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 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
