I've run spacers on my street and track cars for the last 4 years with no issues.

It will unlikely void your insurance unless it was a contributing factor to the accident ... ie if your wheel cheers off the studs doubt you will be covered but if you get ran up the back of I highly doubt it will

Ooops just realised i wrote warranty, i meant insurance.. sorry it's Saturday lol.

Yeah good point, i just know that in my experience insurance companies will find any excuse NOT to pay you.

buying up parts at the moment to get the V running nicely.

I went for a twistys run with my friend in his new FT86 (both auto)

In the tight stuff he ran away but then as soon as there is anything resembling power required im right back in it.

The FT86 is deifnitely a nice car, but makes the V look like a whale when they are parked side by side

I test drove one before I started tweaking the V...

Couldn't live with that horrible boxer engine! (I owned an AE111 Levin coupe before the V... so I'm not against small rev-happy 4 cylinders).

And I really disliked the fake induction noise set up... My first VQ powered car was stock with a pod filter, and it was so loud I got pulled over and threatened with a defect for my 'loud exhaust' (exhaust was stock)...

in regards to the induction noise you can definitely get them turned off now, but i can see your point. I think you get a lot of kit for the money in terms of new car, but tbh if it were me i would buy a 135i BMW for the same cash (he has a fully optioned GTS)

I was actually about to order an 86 on salary sacrifice but decided to buy a V35 instead privately

But I cant see myself Locked into a car for 4 years, Plus the depreciation so if your get stuck and need to sell it your are way behind on cash

Plates I got like 5 years ago as a joke as It was on my beater drift CA 180sx with unpainted bodykit... Had them so long now cant get rid of them. Even though the red doesn't suit they are beaten up, scrap marks from Oran park (RIP) I'm somewhat emotionally attached to them as gay as it is :P

Its not that I have lots of time, just a hour here or there and doing lots of little jobs, They will dry up soon though as Ive run out of most of those. Exterior is pretty much done besides getting a skirt resprayed (as someone took the protective sticker off and a lot of paint with it )

Something I did yesterday

I was going to order new door grips as mine were all scratched up. Thought I might have a go at restoring them as worse case I'll but a new pair anyway.

Before

Sanded with 400, 2 coats plastic prime, 3 coats random silver (close to exterior colour) had in the garage, 2 coats clear.

Its different to the other silver a fair bit, but will do for now till I get a bunch of stuff from the US

Pleased to announce that i have finally ordered my brand new CD009 gearbox and everything else needed like chromoly pivot ball, ss clutch lines and nismo bushings. Along with the new gearbox i have also got a Southbend (Exedy) Clutch & Steel Flywheel, Amsoil 75w90 gl4 gearbox oil and Amsoil 75w90 gl5 diff oil.

AND i have ordered a RJM clutch bracket, this is meant to make the notorious "knotchy" or "rough" 1st to 2nd gear change much much smoother. I have also semi-booked a date to get it all fitted through a local shop, i am keen as beans!

I got my tein s-techs installed today....now waiting for them to settle and then do the alignment////

anyone know how long I should wait for them to settle?

tomorrow I'm gonna install the z-tube/pop charger combo myself....wish me luck :whistling:

Locky i am home now, i finally see your car! Looks clean mate, i too need to clean up the door handle silver thingy.

I like the wheels, the front licence plate looks tiny compared to the normal ones hey.

I have just replaced my bose door speaker, got a 2nd hand one off a guy named Josh that bought a v35 wreck. Works like new, finally my right ear can join my left ear in enjoying house music again!

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
