Craig, the black cow looks hilariously (awesome) on the track!

I "Forever Black'ed" the plastic trim on the ARX. Looks heaps better than previously. The trim was previously grey from too much sun baking. Went over everything 2-3 times so it's all pretty black. Took forever, but would recommend.

Also, "Forever Black" is better/darker than Meguair's trim polish stuff, IMO.

Change at 4.5rpm to 5rpm and I have a perfect limiter bounce with a small flame/POP

Noice!! Will have to try that out :D It's good to get some other feedback from other ppl that have 'em installed.

So is this stuff a true plastic stain then?

Where abouts did you purchase 'forever black'?

I've used that black polish stuff and it leaves streaks if you don't layer it on perfectly. Looked great for a month but it eventually faded anyway. Spoke to some guys at super cheap and bullseye and they also said it will fade and isn't that great

 

Supercheap etc all sell it from memory

Thanks man; will keep an eye out next time i'm there.

My only issue is I'm a tall bastard......going to get some Brides copies or something......getting rid of my black Heated leather seats.

I'll report back in a month to see how it goes.

Yeh, know the feeling.. The paddles do tend to sit a bit low even at their highest setting. I'm slowly getting used to them!! Don't think I could ever part with my Heated leather seats though :woot:

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
