Hey guys,

I've been skulking around these forums for a few weeks now ever since I bought my v35.

Thought I'd take the time to post a couple of pics.

She's an 03 model AT with 58kkms on the clock. Fresh import from Japan.

I've gone from my MX5 ^^^^ to this - and it's a bit of a culture shock, different handling and i'm use to manual, but i'm loving it =).

I've already been hit by the mod bug... these forums can be dangerous that way.. =)

I've had the:

1) roof vinyl wrapped in gloss black by carbondemon.

2) The rear lights tinted.

3) Wheels repaired and painted matt black.

I've ordered the following:

1) Cusco 1.5 way AT LSD.

2) Bell Works CF paddle shifters.

3) Iphone ash tray dock.

4) Motordyne Plenum Spacer Kit

5) JWT pop charger

6) Ztube Intake

7) Grounding Kit

8) Blackvue DR400G-HD (a little extra insurance).

9) Flip key from the states.

Potential future purchases:

1) Headlights - the passenger light leaks.

2) Transgo Shift Kit.

3) Matt black wrap???

4) Looking at superchargers ... =)

So far everything has gone smoothly except I have a noise in the rear axles when taking off - ie when the drive train is under stress.

This is my next project to tackle.

Thanks guys!

I won't comment on visual mods (each to their own), but the bang-for-buck winner in your list is the Transgo shift kit. Do that first!

The Works Bell paddle shifts will be more use once that's done.

The earthing kit is controversial (I couldn't pick the difference with stock trans, but my wife could :/), but I'd only say it's worthwhile if you DIY as you can buy the materials for little more than loose change. Spend any more than that & it's a waste of money, IMO.

BTW, your car looks good - I've always liked the black on white on the V35's.

Welcome!

The rear axle click is common, you can find the fix here: http://www.infinitiscene.com/forum/threads/10337-Rear-axle-click-fix

I haven't carried out this myself, but it doesn't seem like you will cause any damage until you get it fixed.

looks good buddy! I havent heard anything about the shift kit / paddle shifters.. got any links?

Transgo Shiftkit is meant to be awesome for auto's, i have heard it churps right through to 3rd lol. I think it just speeds up auto shifts, not sure though i have a manual.

Thanks guys. I'm happy with the car.

What sort of vinyl was used for your roof & tails? i am wanting to do the roof too but i don't want to buy shit stuff that will just peel off.

I believe it was 3m scotchprint vinyl. I am extremely happy with the result and would fully recommend it.

The company who did it http://carbondemon.com.au/ - his wife and him do all the wrapping. They have a superb 350z in matt black, and a mini cooper in matt / red.

I bought the paddle shifters off this website. http://www.tunersgroup.com/Online_Store/Works_Bell_Column_Shifter.html

Took a while to arrive, but I've got them in my study ready to install now =).

When I first got the car I was able to chirp it in second... but no longer =( - the transgo shift kit will be a must especially if I get rid of the mx5 and start taking this beast to the track.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
