Hey mate, nice progress with the build. Quick off topic question about the rpf1's, did you have to do any body work to get them to fit? Rolling lip etc?

Hey mate, cheers.

No, none at all I might have to when the coilovers go in but we'll see. I am only running standard suspension with lower springs at the moment.

My coilovers are yet to be installed still.... even tho I haven't driven it often... when I do just makes me love it so much more!

hooooooooottttt

are your guards rolled?

Cheers mate, and not to my knowledge... I didn't roll them but when I first got the car I had Advan Model T5s on the car... so they might have rolled it before landing to Aus but yeah... not 100% sure... there are no tell tale signs of it.

nice stance......series 3 xenons on your wish list ? hehe

Hahaha they would only be a wish... I can't justify the money for them... ridiculous... lol.

I am leaning more towards track specing the GTR soon...

Looking good man. Headlights are looking a bit hazy but.

Get this stuff from Autobarn or wherever. Has worked an absolute treat on 3 33s

Yeah I have tried it... I think they are beyond saving... or at least within my ability haha

reallllly need to get in there with the sandpaper hard out. Post some up close hi def pics of the headlights if you want. Maybe they are doable or maybe they have other shit goin on.

Should take about half an hour each light.

Yeah my mates who do my detailing did it last time.. I think its a process I have to repeat a couple of times... I'm gonna get a paint correction in a couple of months most likely after I come back from the states because I got offered a shoot with the car. so we'll see how i go hahaha.

Coilovers are now in... Pays to have a AMG Mercedes Mechanic as a cousin who will help out his older cous haha.

Just have to tweak the dampening, add a couple sway bars and roll my guards before I go lower. The arse end just wants to hop, also found out why the standard suspension was so rough... the front two standard coilovers were STUFFED...

Finally got my guards rolled after a long stuff around with 3 of the mobile companies that do them....

I got them rolled by Mobile Guard Rolling, good work, nice bloke and he made the time to come to me to do it...

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mobile-Guard-Rolling/294487220606537?ref=ts&fref=ts

Cost me $150 for 2 rears where I was previously quoted $200.

Now I am hoping I can book my GTR in at Accurate Suspension to get it set up by Ken and then it's off to a Panel beater mate of a mate to get a paint correction.

then it's SHOOT TIME... with Mr Ben Birch and Mile High Films.

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • 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 😅
