You need to replace your door actuators - about $250 each shipped from the USA is the cheapest. If you replace just the drivers side actuator it MAY fix the problem. I need to do mine too.

Go see George and Theo at GT Autosound Glynde - they have worked on V35 stereos before.

I pay $1,200 with Just Car Insurance (and that is a higher than normal premium as I use the car for work, plus have $5k worth of wheels/stereo/extras listed) - but I am rating 1, live in a safe suburb and the car is securely garaged at night. All of those things impact your premium.

Also, go check out www.sausa.com.au - we have 120 members in the club (including 4 x V35s). You should join up! Cruises, track days, car shows, dinners, paintball, we do it all.

As for the headlights, i did mine yesterday and used Turtle Wax Lens Restorer from Autobarn for $33 comes with a full kit that has clear instructions and works very well as you can see. I'm with RACQ insurance and pay upwards of $2k with road side assist comp insurance and some other things. Everything else wouldn't have a clue! goodluck

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
