there is no bodykit available that can make a v35 look any better than factory. it comes down to the shape of the headlight - its the ugliest part of a v35 in my opinion.

I disagree. While I think there isn't inherently wrong about the factory kit (and have seen some nicely lowered V's with the standard kit), I do think the right kit/wheels/height can transform the look of the V.

For example:

I think is a nice example of a kit that doesn't go overboard... I agree that the V35 Headlights are its weakest part though!

Whatever body kit you get, please don't get the GTR lookalike front bar...

+1000000 I hate seeing this.

aaaah if you look closely the INGS panels are just an addition to the original bumpers. ... thats why they look acceptable. well the front does at least..

the point i was getting at was that nobody produces a complete bumper that looks right. they all go overboard with curves and angles that dont match any other part of the car

The thing is the V35 coupe has a very unique shape and lines, that's why it's hard for aftermarket bodykit makers to get their designs right. Add to the fact that this car was designed mainly for the American market, hence any Jap style aero bits would not look right on the V35.

Have a look at the Burnout lip kit, comes in carbon or Fiber, has a front lip, side skirts (they cover the OEM ones) and also rear pods.

It took me ages to find this site once i found the name of the kit, they speak english so u can email them for quotes, when i had one done it was around $2500 to your door including customs charges.

$50,000 according to him of fail

When he says he 'spent $50k on it' I think he means he bought it 5 years ago for $40k (which would be true) and has spent $10k on it .... but seriously, they are some tasteless mods IMHO - those wheels are pure puke - and for $4k he could have bought some high end Nismo wheels in decent offset rather than the fail wheels with large spacers (which are not only dangerous, but are illegal and void your insurance) .... what a tool.

But as opposed to most, I quite like the GTR front bar - especially with the carbon fibre centre.

    • 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 ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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  
    • 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.
