What Have You Done To Your V-Series Today?

[Triggs]

I gave Plasti-dip a go on my Axis wheels i had swapped for my standard wheels.

Replaced the centrecaps too.

I think it turned out pretty well.

how long did it take you to spray the wheels?

[Triggs]

All i did was take the wheels off (with the tires still on), clean the wheels, sprayed about 4-5 coats with 5 min drying intervals.

I am getting close to finished on my brakes. Stripped to bare metal, resprayed, QFM HPX pads, Nismo steel braided lines and shiny new bleed screws. Now just got to bleed them without stuffing up the paint :-x<br />

[Daleo]

That's a bitchin' colour on those calipers SMOKEY!

[(Locky)]

got the tyres swapped over onto my new rims for the rear

19x10.5-3(+5 with 8mm slip on to clear brembo's) Will do the extended studs on the other side tomorrow so I can put both on, then just need money for tyres for the front

Took out the lock ring so cant go any lower without being super dodgy and removing the whole upper spring seat ( so may just drop out on big bumps)

[SMOKEYV35]

Adjustable arms next??

[(Locky)]

Not in the near future, got a bunch of lil stuff I have at a fright forwarder in 'merica that I'm just waiting on 1 more thing to come in so I can get it all combined and have it sent over

[SMOKEYV35]

Mmmkay. I'll call you "Manuel" until then..... :-P

[(Locky)]

Did the studs on the other side today so both rears are on,

after that and the suspension settled it seems to tuck in a lil more

[Seano350GT]

so much dish

[mushilea]

Installed my dimpled/slotted rotors, QFM HPX pads, S/S Braided HEL brake lines, brake flush + oil change.

Oh and took advantage of Good Year's 4 tyres for the price of 3 sale, and bought Eagle F1 Directional 5's all round.

I've noticed a marked improvement in brake feel and performance... very happy.

[Seano350GT]

nice, are these from RDA? i have the exact same setup but using ebc red stuff pads.

[SMOKEYV35]

Mushilea - what order did you bleed the brakes in? I followed the g35 FSM which said drivers rear, passenger front, passenger rear, drivers front.....haven't driven the car yet but I'm questioning the process. I understood to always bleed from furthest point from master cylinder.

Furthest away first. Your right.

Remember the g35 will have the master cyl on the opposite side, yeah? Thus telling you the wrong order.

While I think you'd get away with it, I'd do it again because you know, brakes are sorta important.

[SMOKEYV35]

Yeh I thought that might be the case. I used a motive power bleeder and put through two and a bit bottles until no bubbles came out. Bled three times in total and even knocked the calipers with a mallet to break loose any air pockets. So maybe I will see how it feels on the street and if not up to scratch I will try the old method.

[Seano350GT]

i also have a motive pressure bleeder, shits awesome.

[SMOKEYV35]

Dropped my car on the deck with the BC's in - didn't even touch the settings out of the box - have less than a finger gap all round and clears the rolled guards by 2-3mm on full compression, and 100mm clearance underneath so I am stoked! pretty happy with how it looks - now to see how it rides an handles.

[(Locky)]

probably horrible BS's are shocking to begin with let alone without adjusting

Did you adjust to make sure there is an even preload?

Sure you have 100mm ... the chassis on these cars seem to hang stupidly low compared to other nissans

[SMOKEYV35]

be a dick then
