Hi Guys,

I have just recently bought a new V35 2003 Coupe around a few weeks ago. I have been having some trouble trying to find parts locally for this car. I understand that I should check the G35driver forum and to try liaise with stores on there. I have also searched quite a bit on the US ebay but everytime I seem to find something I like, I get quoted something ridiculous for international shipping. I am in search for a couple of things in which I intend to upgrade in the next couple of weeks. Can you guys please shed some light on where I can find some parts and accessories for my V. Where do you guys buy your parts from?

I am looking at purchasing the below in the next couple of days.

* the double din kit - I have found a few on ebay which are quite expensive for shipping. Can you guys give me a rough estimate on how much you guys have bought yours for?

* cold air intake - looking for an apexi kit, which I can't seem to find.

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no easy or cheap solution to your needs. Most of us purchase our parts either from the US or Japan depending on which is cheaper at the time. Yes shipping can be a bitch but at the end of the day its worth it if you get the exact bolt on part for your car and you know its been tried and tested. Try watching out for Group Buys or people selling parts on this forum.

I believe Chris Rogers on this forum can supply you with the double din kits. He will be able to perform the whole conversion for you too if you are located in QLD.

Thanks mate!

Yeah I did see a previous post about the kit. I will get in contact with Chris once I reach my post count to be able to PM. haahaha. Can anyone provide me with any good websites/suppliers. Also can anyone assist me with locating a CAI. I will definitely look into the group buy section. Thanks mate.

      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 🍻
