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 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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
