Hahaha, OMG that bonnet is awesome. But I've already set out with my plan toward modifying my babe, GTR front, Chargespeed bonnet, full respray in Starfire Lexus Pearl White (best white colour I've heard). Carbon diffuser, rear and front splash guard and clear indicator signal light are now on the way. Only performance-wise mods to be purchased, that includes BC BR Coilovers, one complete set of sway bars + camber kit (front & rear) and a set of front and rear slotted disc rotors. Like i said, I know they are no away to compete with Tein and Cusco, respectively but imo they are good bang for bucks. here is the link for sway bars and camber. If you guys can throw in any comment that would be great ;)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GODSPEED-350z-g35-suspension-sway-bar-front-camber-rear-toe-arm-rear-camber-/300803383628

Ah, btw, I'm considering between these 2 suppliers for disc rotors:

1. GSL Rallysports: Always heard good feedback from this guy and apprently prices are cheap. I've already called, they can do about $550 front and rear slotted to fit non-brembo calipers

2. Rapid Rs: it's said the rotors are genuine and they come in slotted or slotted dimpled. Looks very nice yet not sure about quality. I've read from falcon forum, this guy doesnt seem to get bad feedback. Here are the links to their products:

Slotted: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-RDA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-SLOTTED-296MM-292MM-/150823403296?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231dc67f20 ($322 + delivery $35)

Slotted dimpled http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-UPG-SLOTT-296MM-292MM-/151064551742?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item232c26213e ($402 + delivery $35)

Anyone could help me out with decision making here. lol, I'm procastinating all the times :))

Greddy + Chargespeed is what I would vote for if I had a gun to my head.

Honestly though, the 3 gtr front bars look absolute trash. It's really cheap and doesn't suit the car.

Also not a big fan of people putting carbon/FRP bonnets on what is, for all intents and purposes, a luxury GT car. Unless you are packing big horsepower, there is no need for it

The urethane Nismo bar is the only way to go .... you WILL regret your decision to go fibreglass the 2nd time to hit it on something and you are up for a new bar plus painting. FG just sucks.

Oh, I happen to have a urethane Nismo bar for sale :)

I'll take it one step further with the GTR mods to say that it will make the car look cheap and tacky because it's pretending to be a car worth way more than what it actually is. If you really like the GTR look, then the only way is to buy a real GTR. Otherwise, you will look like a fool.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
