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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
