Just picked up the M35 and first impressions...

Seating height is much better imo which was the main inspiration for the seat swap. I'll get a few pics once the sun comes out.

The aero front bar is also awesome however one of the driving lights needs a new globe :(

Pics please!

Managed to clear my defect today (wheels too wide [cops around here aren't so great]) by painting and fitting these R33 stockies. They look stupid but at least it's cleared.

Also installed new bonnet struts so I can FINALLY work under the bonnet without the risk of skull damage haha.

Never before in the field of human endeavour has so little been achieved in so much time by just one man.

Today I replaced a 3 inch length of 5/16" hose on my turbo watercooling return line.

It took four farken hours go to woah; I feel like a retard.

I noticed a significant drop in the rad recovery bottle a few days ago, and when I went looking; I found coolant all over the passengers side steering rack boot. Turbo is directly above this area; great!

Looked around, no real signs of failed hoses but coolant stains on the hard line, hmmm...

After removing the hose, it looks like the hose is delaminated internally due to the radiant heat of the exh manifold, and forcing coolant up the reinforcing braiding and out the cut ends of the hose.

Then did a cooling system flush and new coolant.

As per protocol; thanks go to Scotty for the cooling system mod, which make bleeding the cooling system a breeze.

Good job Scotty. ;)

ok photo time now that it's finally stopped raining near the beach :P

Everyone has seen an aero front bar before so i only took 1 quick photo.

The others are just random pics of the GTR seats.

The car is pretty messy atm but due to the weather i haven't had the chance to give it a decent clean...

Dude they look so good. What's the comfort level like?

If I had the black interior I would definitely be putting this high on the mod list.

It's taken a bit to get use to comfort wise and i am finding myself fiddling a bit with the seat position but i'll get it right. The biggest improvement is the height... so much better as now the rear view mirror doesnt obstruct you view at all through the front window.

I didn't but i did take notice when i was carrying them and to be honest i would say the weight was very similar.

The drivers M35 seat may have been ever so slightly heavier but that may have been due to the air bag solenoid + locking set up... I could barely tell the difference.

Sweet, thanks. I spotted a pair of R35 seats on TradeMe here in NZ but if they're a similar weight i think I'll pass on them.

(Again, yes, I know, strange).

Noice! Excuse my ignorance but what are the two switches in front of the cup holder. My RX only has the one switch on the console for the attesa.
