still got just over a month and a half Allan, hope all goes well!

Cheers So do I.

i hope i can make it but put it this way motor needs to be installed ecu + wiring then

have to run-in the gearbox , diff , clutch , motor, im thinking positive about making it there.

i reckon i can clock 5000k's in less than a month if i had too :P but if the car is ready and i am still in the run in stage/tune ill only be using half of its power

i haven't had my car for 10 months now so getting a bit inpatient good opportunity to see if any gremlins/bugg's seem to appear when i log all the info when driving.

if any one hasnt used ebc red stuff you should very good pads had been testing em great pads with the best brake fluid motul dot6 slotted/vented rotors braided lines front and rear

last year sometime going down main south road to second valley a roo jumped in front of me maybe about 10 to 12 mtrs away i was able to slam the brake pedal and stop in

time ive never pulled up so hard in my life scary moment but the point is they never faided even afta passing second valley that real winding bit makes ur brakes so hot give em a go

sorry about the story i am bored.

Your looking at quality here people good stuff chad i would prefer braided lines tho depends where you run the lines i guess.

Think i paid about $600 for my kit, no thermo though. Give Todd a call at Outlaws in the city he knows his shit about imports.

Changing oil filters is now a walk in the park :P

Thanks man :P I was after a quality cooler that would flow well. 26's with 300+kw at the track have a pretty bad rep with oil problems so I thought that I should spend the money on a good cooler. I just wrap extra rubber around any part of the hose that makes contact with metal to prevent the hose wearing through.

Boostworx installed my oil cooler for me (custom job), I provided a 2nd hand R34 drivers side GT-T kit I got pretty cheap (all earl's fittings and hose, 19row earls core and earl's filter relocator), a inline B&M thermostat and some extra speedflow fittings + hose for the thermostat. Shaun ordered some extra -10 braided hose and speedflow fittings (much cheaper than I could get them from Outlaw Speedshop) to facilitate running it from the passenger side (can't run on the drivers side because of the stock twin bov's).

If I had to do this again, I would choose the core I wanted, and relocator (with or without thermo instead is a better choice than using a inline thermostat because of the need for expensive speedflow bits to suit the inline jobbie), and just leave it up to Shaun to work out which fittings and how much hose he needs to mount it wherever, should work out alot cheaper and of higher quality than a jap kit (some of the higher tier kits just use Earl's bits anyway).

since i spent most of the August 25 trackday standing in the rain watching many of the guys drive around the track, i'd like to go out this time as a bit of a warmup before the Nov 23 trackday (Luke and i will launch that thread soon) with my V35 (or other car).

so please add me to the list if there's a spot available. i can pay now if needed.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
