What Have You Done To Your V-Series Today?


Recommended Posts

Plastic one from kinetic or something like that which was like 130

Would be a bitch to wrap though and fake carbon wrap looks horrible

i'll be the judge of that on both counts.

but anyway - it won't be carbon - it will be matte anthracite to match my rims. I'd happily paint it but i know it wil most likely look shit after it takes a few bugs and highway debris.

how does it fit?

Hmm could not find anything for phones to be floor mounted but found this

http://www.ebay.com....1#ht_567wt_1163

Are you using an iphone?

this is the one i'm using.

the only issue with it is that when you put the passenger seat forward, and it moves automatically along the rails - it will foul on the holder as it gets towards the end of the tracks and slow the seat down. Puts a bit of strain on the motor, so i always manually stop it with the switch when it gets close.

Depends how often you carry people in the rear seats of your car i guess.

Well my car is a sedan so not too big of an issue to move the chair forward much. I've found a few with a cradles...not too sure if I like em. Can you do me a favour and take a pic with the phone in it? ;):wub:

thanks tyler, yeah have seen those ones but they're v expensive! I was going to have a go at wrapping mine first - but i have seen there are some on ebay for like 140ish - just wanting to know how they fit, and if thats what Locky is using.

just be mindful of the ebay ones fitment can be a complete ball breaker.

Paid like $100 for mine and their definition of 'bolt-on' is the complete opposite of what I was thinking

Bought some wheels for the V35

After missing out on some Leon harrdits and SSR VF1's ended up getting these for a reasonable amount

Veilside Andrew Golt (Pretty cool throw back as my old white 13 had the original andrews on it)

Apparently they are not super rare, byut not common either only 400 sets made by SSR, 19x9+11 19x10.5+5

92mm af dish at the front and 130mm at the rear :)

Going to run them without centercaps though or try and mod them to get rid of that fake center nut thing

Not that im doing it, but the car went in to East Coast for the second round of performance mods for cermaic coated headers, 2" down pipes, custom Y pipe with High Flow cat and another retune. Hoping for some nice gains along with some extra meaty zorstness.

    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
