Seeing as rota dogged me i had to get a new set of wheels but i think its worked out for the best.

Work cr kai 18x9.5 +20

Very nice. Love the rims :)

Arx with colour-coded flares is sooo much nicer than the Holden Adventra-esque stock style.

As Alex and Craig have said, Nismo needs to be shiny and proud

Very nice mate. Suprised they don't poke more really. Car must be pretty low, by looking at the rear camber.

Clean up that exhaust mate - its a embarrassment to the rest of us NISMO owners :P

i think you should sell me that exhaust

You seem to know an awful lot about teh gayness today.

Wassup wit dat?

Just noticing a lot more m35 gayness at the moment.

I "still" want my friggen wing so I can loose gayness!

Alloy fan shroud arrived for the radiator.

Should only be a 10 minute job to move them, and other than that it fits ok so I'll see if Andrew at AM can modify them when I pick up the car.

Only 12" thermos?

I'm using 2 x 14" thermos on mine. Interested to hear your thoughts on cooling capacity.

Didn't give it much thought mate. All the per made shrouds I looked at had 12" fans so figured that was the way to go, knowing that if the fans are cheap Chinese shit that fails I can replace them with larger ones later.

I imagine they'll be fine. Aren't the stock PM35 fans 12"?

Feels good to be driving the whale again. I got the box in, fitted the mishimoto radiator and filled up the fluids, damn this coolant mod is great. ;)

I took it for a short squirt around the block, the box felt nice and tight again, I still need to fit the new 30 row trans cooler before any track duty. Kewish want me to bypass the line pressure regulator for full line pressure then they say it should be fine at PI. :)

As we used a spare box for the rebuild and stole all the good parts out of my old one, I found out the hard way there are two different dipsticks for the RE5. I had to shorten it by around 30mm and turn up a plate to slide into the gearbox. There must be a slightly different housing for later M35's...

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
