Hey Guys

Just had a set of Vertini Mclaren black lip 20s fitted to my stock V35 now i need to decide to drop it like its hot or not. Tell me what u think

Cue Cobey....

Im sure cobey will chime in here, he has 20s and SLAMMED! Looks great !

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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
