Righto guys need some opinions on which way to go here with the 32. Am in the stages of starting to replace all the bushes, ball joints etc. I am planning on doing the suspension also and am torn between 2 options. Option 1 is to buy new suspension struts off nissan (if still available) and put them in the car. Option 2 is to get some nismo s tune coilovers and fit them and also get some standard struts of nissan to keep in the cupboard (once again if available) just to have so I still have standard suspension. What do you guys think I should do?

I would go option 3 which is to get some bilstein struts on stock springs and also get some standard nissan shocks to store in the cupboard.

I now understand why people rave about Bilstein's because the MRs came from the factory with them.

I do have some spare struts for the Caldina stored away for when the stock TRD (kyb) ones die. Won't need to get spares for the MR because Bilstein's last forever.

My research indicates that the Nismo S tune's are really good but can be a tiny bit harsh for our roads. Wouldn't want a mid-corner bump to unsettle the car now would we?

Who's doing the replacement of said bushes and the wheel alignment for you?

Umm im not from Toowoomba but I do live close by, I also have a friend with a v35 that lives close too so we may be interested in getting to know a few locals as such.

Black V35?

If so, it looks horn.

I really think it's time 'certain people' organised something for both the old heads and to welcome the multitude of new people that have popped up in this thread.

I'm new here myself so would love to tag along :yes:

Thanks Guys.

No the V35 is black, And it has a billet grille that is rare in this country. (check out my garage for a better pic) not to mention the awesome sounds I installed into it for him.

Myself and Nato (v35 owner) are doing a run from Dalby up to the sunny coast (Lunch by the beach) through the range next sat morning if anybody is interested.

Mooseboy

Don't think I can do a run up to the sunny coast just for lunch these days. Got plenty of things to do around the place. Have 'priorities' nowadays.

Stay single as long as you can and whatever you do, don't get kids until you're truly ready ;)

May be able to squeeze in something closer to home though.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
