ah shit sorry mate - meant to ring you. Can't come up - we are fully booked on the weekend - it is a bugger of a month for Birthdays etc. I forgot you are in Mildura - wondered why you hadn't been banging down my door for some pool and jamesons :(

yeah I couldn't believe it either! Really caught me off guard though - as I am still sourcing stock bits to change over before compliance. It will have to sit in under my rear verandah until I get all the bits sorted and take it in for compliance. I might even just leave it sitting until I sell my S15. My customs agent told me this arvo it should be ready to pick up tomorrow.

where are you sorcing stock parts?

Im just looking for some stock parts also, a turbo, computer, driver seat etc...

Cant even find people who i can hire off

No worries, I can drop down PVP today or 2morrow to switch em.

I dont think you will need to change computer, iam not sure if they would check it, but better be safe then sorry and change it, better take the hand controller thiing out, might as well change the computer over too since you've done the hard work to get there.

Anything else?

Steering wheel?

Just give us a holla.

Will

I have sourced some R34 wheels (thanks IceDuck!), and stock suspension (thanks AboBob!), but can't find a stock R34 exhaust anywhere! I have called literally 30 different places and tried everyone, but to no avail. The car is going to have to sit around until I can find one :(

well I picked up my R34 today and the stereo and turbo timer are still in it! You have to get lucky sometimes!!! Security was suprisingly good at Outer Harbour/North Haven, so I don't think things will go missing here anymore.

yeah it is absolutely awesome Erin - much better condition than anticipated and much more power too! It won't be on the road for at least 6 weeks until I sort various things out with various cars, but at least it is here now!

Ah great news guys! I have some awesome news too, MY CAR IS ON THE WAY!!! I was told a few days ago that my car had missed the last ship and the last ship had broken down so it was going to be 3 weeks before i could get a spot, BUT today I get an email saying my car is on the ship and that the shipping agent was just slack surrendering the bill of lading :chairshot . So hopefully you guys will see a new R32 cruzin around Adelaide in the next couple of weeks :)

Its the 1 in my avatar, its got a GTR face but a IMPUL bodykit, look for IMPUL writen on the boot lid!

I can post pics if u like?

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
