Like the description says. I'm wondering if any of you guys get rolled up on just cuz of the v35? On the island we have good stretches of straight road.. and for watever reason I constantly get challenged. cuz of the skyline on the back of my trunk.

Does this happen to you guys???

In almost two years of ownership, just once from a supra.

I think due to the design/specification, the V doesn't get much attention from boy racers and what little attention they give is lost when you answer it's n/a. No attention from police either!

I get it, all the time.

Then again, i have my windows down, music blarring, and hoodie on. :)

So perhaps its HOW you drive that promotes it ;-P

For example, windows up, and going the speed limit, probably isn't going to get you much attention.

lol... poor tiburon. I get what ya'll are saying about the way people drive. But quiet honestly mostly i'm a cruiser. Hell i'm driving a 250gt.

Not gonna lie though I have opened up all 4 speeds of this big lawnmower on a couple of altezzas and such before.

I'm just wondering if i;m suffering from carcism.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
