Well, different situations altogether, at the workshop the car is not under my control. If I blow the engine, fair enough, my bad....but if someone else does it and doesn't respond for it, not happy Juan!!! But I understand of course that you are putting your own car in their hands, and that they are going to TEST it by giving it all the car can take....so it's your choice. I assume though that this does not happen very often right? Otherwise not many people would risk it.

Hey n15smo, PM sent, thanks mate!

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has dyno tested their V35/M35 in Melbourne? What was the cost? Where did you take it? I would like to take mine before installing the plenum spacer and then again after to see the difference! I've also heard horror stories of people that have taken their car to dyno test, they blow the engine during the test and are not responsible for any damange, is this always the case?

Alright guys, based on that information and other information reviewed from earlier posts in the forum, I could easily fit the +22 offsets with 9.5" and 10.5" respectively without having any issues on the Coupe. So like Mark said, first thing is first, look for the width of rims first. But will definitely be in the region of 9-9.5" front and 10-10.5" rear. No lower than around +22 offset and not higher than +30, depending on what they can offer me. Looking at the moment for second hand Jap wheels, brand new are bloody expensive, Work SC1 or SC2. Or if not, just go to the tyre place and pick up a set of non-Japanese heavy wheels, but look nice, for now!!!

Great, thank you for that once again. I certainly don't want the wheels to stick out of the guards, it does not suit this car, plus it's my daily drive and I do not want to attract the attention of the police. So I think a more conservative offset of mid 20's to 30 should suit. I'm looking at getting 10" wide rims for the back and 9" for the front. I want to go more for the luxury look rather than the racey look. Although I would like it to look a little aggresive at the back. I love this forum, you can find so much information. The donation that I gave the forum has repaid itself back so many times over!!!

So there are conflicting recommendations on the forum, some say mid teens for offset is best, others say thirties is best....mmmmm Rianto, what does the offset do exactly? What is it? Thanks again!

aha, thanks Rianto.

Hey Eldubb, I'm looking at exactly the same issue too. So did you buy the 19" at 245/35f and 275/35r? Also for the guys that know, the offsets that are supposed to best suit the V35 are in the teens, i.e. +15. The guys at the tyre shop were offering me +30's offset, what is the difference? How will it affect the ride? In terms of rim, they have Work wheels, which are beautiful, but a little pricey of course. They also have Taiwanese made wheels, which look great, but a lot heavier and cheaper, what do you guys think?

Good stuff once again Rianto, Very cute baby! You must be a very proud dad.

Hey Mark, How much would they cost approximately?? I might be interested!!!

No man, back in Melbourne this morning!!!

Saw stock looking black couple parking on Lygon Street around 9:30pm tonight (Saturday).

Rianto, That's great man, congratulations. Well wishes to mum and baby!!!

Does anyone know what shifter knobs we can get to fit the V35??? Automatic.

Spotted black sedan with led spot lights (Audi style led driving lights) on Clayton Road heading towards Princes Highway today around 7:30pm. Also spotted silver sedan on Monash freeway heading towards the city at around 8pm with optional spot lights. Number plate was XQZEME or something similar. Sped up to catch up to it and drove next to it, but could not see inside as the windows were tinted, left the freeway on Bourke Road exit. Anyone from here?

Hey Siu loong bao, Congrats on picking up the car, although it seems there are a few issues with it, not happy!!! When would it be ready, registered, etc. Happy to have a cruise....I'm actually going on a cruise (the real one with the big ship on the ocean) next Wednesday and I'll be back on Sunday 12th of July. So anytime after that I'll be ok for a curise to meet other V35 owners!!!!

Cool thanks!!

Hey Rianto, Car looks fantastic. Great pictures. How much did they cost (if any), where did you get them taken? Looks great!!!

Hey Matt, Send mine together with Danny to his address, I'll pick it up from his place. I've already spoken to him about it. Let us know how much postage is. Cheers, Juan Pablo

Danny, Can send yours and mine together, I'll pick up from your place, no worries!!!

Arrgghhh pressed the add reply too quickly ....as I was saying, yes that is an option I didn't think of, if both you and the car are in Japan......although it'll still be in Japanese, so unless you learn your "turn left", "turn right", "500 meters", etc, etc then it'll still be hard to use it. Especially when you want to tell it where to go, where do you start??? LOL

LOL well yeah, that is a

The GPS, TV etc will be all in english. It is just another application on top of the original Japanese stuff. In the background (at the flick of a switch) is all the original Japanese stuff, which remains untouched. The cost will be a couple of thousands. The man you really want to speak to is Chris Rogers (that is his real name and his name in this forum, look him up) He is based in Brisbane but travels around Australia constantly working on these vehicles for all of us here in the forum. He will be able to give you all the technical specifics of how this will all work. Essentially, the car will have two GPS systems, one with Australian maps and in English, and one with Japanese maps and in Japanese, which you will never use.

Hey ezy03, Good on ya for reading the whole thing, we've all had to do it at some stage. To answer your question above: No one has really converted the Japanese to English really. The conversions that are spoken about are GPS, TV conversions done by Chris Rogers, which is simply installing an Australian GPS and Australian Digital TV Tuner to the car to run through the original screen. However all the options that come standard with the car are still in Japanese, i.e. the economy leave, the compass, the trip computer, etc, etc. Hope that helps, I know it is a lot of information to absorb in one go, reading all 21 pages, hahaha.

Great stuff!!!! Danny, nissan rules, how about coffee on Lygon street? Do a meet to pick up the indicators once they arrive, park the 3 V's on Lygon!!! Happy to have them delivered to my place if you guys want. I'm easy!
