  1. nice ride looks like your missing the passenger side silver arm trim.you can get tthem from riverside infiniti in the US i replaced mine due to a scratch on one.
  2. Yes-larger tyres mean wider tires.BUT wider tyres increase the friction or surface area on the road thus making it more difficult to turn the tyres/wheel/car.Thus slower and LESS RESPONSIVE handling (for the 350gt in question) New SUPERCARS have larger rims because they were DESIGNED to run that size.Putting 20 inch rims on a car designed for 17s initially, is not going to suit the car at all.Appart from that its also apparently illegal (like most things in australia) to have rims larger than 2 inches over manufacturers specs. My point is that for a car designed with 17/18s,you will notice a detriment in the handling by installing 20s,no question. Also the larger the rim,the slower the acceleration will be for say a 0-100km/h run. It will be a harsher ride.Not good if you drive on sydney's roads..... Tyre costs will be much higher. But it will look better .You decide the trade-offs!
  3. the rims look awesome one note: the larger the rims,the better it looks,BUT the worse the handling becomes. if i were you i would stick with the 19s. I have had the oem 17s on mine since i got it,and was just about to get the oem 18s cause they look nicer. But as soon as i test drove my mates new v35 with 18 oems i changed my mind. The car feels heavier,harder to steer and worst of all it feels slower. I upgraded my old r32 from 16s to 17s and regretted the choice from day one. Plus if you want to shod them with QUALITY rubber,it will cost you a fortune on 20s. my 2c worth : )
  4. on a similar topic-whats the distance on the digital compass relate to? I have found that the closer i drive north towards hornsby,the smaller the number gets!
  5. probably easier to just find the wire in the loom and cut it,like we did with the old skylines for the over speed warning sound i have beep on my 03 coupe,so does my mate.Im sure its standard issue.
  6. you need the nissan software to do this. Laptop or handheld unit+cable+software
  7. if a solution is found,i will also be wanting this installed -cheers chris for the testing and waz
  8. My cd player will only play cds from slot 4,5 and 6 most of the time. In some instances it will play all 6 or a combination. I find that it comes down to how the discs are loaded into the magazine. start by ejecting all discs and load them all in one go.
  9. nice one warren. my seat only squeeks when it is in the lowest reclined position. because im 6'3'' i have the seat fully lowered and all the way foward/down to give the seat its lowest position. Its only then that it will squeek!
  10. are you trying to change cd tracks/radio with the steering wheel buttons? more info needed,and pics
  11. nice one chris did that go under the drivers or pass side seat? this is no good for us guys with a reverse camera though-right?
  12. dude take your caps lock off...
  13. nah,not on purpose i was waiting for tightarse tuesday for discounts on the petrol!! The intank fuel filter should be able to handle it.-Last tiime i drained a fuel tank was years ago with my 83 prelude- after almost 20 years it had only a little bit of sediment in the tank...
  14. nice one skizo will fast also list optional extras fitted such as the silver door trim which protects the door when its opened onto a wall etc? how much did it end up costing from yahoo?ebay has a couple under $20 but they are older ones
  15. yeah i have the seat/console squuek too As its also coming from the left side of the seat i will isolate it and report what parts making the noise. Sounds like we all got the same problem!! wounder what the fairlady/350z are like with this?
  16. Can anyone can beat this?- just 4.6 litres left in the tank! I had the Japanese girl telling me to fill up asap as soon as i turned the car on!
  17. yeah it was better in the morning without the sun...this evening will be good too.
  18. Interesting design though-would it have been for aesthetics or wind resistance ? Love how they have recycled the security sticker from the skyline 350gt
  19. check out the door handle-this was the first i had seen of it.....very cool
  20. lol if i was him id be hiding
  21. want some more?here ya go check out those potenza re070r
  22. sure was,in sydney for one day (after melbourne motor show) will be there untill 7pm tonight
  23. lol,but unfortunatley for aussie skyline owners this is too true. Looks like Collins days could be numbered if he stuffs up this godzilla launch (very unlikely) 11 months-!! :laughing-smiley-014: something in their system is very,very wrong....the V spec version will be released by then,and all the grey importers+'fringe dwellers' will be one up again!
