I'll take my line there... if someone will take the drive with me. (in a few weeks when it is running of course)

and if they dunno what bits are on it right off the bat.

I'll walk out of there laughing.

I think everyones being a bit harsh, they're probably new and dont have much money etc for advertising/ good workshop.

Ive seen pics of heaps of workshops in japan and they all look like little sheds and they still pump out good quality cars. Eg reckless in one of the latest eds of HPI.

But then again they could post on here for free and they havent, and you think if they specialised in skylines they would know about australia's leading skyline website.

Yes definately a bit harsh - I would hate to be starting a new business specialising in Skylines if thats the response you get...

***think positive thoughts***

If they are dodgy then they probably wont last [not with educated people at least] but I think they deserve a chance nonetheless.

I think its great somebody is trying to look after our kind - I don't think there is enough around personally, not in my area and not like the industry in the rest of OZ...

EDIT*

I am sick of people either thinking I have an R33 [gtst] or that the parts are the same or calling my car an R34GTS-T - i mean really, is it that hard to know???

[This has happened with just about any workshop you care to name].

I will go to down this place and get me a

NISMO sticker :(

j/k

there is a difference between bagging a shop and saying ur going to go down and check out their knowledge on what they profess as being specialists in.

WTF?

How was i bagging. I agree with narkie on this.

I going to see if they know i have a GT30 is far from bagging.

if they do know, then good luck to them. Cant see how it was bagging at all

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay

      Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha

      "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD

      I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
