Howz it...

Hello all!

Signing in from Texas, USA... love skyline! first cars that took my eye at an early age was the Datsun z series and as I got a little older found my love to the z32 and then the skylines from new to old. I like the 90s but the 70s and 80s really have an odd impact on how I envision my cpv35det could and should've been optioned. well maybe not then it wouldn't be as fun for me and this long road. I've had this car since 2005.

I currently drive a 2003 g35 coupe 6mt, but I have gathered as much JDM items between interior, exterior, electronics I've gotten myself to a point I'm needing harnesses to make certain components to function, or making it work lol.

That is actually the reason I am even here on the forum, i'm looking for instructions for the JDM Buttons on the navi.

I'm not the pretty car that out shines the rest, i'm the car in the corner or off to the side you secretly keep you eye on to see what it does.

so Hi all... I'm here for knowledge, questions and hopefully can contribute to some degree or another. I would load some photos but I am on a laptop I rarely use as my phone is dead at he moment.

Many thanks! It's doing about 400whp on about 8-9 lbs of boost. It's a moderate tune. It's still the stock block. But no worries I have another on the side I'm building and will be ordering the pistons rods and such in the next month.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
