it must be some dodgy tubes.... my bro juz fitted something like that on the jazz...even tho its dodgy but still made a jazz sound like a small beast! iam only 1 click away to pay the JWT on ebay now!! i cant really wait for the group buy....i juz click on pay it now.. lol, expecting shipping for 2weeks now~

dont put the key in...use ipod+good hifi for "stereo" for as long as you want and nothing to worry about battery too~

Guys, Repco have the Motul Oils on sales now~20% off until 17th May, pick some up while it last~ its almost the price for Mobil 1

+1 lets get more ppl for the group buy~

Yea, u got me , juz cant think of that word at the time for the posting~ BTW, used the 20% off at Repco today and grapped 3 of Motul 300V choro!!! woohoo~ Took from my iphone~ also....spotted a blue coupe on whitehouse rd/springvale rd as I was on the way to repco in Nunawading...saw two guy (not sure if they are the owner of the blue V) took all the 300v Choros from the shelf as there were 3 left...I only had one...didnt noticed it was only 4L after they took all, so ran to repco in ringwood to grapped the last 2 there, that two guy came too, but this time I was faster~

Organising RE001s to put on by next week, most of mech recommended RE001 as ER300 is "Touring" and RE001 is "Performance" tires~ I need some grippy foot~ , RE001 got much better rating on noise level and wet/dry grips than ER300

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin (RE001) from Donnellans at $230 each(on car price) other places quoted from $270~300 (some plus fitting cost)

Yea, that was the main concern when they says they dont know which part went wrong for making this sound. suspension specialist.. any recommendations?~ king spring?...they good?? heard they are really cheap stuff...as in dodgy but thx for all urs suggestions...yea, $650 for trial error isnt a good idea to spend rudd's $900~ prob taking for some workshop to have a look around. Any1 can recommend good suspension workshop in SE Melb or around city?

its depends on how u define 'expensive'~ i just got mine fitted with xforce Varex muffler...gotta say 'ITS AWESOME'. need to get my cam charge up for demo on youtube~ but still got some dodgy pipe work on it from mechie who never seem a V before, so i guess the sound still with-in the 'legal limit' (85dB?). Compare with the stock muffler it does sound much better, and the sound on 'close' is almost the same, prob just slightly, very slightly louder than stock~

+1 looks like we r too late for this now...when's the next one~? btw while I was waiting for the car getting service at Melb City Nissan this arvo, heard a call about someone need help for putting up spacer~ ? not sure if its for V tho, i am bad at ears dropping~

Hey guys, Just finish my first service for 70,000Km on the V at Melb city nissan. Told them about the weird sound on rear suspension when I reverse into my garage (up-hill). They are not sure which compenent went wrong, they lubricated to see if that make any difference, which did not... The quote from them to fix it $650, not sure if that's include labour... parts are the following: Gasket-rocker cover x2 Bush-rear stablizer x2 Rod-Connecting, Rear stablizer x2 Really have no idea what are these stuffs... Main question is....would the problem gets resolved if I try to put on/change coilovers? (bcoz look for some upgrade like TEIN, or S-Tech) If so, what is the best way to start for gather parts? Like springs, shocks, etc...or is there any good kits around? or any1 selling it~?

def not in doncaster...go there pretty much once or twice every week never seem it ever, not even price tag on the shelf. went to city autobarn, they got some champ stock, none on choro. the guy says he dont recommend 300v choro on a street car.....he suggested use 8100 instead, which is at the same price of $109 (OUCHY!!) just got car serviced at city nissan, cost half grand due to sterring oil, tires rotated...and stupid rear suspension...i just use their OEM 7.5w-30 for this time, wanna see the difference for next service i'll use the 300v (who care wat autobarn guy says, V owners' word are much more trustable!)

City Nissan~sounds okay for me since work in city. better call them in the morning....stupid Kamikaze quoted $220 + parts....(gotta bring my own oil and filter) gotta feel i might get ripped from KMZ...==' Geelong.....thats gonna burn all my weekend petrol quota for just getting car service. Where would be able to find some awesome workshop like this dont really mind to pay for the 300 Red Service to look after the babe~ if they use the MOTUL 300v which is highly recommended by most of V owners

Thanks for the confirmation~ BTW, the cost for thei K&N filter is $36 from repco, got quoted in autobarn for 38 or 40+ cant really remember and no stock in SE Melb they gotta order it. Repco can get it in within a day or two, autobarn cant get it until next week...

is the part numer HP-1008??? Correct me if i am wrong....because getting one in 2 days time for my first service~ Where to get this? I've been looking at autobarn, repco and supercheap auto none of them got this.....or prob I am blind

hmm...i am gonna give try on Kamikaze.....juz for minor service. any other recommendations? for SE Melb~

Hey guys, Saw this post about the interchangable part with 350z, ppl said exhaust is okay. Does only goes to coupe or with sedan aswell... If so, would the Y Pipe from 350z fit on a sedan? Also can you guys recommend some nice pipe? so far seen HiTech~

latest quote I've got so far....Bridgestone Adrenalin(as told by most ppl its the best~) from Donnellans at $230 each(on car price). Far the best quote compare with K-mart auto: 275, Bob Jane: 265, beaurepaires 260 (plus very bad attitudes)

i am temped with the MXV8 for $800~ read the review about Goodyear Excellence.....looks like the tires does have nice grip, but wear off too quick (some says 20000km, 30000km) i am running around for quotes for Bridgestone Adrenalin~everyone seem to loving it with the durability and performances~ so far getting 260, 265 on the 215/55/r17 - my current tire from dealer is Dunlop VE301......its shXX as....i was running on Eastern Freeway duringa wet night..i can feel my car is loosing grip when run over puddles...and skidded over runabouts.

I am currently at Auto Excess (VIC only dealership for xForce Varex)... they took out my Sedan muffler....its sounds the same when its mufflerless........ the guy says its got a large resonator pretty much cutted off the sounds.... he took it off from the cats, test the sounds......SOUNDS AWESOME!!! so I've decided to get a catback done instead of rear mufflers....... plus somehow the pipe are all rusted.....so 2nd reason to get new catback i'll post up some photo as its still in progress....for removing the huge mid-resonator and putting smaller resonator on keep in touch~ should get it done in few hrs

Very useful link~ Changed to a K&N panel air filter and car have very noticeable acceleration gain~ + 3 AutoB in SE Melb don't have stock, Repco has it and $14 cheaper than AutoB~)

still selling it?...cost for ship to Melb? any idea will it fit on the sedan??~

Thanks~that gave me some idea on which type of muffler i should look for

Hey Guys, Want to know for 350GT8 or juz normal sedan model....what is the size for exhaust? 2.5" or 3"? Since it much longer than 350z..and its sedan so the components is not shared with 350z? Any1 can refer good workshop in Melb eastern suburb for fitting new muffler (or plus new pipe works)~ Cheers,

also any idea how long will get it fit on the car?....and roughlly the price to get it done? does new pipes required? Any1 can refer caryard in Melb eastern suburb(Doncaster, Box Hill area) Cheers
