I agree, I have been searching for used gear... But to start off I'll be getting into the bracing side of things first then do springs/shocks or coilovers. I don't want the car any lower as it's a pain to park it as it is and I'm teaching my gf how to drive.

Soon will be winning soon.

So another tiny update.

Got a double din fasica and an NSA04 I bought these a month ago, before I decided to spend money elsewhere :D.

My rear wiper arm arrived aswell.

This post interests me.

SHOTGUN!! xD

is that brand new from nissan? if so....does it cost much? as opposed to buying parts second hand from people.

It was $55 from col crawford. I was quoted up to $75 from wreckers, ofcourse that would have most likely included the wiper part aswell. Yes it is brand new.

I always check with the dealer first before I get quotes from wreckers. Also, I was quoted $52 ex for the front seal in the rear diff. Go figure...

I'm not having much luck with keeping this car in shape, interior parts are breaking for me :(

Last night I broke one of the cargo net brackets, I still have to get the crack in the dash fixed -.-

so I was on epcdata last night going crazy looking for the handle to release the storage door cause it came with a big scratch. I also found out that the AXIS S definitely has different suspension on paper because I found the part numbers and they are different to stock part numbers, all I need to do is check out the shocks to find a PN on them.

When I spoke to Alex he pointed something out about my headlights appears they have been darkened by Autech. Which I also noticed in some auction pictures after he mentioned it. I hope I'm never in an accident, I'll cry.

So I'm ganna order my replacement brackets and handles hopefully from Nissan.

I've also purchased a plenum spacer.

Where did you get the double din fascia from? I have seen a few variations and people saying the AC button quality is not as good as what they pulled out. How do you find that one in comparison?

I got it from perry infiniti on ebay, well it has all the oem stickers on it.. If you wanted to I guess you could move the old buttons across. Apparently there are two different double din fascia's nav and non nav, the nav one is a bit longer I think.

I haven't installed it yet, the colour seems to be a bit duller than the one I currently have, doesn't really bother me as long the buttons function as buttons then I'm happy.

Yups, done that. Dog broke one of mine.

What did you get?

I got a BLOX racing spacer for $140 shipped. I've read forums from the states that say they haven't had issues. When installing this do you need to drain the coolant??

Ok, so I've installed my deck and the other bits to get it working. This deck is temporary until I find something I like and the pock I put in was from when I did a din conversion in my pulsar, fit perfect.

The only issue I have was I had no idea that the NSA04 unit didn't route audio from the TV, so I'm either going to make a cable from the 9 pin din to RCA then to 3.5mm stereo (reason for that is for future install of double din head unit with audio and video input) or run RCA's to 3.5mm to aux to the front, still haven't decided.

Also installed telly.

I didn't get a chance to install the BLOX spacer, will hopefully do it in march.

Orite

Thanks to Alex the plenum spacer is in. Great results,I kinda feel bottom and mid-range has slight improvements and induction noise because drift.

So in April hopefully I'll have caster bushes, front and rear swaybars with the front brace and the R34 brakes and rotors installed with the scratched up V35 wheels all installed by Jetwreck (U the best) :D Swaybars and brace will supplied by Daleo (Cheers, U also the best).

Oh also went to a place that had lots and lots of Nismo stickers and Nissan :woot::woot: . Got Nismo?? :cheers: Good times.
Big thanks to Alex for today.

Hells yeah should call your garage the PNM35 Garage of Schooling.

Also worked out my fuel consumption. 13.63L/100KM. Just filled up 48L got 352KM reason why I filled up is because my fuel gauge is way out and said I was at 3/4 of a tank. If I can be bothered I'll have a guise for the float thing that Alex told me about.

Soooo front and rear swaybars are installed, along with the caster bushes. I forgot to get pics :(. But if you can imagine what swaybars would look like on a stag, that's how mine looks :P

Heaps less roll. Doesn't feel like a tonne of weight is transferred anymore when going around a corner, tyres scream when going round round abouts :D.
Thanks heaps Craig. You the best. Did I mention full hard? Coz racecar. Even though the day was full of PNM35 bashing I still had fun :P.

I won a set of Bilstein shocks and they hopefully will come with a rear brace :D. Still thinking if I should try with stock springs or go with Nismo springs.

Craig also found something interesting while under my car. First thing he said "I wonder if I can take it and put it on my car." lol.

Craig thought it would be to do with lights. I mentioned that I've seen my headlights move up and down while stopped in traffic.


I've done research and came up with bugger all, But after a google search it came with 'Control headlight aiming', So I'm going to assume some sort of headlight level correction thingo.

Should have tested it while it was up.

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
