ohh all available from the yahoo auctions in japan, just used Import Monster.

i still need a front strut brace to finish it off.

and i think ill go nolathane bushing everywhere

You may want to look at a V35 one then as the M35 strut brace will not fit with the 19mm runner spacer in there mate.

I dunno if the V35 braces will actually fit, but I suppose you have more chance as the top of the engine sits higher in a V than ours do.

problem is is that even if you have a strutt brace to fit above the plenum with the runner space how do you get it to fit between the bonnet and the plenum!

Oh that's right....you need another type of bonnetninja.gif

lol... subtle like a jackhammer as always mate.

or get a PM35 bonnet modified (it has at least another 20mm clearance over the NM35 bonnet)

is there a way of customer fabricating one? ie Whiteline??

I spoke to Whiteline about this, and Wayne basically said because it's a labour intensive component to produce, it would need to sell in fairly large numbers to be worthwhile. So, at this stage, most likely not.

I want to find out whether they do one for the 350z, if they do I want to source the strut tower mounts and do some clearance testing to see if we can manufacture a bar to fit our bay, using their mounts.

Might save some time, and they might be interested.

hey daleo did u but the bcs with the off the shelf spring rate as i was thinking you can ask suppliers to give you diiferent spring rates.

So if i have the cash i would buy tein super flex wagon but ask them for a different spring rate to soften them up , but if the bc were off the shelf standard spring rate ill just go for those and use the rest of the money for

my sway bars , links , mount brackets

Yeah sorry, as Iain said I'm running with the damping 3 clicks in from full soft, there's 30 clicks of adjustment and you can feel a difference with just one click.

I reckon the rates are spot on for a regularly driven car, your roads are much the same as ours anyway, and if you need a bit more, you can always wind in a bit more damping.

The swaybars & links just make a nice package even sweeter.:thumbsup:

Bonnets differ ?????

yes....they are different in a couple of different way's.

But in a dark alley near one of the corner's of middle earth and bellow the surface the is a man of which only two people have ever seen.....this man holds the secret to cooler under bonnet temp's and room for a strutt brace with a plenum spacer!blush.gif

onto other new's....Dale is Whiteline interested in doing springs? I have some special ones on there way!

OX Motor sports have strut/tower bar for a VQ25DET but it appears you need to move some items by the looks of the pics

Bonnets differ ?????

Considerably.

The Series 2 M35's (PM35/PNM35) need a bonnet with more clearance because of the VQ35de they use whereas the VQ25/VQ30 used in the series 1 M35's (M35/NM35) sit a lot lower.

Also, the PM35 grill is narrower and the headlights larger so the "tabs" on the front of the bonnet are in a different spot (I found this out the hard way)

Has he created a mould yet? Started testing?

OX strut brace won't fit if you have a runner spacer... nor will any of the other VQ25det designed strut braces for that matter

I'll be talking to Wayne later this week, and I'm going to hit him up about springs, etc. So I'll let you know. What's so special about your springs, eh?

I spotted some Dolphin springs on YAJ at one point, perhaps he snagged them; dunno if they're specifically 'special' mind you :)

so do the PM35 bonnets have a more aggresive higher look to them

are they not able to sit onto the NM35 as the MN35 is the only turbo late model stag

and whats this is someone making some aftermarket bonnets ??

if so very keen

Edited by Sidius

PM35 will bolt straight onto an NM35 (I have done it), but you will either need to cut and re-weld the abs at the front as they are closer together than the NM35 ones, or buy PM35 headlights, grill and front bar (as I did).

Yes, the PM35 bonnet is higher in between the creases. I think it looks much better from the driver seat (find myself looking at the "step" on the crease quite often for some reason).

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
