Hi everyone, it was great to meet VQ-series owners on cruise no.6.

Thank you to all who attended and those who couldn't attend, we look forward to seeing you in future events.

Photos should be uploaded during this week.

Thank you.

Awesome! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I will definitely be there for the next event.

Hi Mikhail, yes. We had a great time.

We would have like more V-series, but it's all about catching up with fellow owners once-in-a-while. So it's all good.

At this moment, the date for the meet-and-greet is not set yet. Maybe at the end of May if the weather is fine.

Looking forward to seeing you and your V35, Mikhail. Keep us updated.

hey victor, was certainly good catching up and meeting some new V owners. Sorry I couldn't make it for the whole cruise (and for turning up at Powis St car park at 1.45pm..dohhh!! honestly thought it was a 1.30 meet up and a 2pm departure)

seeing all the cars dressed up makes me want a kit even more now.

i may be getting a front bumper next month. if anyone else is interested, just send me a pm.

I can organise this for WA owners only coz really don't have time to arrange for interstate shipping.

Hi Roy, no problem at all. Thank you for at least coming to one stop and catching up with us. It had been a long time (1 year) that I last saw you. :P

Your new wheels looks good! :thumbsup: What front bumper are you getting?

well was contemplating the K2 Remix, until Steve convinced me that it looked ghey, and the Kuruma z hangs too low and I scrape badly in most places as it is. So might end up getting a nismo front & possibly impul sides. Other option is just a front lip to keep it nice and clean.

btw, where did u get ur kit fitted n painted? i want to know how much it cost for painting & fitting a whole bumper vs just a front lip.

Cheers Victor.

ps: looking forward to a meet n greet in May.

Kuruma Z looks nice. There is one silver V35 coupe in Perth with it. I am also sure it is lower than K2.

Just a lip kit will look cleaner and stockish, just depends on your liking.

I believe I got mine fitted for $350 by Robb at Hybrid Customs in Welshpool. He's very good, fitted mine all nice and straight and Kinh's whole kit perfect.

Name: Robb

Mobile: 0410 861 877

Company: Hybrid Customs

Address: Unit 138, Radium Street, Welshpool WA

I got it painted by a guy called Hammid for $800 painting the whole kit. I can't remember his details at the moment but can find out from my other friends. He's not the best. My paint matched like 80%, plus I was in a hurry to finish for the Autosalon so I rushed him abit. :P He did a good job on my friends's cars before. Anyhow, Robb has his own personal contact for painting the kit. I just didn't go to his contact because I already booked in with Hammid. Let me know if you want his number.

Roy, have you thought about this kit (http://www.vertex-aus.com/products_digna_v35.html)?

One of my favourite. :thumbsup:

nice. haven't seen that kit before. front looks a bit like INGS but i dont want a kit that stoops too low. i drive around a lot of places where there's a steep incline and always scrape the bumper.

For me, this one is still nicer than INGS. Reason I didn't get it instead of Veilside was I didn't have time to wait for it back then.

Roy, V35 coupes are quite low even from factory. So whatever kit you put on will make it lower.

The look you got now is still ok. Your's black, so you can get away without the kit.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
