Hi again guys,

After a lot of research I've finally figured out what model my car is (bit hard as I can't read Japanese).

I'm looking for any info on what parts are compatible with chassis/body and engine as I've been lead to believe they are different (V35/Infiniti G35 for chassis/body and 350z for engine/interior).

I need new bushings for the inner lower control arms on my front suspension, probably a few other things too...so would anyone know where/what I should be looking for?

I was told the parts below would suit - pic of damaged bushing and new part below.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, local mechanic hasn't got a clue...

Thanks ?

It's a V35 so V35 parts will fit. GT-8 is a coupe so I would think all other coupe parts will suit. The only difference is the gearbox I believe?

Thanks for the reply, forgot to mention in the original post that it's a sedan, does that make a difference to parts compatibility?

Been off the road for too long, really want to source the parts but can't find a local supplier, and don't want to end up with the wrong parts ?

Thanks

No, it makes no difference.  They are all the same car underneath.  The fact that it's a V35 still makes it hardly any different than an R32 underneath.  Most stuff looks essentially the same.  Of course, the parts may not swap like for like, but it's not as if Nissan made major changes to anything over the years.  So sedan = coupe = everything else.

Ok cool thanks, yeah seems that way hey, from what I've read only noted differences in any of the models released around same time of mine is engine configuration, slight weight difference, body shape and transmission...The whole Infiniti G35 got me a bit confused at first too, but that's just basically re-branding yeah?

Would you happen to know of any reliable suppliers in Perth or Aus region?

Thanks

And the small matter of moving the steering wheel to the other side....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
