hey guys what would the title be for the above product? looks good i may want to change the silver plastic look...

If you were referring to mine, it was from mimoUSA. They do dash kits for the G35, but were able to convert that to the RHD v35 and take into account things like not having the analogue clock in the middle. They use real carbon fibre.

I bought mine through ebay.

The material itself seems to be pretty high quality. The finish is good, as is the adhesive. The fit was pretty spot on for each part of the dash. The only thing that concerns me were the cuts - some were rough - I had to take a stanley knife to a couple of edges.

I think this is because I chose real carbon fibre as opposed to a different finish - it may be thicker than normal? I'm not sure.

All I can say is the more I drive the car, the more I like the look of the kit!

That looks fkn hot

They look like front 19 9.5 +12 and rear 19 10.5 +12 ????

I was gonna but the exact same setup ... Need to sell my oem rays first

Yes, that is the spec

Is your car lowered on springs or coilovers?

Cheap coilovers, but they do the job. Rears are maxxed, fronts could go much lower.

is it just me or is it half up on the gutter so looks lower :lol:

It is 1/2 on the gutter, but height is still the same. Some more crap phone photo's.

Original height was too low so raised by about 10mm, this was how it sat before I raised it:

Shredding paint!

It is relatively easy to drop the rear, 275 35 19's only scrub on heavy bumps with someone in the back seat. The front is lower by default due to the stock staggered fitment. I cheated by running a square setup with 245 40 19's on the front. Same rolling diam as rear so give you more clearance and close the tyre/arch gap. I've had stretched tyres before and do like the look, you have to go real low to pull it off. 235's on the front would be an easier fit. Oh and fat is the new stretch, haven't you heard :woot:

275 35 rear, 245 40 front

I was told by a tyre shop that if u ran less profile on rears, the car would not sit balanced, the rear would be lower than the fronts, is this true?

the guy recommended me get 40's all round or 35 on front and 40 on rear.

Stock runs staggered. The profile is the same, widths differ, so overall diameter is different front to rear (rear is bigger). The danger of running square (what I have now) is tripping the stability control, the computer thinks the rear is spinning faster than the front and kicks in. Hasn't happened yet and the opinion on the internet is mixed so I will see how I go.

The only benefit is you gain some ride height and loose some guard clearance.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
