Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to the forums, been browsing for a while, and in the process of purchasing an '04 300GT. Just tonight, I noticed that some of the V35 sedans around have some type of mudguard thingys attached behind front and rear wheels, but the one I'm buying doesn't. I'm thinking that they might come in handy as I'll be doing some driving on dirt roads from time to time (the folks place) and would provide some extra protection from stones/grit throwing up on the skirts. Anyone know if they're available anywhere?

Cheers,

Richard

ps. not getting the 19" rims shown in the pics for the same reason above, even though they look pretty nice, add to that I can't afford them right now either!

my experience..... the mudguard is so hard to clean~ :P , unless u've got a trained right/left arm to handbuff it, otherwise its hard with machine buff due to the edge/angle

I don't really care how hard it is to clean - if I have to hand buff it, then that's what I'll do!

I've spotted some Infiniti G35 splash guards as they call them available from the US - would they be the same as for the V35?

exactly the same. go and order some.

I replaced mine with US G35 coupe splash guard when I accidentally scrape it.

when the replacement came it had USG35 written at the back of it, and guess what when I took off my oem one? same part number.

I have noticed that there is a difference in shape between the Infiniti 03-04 splash guards and the 05-06 splash guards, besides the 03-04 being two tone and the 05-06 being completely body colour. I want the completely body colour guards, so just wondering if anyone knows if there's any actual difference in the rear quarter panels of the 03-04 Infiniti and the 05-06?

No Difference at all, Nissan dropped the 2-tone look in 2005. If you pick up a set of earlier ones all you need to do is paint them

I emailed Riverside Infiniti and the guy there reckoned there was a slight difference in the sheet metal between the 03-04 G35 and the 05-06, reckoned the later ones wouldn't fit. Have to say though that the later ones look a lot nicer in shape, aside from the paint issue.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
