Atermarket help/needed info V35

Hey guys,

Does anyone know of Australia aftermarket websites in Australia that sell high quality, front bumpers, grilles, side splitters, rear roof window spoilers etc.

I have seen these products accessible over in the US. Unfortunately shipping costs are through the roof :(. 

If you guys have any websites/Stores please help! :)

 

Cheers Guys

Almost nowhere in Australia that sells anything body-kit related for the V35, sadly. And the few that do .... well ask around for the quality of their goods.

BUT, I have a brand new Nismo style Urethane (= unbreakable, unlike fibreglass) front bar for sale - $1,000 if you are interested.

I have the same problem. The best thing you can do is speak with the company regarding shipping cost. I managed to get my fender and bonnet down to $300 (instead of $700 shipping cost). Another method might help is using ebay.

Yeah, i suppose if worst comes to worst i will do the same. Its a shame the V35s dont have as much aftermarket support.

FYI to ship my Nismo style urethane bumper from the US cost $1,250! So to split the shipping cost I got them to slip 4 bars into each other in the one box for the same shipping fee. - hence why I have one left for sale (keeping one, sold 2, and one left). I did however then trigger the 'over $1k import' rule and had to pay customs clearance, duties and GST, which amounted to a lot! :(

I got one of those cheap body kits from carmate about 9 years ago now. and its still on there looking like new.

But i did have to spend alot more getting the rear bumper looking right. extra $800 untill i was happy

A group buy for items of this size doesn't work - shipping is based on cubic weight, so unless you can slip the bars inside each other in the same box (and the seller is wiling to do this) then you won't save a cent on shipping. Plus, once you exceed $1,000 of item plus postage value you get hit with customs clearance (involving a customs agent), customs duty, fees and gst on top of all that. It is a VERY expensive exercise, so have your wallet ready.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
