Hello,

This is weird writting like a newbie. I'm a former Z32 owner of 5 years and just recently won a V36 in the Jap auctions. Still in the process of getting it here and already I have a list of mods and questions. Feel free to give me your opinions, questions and advice. This is a totaly new car for me so even though I have car experience none with this baby.

I purchased a 2007 V36 Auto Premium model with 102,000k's

Plans for it's arrival. In the following order

1. New Tyres if required - 225/45/18 F 245/40/18 R Khumo Ku31

2. Alarm system

3. Tinting darkest legal

4a. Service with synthetic oil, all new fluids including radiator, power steering, brake fluid, gearbox and diff oil change and install magnetic drain plug to engine sump.

4b. Replace jap buttons on dash - Is there a thread for how to do this?

5.Eibach Pro-kit springs (25mm drop) and Hotchkis sway bars (interesed to hear opinions if these are need with this car for road use. I've read these chassis are already very good and I my be wasting money on sway bars?)

6. Infinity stoptec brakes and rotors on all four to stop on a dime and look tough if nothing else

7. Wheel spacers on stock rims with engineering cert. to get rims closer to flush, mayber 15mm don't want to go rediculous? Will also improove grip with the additiona 30mm track.

8. K&N drop in filters

9. Invidia cat back system with Kenetix racing cats

10. Transmittion cooler upgrade (is this need for road use in QLD?)

11. Dyno tune - can these cars be tuned in stock mode or is a piggy back or flash chip needed

As I do these I will start a tread or post in DIY.

So excided, stupid slow boats, comon car get here :)

Max.

Hello,

I too just got my car on auction from Japan. I got a 2007 V36 Auto SP Sedan with 36,000kms

1) I have paid for a Stillen Gen 3 Ultra Long Intake

2) Getting Eibach Pro KIt Springs

3) Hotchkis sway bars (highly recommended by alot of V36 owners. They said to make this the number 1 priority over other mods)

4) Grounding kit, have not found one yet. Someone suggested transgo shift. Not too sure if I'll go that way. Alot of money to be spent.

5) Alarm & tyres would be done on compliance. Looking at getting Yokohama S-drives or advan sport

Wheel spacers seem like a good idea, might look into that.

Am told the car runs rich from factory and a tune might help. Still unsure about how the tuning gets done.

Update you as I go (if I remember :P)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
