Hello everyone :(

i've been a member on here for a few months, but havent had the chance to create a intro thread or have a look around the site too much.

i used to own a N13 pulsar ( and was apart of PGA), it was my first car and it was quite fun customizing it to my own liking, but in 2008 i travelled to Japan, and then everything changed :P , i made alot of friends in the short time i was there and in 2009 when i went over there again had a offer to buy a GTiR Pulsar from a very good friend in Nakano, Tokyo and import it back here to australia. but after noticing that the car had some signs of accident repair, i tearfully passed and felt it was time to upgrade my car a bit.

Originally i was in the market for a R34 GT-T, but after seeing some of the prices for grade 5/ interior A cars, it was quite a shock to see how much they went for to say the least, and my own personal prefrences made it almost impossible to find one for the money that i had.

Then my importer suggested importing a V35 model, since he had imported one for himself he knew more about the cars than the R34 models. 3 months were spent waiting and passing on good cars, but had the essence of cigarette smoke through the A/C system ( something i wasnt chasing by any means). out of the blue i got a call about a V35 that had everything i wanted, was in my price range, but it was tip-tronic.. i must admit i hessitated a bit :bunny: .. but decided to give it a go anyway.

2 months later i took final delivery of my new car. love it to bits.

I have no real plans for this car, mabye a DVD changer and GPS to make use of the screen. but other than that i have no plans on changing it too much.

* note: yes i know the plates are fakes, i'm waiting on a set to come over from JP. and i dont like to post my actual numberplate online.

    • 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
