Yea been reading for awhile, just had little input, my F&F memory was failing me haha..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/393468-volk-racing-te37sl-wheels-with-or-without-stickers/page__st__20

Check my post in there regarding wheel stickers.. getting pretty keen for gold ones! let me know what you guys think?

We will fix the F&F problem!! Lol

Checking link now

ah thats good then.

yeah cause rewireable fuses are illegal now, if you touch a circuit that has it you have to redo everything.

i mean i could probably do it but i wouldnt be happy about it lololol. plus it may hurt your pocket a little. idk, maybe 500-1000 with everything done by me, including your garage. but thats a fair guess

hmm... dunno ant,

i kinda see it as, are you doing black on yellow or yellow on black, adding yellow when your trying to put more black in could look a bit odd?

could be a bit over the top you know?

though if i saw it id probably like it so idk. see what others think i guess.

I hope there are no OH&S peeps in here :P we may fail to meet safety requirements

No OH&S at home

True story time

When dad and I were building a clubman we had it sitting on a table in the garage which was on wheels donated by woolworths or Coles and we could wheel it around the garage.

As the car was only sitting on wooden blocks on the table there was only 4 inches clearance between car and table but this night we needed to do something under the car so we wheel the table over to where the chain block is.

Now the chain block is attached to an RSJ that is in the roof of the garage and we used a seat belt between the hook and the car and winch up the rear of the car.

I grab a jack stand but dad says no need it's only a two minute job, he climbs under the car does the job and crawls out.

The very second he is clear of the car the seat belt breaks and the car comes crashing down onto the table.

We ALWAYS used jack stands after that so maybe OH&S should be applied with vigilance in a home garage

Yeah it's pretty old school here :P but that gives me something to work towards.... Cheers man!

Ant, not convinced on the red.... If the yellow/gold matched your car then it'd be good....

I won't go under a car without stands etc... Even doing my diff bushes before Texi, 10min job but put stands under, found the jack creeps so I was happy I thought about safety for a change!

I guess im looking at it as the wheels were meant to have these stickers onit, red really wont go with my car imo.. and the only other colour that rays makes the stickers in close to my car colour is gold.. they wont match the yellow exactly, they will be a little more subtly than bright yellow, and could break up the wheel nicely?.. they will match the brembo calipers in gold though too!

dunno what to do really ha..

a seat belt? lololololol

whats the SWL?? bahaha

At least 300kg

When I worked at a wreckers I would cut the seat belts out of the car and use them for slings to pull the motor and box out of the car

Never ever had one break before that night in the garage

I guess im looking at it as the wheels were meant to have these stickers onit, red really wont go with my car imo.. and the only other colour that rays makes the stickers in close to my car colour is gold.. they wont match the yellow exactly, they will be a little more subtly than bright yellow, and could break up the wheel nicely?.. they will match the brembo calipers in gold though too!

i think go with the yellow Anthony, (not the fluro ones on the new SL's) they will look the part.

I'm buying a set of knock off TE37's soon and putting the red ones on (buying a set of real SL's after my move - too many bad stories about rims disappearing during transport for my likeing to do it now)

yea ive got the red already which it came with.... i think i may have to buy the gold ones and just see.. i played around with the photo shop some more and even if i dull the gold right down, it still looks good imo..

i kind of had the same trouble when picking number plate colours, i went for black and gold, the gold doesnt match but ties in really well imo, so it may work the same way, as the yellow wont be spot on the same, and im not sure if it would look too bright if it did anyways?...

yea not keen on the fluro, just sounds abit gay really haha

Yah, Fluro is Gaids!!!

But you've made all the right choices so far with the car so I'm looking forward to seeing what you choose ;)

    • "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 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
