Stoptechs are on the front now.. So much better than brembos , most likey the 5.1 fluid that made the difference

Oil catch can in

Fuel filter done

Gave the new rubber a blast and it has change the car, no more unpredictable oversteer, and more neutral.

Reliability testing continues

Did about 120 laps at Wakefield

Not very fast a best of 11.8

Even at 9psi the f*ker is laggy as shit and then doesn't power on. Even on gear shifts there is a noticeable half second before boost kicks back in anyway I think the -7 are f**ked and need to be replaced before they die in a fire( or I have a boost leak)

The rsr rubber is pretty shit as well.. Ill reserve judgment after a wheel alignment

Your a very hard critic fatz. Lots of us would die to just be able to drive a stock GTR round a track lol. Hope you get it sorted :) 120 laps is a nice effort :) and no brakeages :P

put in some adjustable camber arms front and rear

gave the car a once over and discovered a oil leak from one of the high pressure hoses on the 4wd( cracked it up but looks like it need replacing)

will have a look at the ic hoses to see if i can find a boost leak tonight

put a proper bucket seat in this thing over the weekend ( as teh stock gtr seat is shit)

flashy fire extinguisher brack hit everywhere on the bride SL rails( not so flashy anymore lol)

so its been modified to fit

will be getting the rear guards rolled and hopefull a alignment soon

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
