work out a way to neatly integrate the dock in there, so there is a gaping hole with the cable coming out. How does it work with the iphone 3g running 3.0 firmware? Excellent, no complaints. Steering wheel controls work, sounds is crystal clear, I even listen to my podcasts of various Triple J segments instead of the radio cause the quality is better.

On that other connector, my opinion would be don't risk it. The PA11-NIS works perfectly, and this other one doesn't appear to have any additional benefits (song text doesnt work with the pre 06 V's with any connector)... so go with what you know.

So, now time to work out the best way to integrate the dock, suggestions welcome. I will take some happy snaps of install to date and post next week.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
