I love my car too much to sell it. Maybe in a few years time when i replace it with a chaser or 34.

Wont b coming tonight, gonna swap out headunits time to dwiddle in unknown areas!

tech night was good. shy of shattering everything in my car (which he obv didnt do), it took him remarkably longer to hotwire my car past the standard alarm than the 5 seconds it took to get ralfs car started........install really is everything. if anything ralfs alarm seemed to make it easier to steal. :domokun:

my car goes to chris on tuesday to get sorted :) should have it back for a thursday drive.

yeah the old man in me has said "sell it and fix the VW"......but then the older man kicked in and said "you'll never sell it for what its worth, and that would be a waste of money more than any fuel economy will make up for"

Well we sold the astra and got a 4x4 navara, so we have the good of both worlds.

I should b right for this thursday too. Just not a huge drive

Car should be back in my possession in the next 7 days. Also splashed out on a roof spoiler today as well

keen to see the roof spoiler.

  • 2 weeks later...

I was wondering how long this thread would go "un-posted" my flush boot isn't coming, justjap reckons the fit isn't quite flush and preferred to refund it...

Still waiting for the skyline to be ready.. :-(

its on sunday..

Still working... Joys of working in the golf industry, busiest days are Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday. Very very rarely do I get any of these days off

Go a roof wing sitting at home, currently contemplating getting it wrapped. I have spare carbon fibre wrap lying around. I currently have boot, ashtray, arm rests, door handle plastics & door sil things wrapped.

What do you guys reckon? worth wrapping or pait it same colour as car [white]

Those of you who missed out on last nights dinner, it was great. Steak was sooo awesome. Good chat about the direction that people want the club to go as well.

There's gonna be another dinner next Wednesday. Any suggestions as to where? I've had one suggestion being the German Club. Never been there so I have no idea what it's like.

    • 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 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
