Installed Dolphin triple gauge pod, the Defi's stand out slighly less now also thinking i'll install a bypass switch so i can turn the gauges off at night/ RBTs and such

Moved the AVC-R to the top of the steering column, Cant quite see 0-20Km and then 140+ on the speedo and bellow 2k on the tacho. Can't really imagine this being a problem and i can have the AVC-R display speed if i'm at the track/strip.

Instaled and M35 steering wheel a bit of messing around to get it to fit but it looks great. Anyone else done this swap? I haven't plugged the airbag in yet as it has been suggested to me that the C34 computer might not like the newer airbag and things could end badly...

Wraped a pair of Dolphin eyelids in carbon and stuck them on, they look ok but i think i'll give them a couple of coats of clear to get the genuine carbon look.

Installed new 55W/4300K HIDs, much brighter than the ones than the car had in it from Japan.

I should be getting the bodywork/kit fixed up in the next couple of weeks.

Oil change done with Royal Purple, Ryco filter, old stuff was pretty black, have decided i will now be doing them on 7,500kms rather than the 10,000kms the workshop suggested when i had all fluids changed when i bought it. Also attached the new AFM plug which has made a difference to the way it idles (in a good way). So pretty happy atm. Only have to get passenger side cv boots done as they are split and car will be perfect. maybe next payday i think.

Don't leave it too long, otherwise you'll chew out a CV and that ends up a fair bit move expensive.

Just changed the oil and filter. Ended up with a genuine Nissan filter (probably a waste of money) and Motul 8100 Excess 5w40. Going to find something better for next oil change but it needed to be done. Pulled the turbo banjo bolt too and checked to make sure that it wasn't clogged, it was very clean so I'm guessing either the previous owner checked it or I am lucky enough to have a very well looked after car. Either way I'm happy.

same here put in some royal purple and an oil filter change, pulled out the bango bolt and it was spotless but i drilled it out anyways

smelt that sweet coolant smell opened the bonnet and what do you know cracked radator top tank just what i needed one week from my wedding found a new better 3 core radator and new hoses and high flow thermostat and fitted it all now alls good and only cost $450.00 back on the road again

Fitted 350z D2 coilovers into the M35... Been laying frame all night. Tomorrow removing inner guards, rolling outer guards and changing tires from 245/45/18 to 215/35/18....

FFS! How bloody hard is it to do a job properly...:rolleyes:

That's just pathetic; I hope you went back and gave it to them?

yeah i know i had the drivers side done the other week which is when they noticed that other side is split too, drivers side was the worst, ill be very lucky if i don't have to replace that as the inner boot was almost non existant, fingers crossed though.

I think it's probably worth your while; that's a bloody expensive mistake if the car owner isn't 100% switched on.

Obviously don't go in and go bananas, but definitely see if you can speak to the owner, and have a rational discussion about the incident.

Mistakes happen, but if no one makes it known; they can't alter their work procedure. A simple tick sheet can avoid these kinds of issues.

Quick phone photo.. Proper cam photos later.

50mm clearance on chassis.. Can't even get a credit card between the guard lip and rear tire....

fark thats low, looks awesome! hows it drive ?

it looks awesome!!!

but i bet it handles like ass. no offence, but youve put your whole suspension geometry out of whack. i bet the LCAs are angled up all round.

TBH, handling isn't what i'm worried about... Considering I have a proper track car to take care of my speed needs. This really only sees city driving 50km/h, with the occasional beach cruise.

And from a quick look, nothings too badly angled. It handles better than it did before, i'll say that much... lol

Top stuff! :blink:

If I did that; I wouldn't even be able to get out of my garage...

I guess that would save on tyre wear.:thumbsup:

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
