I bit the bullet today and put down my deposit on an R35. I am hoping to pick it up by the end of the week. I bought it second hand as they are starting to hit a more realistic value. The first mod will be a matte black vinyl wrap (The car is black). Is anyone in contact with the guy in Victoria that has the matte black vynil wrap done already, he was at the Nissan track day at Philip Island?

nice car murdered out will look evil.

black rims and tinted lights.

the only decent wraps I saw were chameleon. but their from the uk. asked the guy for colours and that was the last i heard of him.

need to get this widebody thing on the road as a daily.

Any decent auto signwriter should be able to do a wrap for you - we had one done for a targa car and they did a pretty good job. Matte black would be really easy as they don't need to print anything up.

Wasn't cheap though at around $5k, but they were only given the car for about 36 hours before it was on the boat to tas - I think they said normally it shouldnt be more than $2k.

The mob from Melbourne is call Exotic Kustoms. Check out there website http://www.exotickustoms.com.au/ and you can see an R35 in the matt black wrap. (its the same one that was at philip Island).

Thanks for the link. Yes, they are the guys that did the one at Phillip Island. I gave them a call and they can do it for approx $4000inc GST. So here comes another murdered GTR :ninja:

Holly crap, what a car. I am amazed at the absolute mind warping acceleration of this car. You could drive it around town all day thinking you were in some luxo European car then flick that left switch to Race and flip the trans to manual and unleash the beast. Flicking those paddles with instant gear changes is a staggering experience. This car is worth every penny and in my opinion everything that it is cracked up to be.

I dont find the suspension hard at all it way less stiff in normal mode that my old 350Z and all these gearbox noises and clunking that you hear people talking about, well I must have a quiet one as I couldnt hear all that much. Just a few noises here and there but hell I can live with that in a heart beat.

I love it.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
