yup lower it. A 350z spring/shocks setup will drop you around 30mm which will give you a good stance and can either be cheap or exy depending on the components you use.

The 350Z nismo suspension is another option for a little more than a cheap springs/shocks setup.

Coilovers will get you "slammed" but will not be cheap to do it properly

DROP IT!

You will never regret it when you get thumbs up everywhere you go... and I've never been pulled over for ride height....

I'm currently at last measure stilling at 77mm at the lowest point.

BC coilovers are a great investment... drop or raise at your desire!

I'm with this guy, even though he's kinda gay ;)

Although when it's slammed and you want to go to the shops with massive speed bumps, you kinda wish your car was 4x4 spec lol

Or just be like me and avoid going to the shops altogether haha

Y not the GTR kit, i love the look of the front bar

because there are Gt-Rs out there.

I guess it's all about personal opinion.

But some people on other skyline forum seems to laugh at the body kit. Because they believe that whoever buys the GT-R kit is a GT-R wannabe...

No personal offence, just sharing what's on other forums.

The front bumper is more aggressive though :)

Yeh im not getting it cauz i want a GTR (well who doesnt want a GTR but anyways) i just love the style of the mesh grills in the front and rear bar im not going to badge it as a GTR if i do get one, but im looking at all these pics and the paint matching is making want to cry i have seen some horrific paint jobs and its making think i should keep it stock lower it and turn it into a sleeper. If i was to put a turbo kit in it later on what sort of suspension should i be looking at to be able to cope with the increase of power?

I guess it's just different people have different opinions.

To tell the truth, I also thought of putting on this GT-R styled body kit before too. But after more research, I opted to go with a clean look that is not too expensive and keep the stock look of the V35 coupe. :)

Honestly i think every v35 owner goes through this once they get their ride. As you did, we do a bit of research and come across the hoards of tolls saying how ricer it is and get turned off ><. Also its expensive + the car is my daily which was the main turn off for me.

In Australia i think it is extremely unique to have the gtr or the aston martin body kit and you will always get compliments from everyone. Its those few car enthusiasts who think anything modified is ricer and if they dont approve of it then its shit.

whatever kit u decide on, lower the car first. last thing you wanna have is a kitted car with off-roader style wheel gap.

be prepared to sacrifice going to places with high speed bumps, steep inclines and mates houses with big curbs. i'm just mildly lowered (1.25 inches) and the front bumper and diff protector skid plate scrapes on most ramps.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
