Hi, used this site plenty but finally signed up.

I'd like to find out more about what's been done to my recently purchased Black V35... as far as any history goes it stops at Grafton by a girl who knew nothing about the car.

 

I can tell it's had some work but also looks like a small accident at one point? Besides mods I CAN see, I'm curious to know more if I can find the old owner/s.

To help anyone recognise the car, its got a kinetix plenum, nismo sways, english nav screen, asuka video box?, 'repainted driver front fender', silver mirrors..., jvc headunit, viper security system, carbon intake tube, aftermarket mph guage..., some extra ground wires, apexi throttle controller, unconnected oil cooler, aftermarket headlights, various support parts for the bumpers removed, and some interior carbon wrap...

Attached is the only photo I've taken so far... 😅

Wow, that's my old car!

 

I crashed it in Aug 2018 and it was a write-off (I assume stat write-off since it has been repaired and re-registered). I hit the front right hand corner and it damaged the bar, guard, light support (I think it snapped one of the headlight mounts), totalled the oil cooler, and cracked the front carbon fibre support (which was the main reason for the writeoff - insurance said the composite carbon front nose is around $15k brand new out of Japan).

 

Does it still have the black SAFCII mounted where the ashtray used to be?

I was going to say it was your car :)

I guess you mean, not a stat write-off?

Probably not too hard to repair those items if they had a donor car.  The question is, has it been repaired properly?  or just enough to get a RWC?

Car looks shiny. Fix up the weird bits and drive it.

Yeah thats the idea. I'm fortunate enough to have a parts car. But she'll be mint when I'm done with it haha

Can tell you it's (rad support) still cracked and crap 😂 I've already straightened the rear bar out because it was missing clips and sagging. Headlights are in the middle of a swap but I need a ballast as one was left without a cap and has given out.

    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.  
    • Thanks, these seem to lay it out a bit differently. I will get back to you guys after i do some tests and more digging.
