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.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
