Been running Ohlins DFV since 2010 and they haven't skipped a beat. The ride is pretty smooth, currently set on soft for daily driving.

fwiw. After 150k km's and two track days early on, my Nizmo pads are close to needing replacement. I cant fault the longevity or performance and the dusting is quite reasonably low. Rotors have faired well too. If I can find them (poss Nengun) I'll definitely use them again no hesitation.

I'm starting to wonder the same

Yes, iirc they only had the SMF with lightened flywheel option available from their supplier. I must add that the exhaust note has changed which may be coincidence, It's deeper and louder which is a good thing

I had mine replaced dec 2014 by C-red. They installed the SMF option and the chatter is quite noticeable. With the reduction in rotating mass I have noticed little improvement on acceleration. In-fact the car feels quite the opposite, almost like there is drag in the driveline. If you ride the clutch in a certain position the car shudders. I'm sure my off-the-line acceleration was better with the stock clutch (prior to wear).

Ditto, my 2003 came into the country in 2008 with 19,000klm on the clock. Had log book and Jap auction papers to match. Also the interior/exterior condition of the car matched. Having said this, no one takes into consideration the time the car is spent actually running. The Japanese drive short distances but spend a long time doing so.............think about it. Imports should really have timers not speedometers

You should have someone over there that can recal the speedo. Over here we have AISAT, they may be in SA as well.

Oh I forgot about you, my apologies CR

Onlt thing I could find: http://www.mp3car.com/mp3car-infill-g4-double-din-car-computer/99741-mp3car-infill-g4-install-in-a-2003-infiniti-g35.html or Riverside Infinity. Also try the G35 Driver forums, you might get lucky.

Switched to Nitto Invo (285/30/20) on the rear after going thru a set of Yokohama Advan Sport V103. The Nitto cost me $350ea from Taleb (sponsor) and are quite comparable for grip and are a little quiter. The yokohama are a slightly better handling tyre all round but are twice the price so my choice is Nitto.

Yeah Boost.............Ask for the Banana Smoothie. That'll do the trick

I did a S**t load of research on the subject a couple of years ago. Found good threads on G35driver Out of it the opinion is Aragosta, Ohlins, Bilstein, KW, Tein in that order for quality of the above mentioned manufacturers As for ideal setup & spring rates for Australian roads the Bilstein P9 & 10 were best suited. I went for the Ohlins as I don't want to be replacing parts or rebuilding them in 12mths and I got a good deal BC's don't get much of a mention FWIW quoted from G35Driver: KBee Coilover: KBee Style: OEM Spring Rate: 12K/12K (Swift Springs) Drop potential: Frame Banger Adjustability: Height is as easy as any coilover. Dampening for the front is easy, The rear needs to be off the car. Stiffness: Ridiculous on full still. Pretty comfortable on full soft. Harshness: You can feel the road beneath you, but you don't hate it. Price point: These are extremely rare JDM coilovers. They are only available in Japan. @$1200 US

I think by cheating they were implying the car is force fed by being turbo charged like earlier Skylines, we all know it's not.

maybe try one of the forum sponsors on G35Driver.

For example, If your amp is rated for 600w at 2Ohm then your 4Ohm sub will see only 300w. If you connect a 2Ohm sub you'll get the full 600 watts. If you connect two 2 ohm subs in parrallel (1 Ohm) you'll get 1200 watts provided the amp will load down that low. If you load down the amp below it's lowest rating it will just go into protection and shut down. Do this continueously and it'll go POP.

2 x 12's in the boot is very do-able as my car will testify. This option maintains use of the bootspace. http://www.mobileele..._mosoto__st__30

no, but I doubt non-brembo would fit brembo so would be a specific order. http://www.maltech.com.au/ultimatebrakehoses.html

For sydney siders I recommend FHRX http://www.fastfoursforumscarclub.com/temp/fhrxstudios/index.asp Marty would be one of the best in the car audio industry.

Nissan Juke R is going into limited production run. Now that would be much more fun http://www.caradvice.com.au/154869/nissan-juke-r-official-specifications-revealed/

I've got the Tommy Kaira hebi bebi popular with the Z crowd. Shortens the shaft height because it mounts low on the stick if that's what you're after, probably not the choice for drifters tho The low mounting height feels like it shortens the gate but due to it's 515 gram weight it maintains if not improves shifting effort.

Brembo or non-Brembo pads?

I guess that's a matter of opinion as I find 245's stretched onto a 10.5 rim a bit , Just a little too ricer for me.............. To the OP. What ever your preference, choose your offset according to the width of the tyre, A stretched look is going to obtain a more aggressive offset. Camber will also play a role if that floats your boat, just remember that rediculous camber is only going to shorten the life of your tyres. Fine for the track, not the street.

Some one needs to develop the soft closing hinges like they have on cabinet doors. You know the ones where it doesn't matter how hard you try slam the door/drawer it always stops an inch before closed and continues the rest of the distance slowly & softly.

Pioneer DEX-P99RS which gives me ipod/iphone connectivity + I have a 160gig hard drive connected to it for my music library. Very rarely use the CD but there are plenty of ipod control head units on the market, just depends on your budget. The factory Radio & AC controls are integrated on the one PCB so to go aftermarket you will need to mod the fascia and find a separate A/C control module like the one below: Or buy the double din unit with controls like Howa mentioned: eg: http://www.mynismo.c...oducts/?id=4343

where abouts are you http://www.carmenimports.com/cms/personal-imports Although I ended up purchasing locally, I had found these guys very helpfull.
