I've spoken a fair bit to Gavin Woods, only thing is he doesn't own his own Dyno. Which isn't really an issue. Just had a lot of people pushing me towards Matt, worked out okay. I think once you get to know him he's cool. We were working on my car from 5PM until 9:30PM that night and he wasn't complaining that i was keeping him late or anything. He gave me a really good price too because the first 3 hours of being on the dyno I was 80% of the time dealing with the guy in UK / waiting for email replies. Yeah, i'll edit it to Coilovers, Sway bars aswell i guess in the future (They're pretty cheap aye?) I believe the tyres are Accelera, 245 and 275. Needed something fairly cheap for now. 600HP is HUGE. You'll need to do a lot to keep the car running if you do plan on running it for a little bit at that HP. Even at 450HP i can see some issues arrising, but only time will tell. I'm assuming you car is a 6/MT?

Installation was so simple. All you have to do is get your OBDII plug out, change a wire around, plug the supplied sipher cable from your OBDII to a USB on a laptop, turn the car to ON. Load the Flash file and you're done. The first load takes around 2 minutes to load up. After that its approximately 10 seconds per reflash. The Shockwave TDX2 exhaust is an amazing piece of performance part. Its quiet when you're on the highway but when you put your foot down you don't want any police to be in a 1KM radius. I've been told from everyone who's driven behind me when i put my foot down i sound like a race car. So i guess thats a good thing?

Hey Guys, I've finally finished my V35's performance build. I know a lot of you are going to skip to the Dyno plot but i figured i'd write some things up anyway. My car is a 2004 5/AT 70th Anniversary Premium Edition V35. I imported my car from Japan and got it complied at the start of July. Since ordering the car I came up with a large list and starting buying all the parts i required, most of which were installed before the car was registered in Australia. The Journey Stock in Japan The Car was purchased from Japan on May 21st. Arrived in Australia The Car arrived in Australian waters on June 24th. Stock Dyno Run The Stock Dyno run was done before any performance parts were added to the car to get a starting Baseline. Keep in mind the run was done in 3rd Gear and from my understanding (Reading G35driver) the better gear is 4th. Added Window Tint Got the window tint to match the stock back windows of the V35. Added Double Din Head Unit Added a Kenwood 7inch double din unit. Added Z-Tube & JWT Pop Charger Purchased from the US. The Z-tube is the OEM stock tube from the 350Z and the JWT Pop Charger was something I debated about getting and finally chose it over the K&N Drop in Filter. Added Plenum Spacer Purchased from Motordyne Engineering in the US. The 5/16" Plenum spacer was a must have for performance gains. Added Exhaust Purchased from Motordyne Engineering in the US this was a 'must have' mod for me. The Shockwave TDX2)) coupled with the ART Tuning pipes also purchased from Motordyne Engineering to make an amazing sound and nice performance. The exhaust A) Looks Sexy and B) has no drone which makes it amazing on the highway. Added Crank Pully I purchased my lightweight Underdrive Crank Pully from Unorthodox Racing in the US. Added TransGo Shift Kit The shift kit was one of my 'for fun' mods. Definitely recommend it to anyone with an Auto. The car feels like it accelerates so much harder and the shifts are lightning fast and chirp the wheels when you're flat footed. Driving the car normally you wouldn't even know the kit was there. Added Tune The Car was tuned thanks to UpRev in America. A lot of hype surrounds the UpRev Osiris tune for the G35 so I decided to invest in it after looking into other avenues (Piggy back ECU's etc). I ended up purchasing the Standard Pacakage for $500 USD. After having communication issues with a great company in the UK that e-tuned my car with UpRev Osiris I decided, while on the Dyno, to upgrade my UpRev account to include the Tuning package (an extra $200) and I letMatt Spry from PITS on the Gold Coast take over. It was his first V35 UpRev Tune but he found it to be super easy and was able to get 10WHP more than the e-tune package from the UK. Final Performance Dyno The Final Dyno shows: A )The Stock Reading shown above (Pink) Average of 201HP consistently, highest of 203. B) The Reading after the parts were installed and the very first Flash was sent to me from the UK.(Green) C) The final reading after Matty Spry got his hands on the Tuner Kit.(Red) Again these were all 3rd gear pulls and from my research 4th gear would be the best gear for a 5 AT. These figures aren't necessarily the highest WHP my car can do, but more so showing the gains. Added 20 inch Wheels These Wheels, Vertini Fairlady, were added today (02/08/2011) now that the Dyno runs are complete. Will invest in lowering the car at a future date. Already Purchased Very Popular combo in the US. All Purchased and on a ship here as we speak. KurumaZ Front bumper ChargeSpeed Rear Bumper Impul Side Skirts Future Mods Lowering the car (Possibly 350z Springs) Big Brake Kit (OEM Kit from the 370z) Painting Roof Black. If you're looking for any information on a product hit me up, i'd be happy to help you out. Matt Spry is also now looking into doing more UpRev tunes. I believe hes also looking into becoming Australia's first listed UpRev Osiris Tuner. Let me know what you think.

I like my Bose system, does what i need it to. Keep in mind (From what i can see) the V35 has 4x 6 inchers, 2 with tweeters (Front and mid), and 2x 6x9's at the back. (might be wrong about this). I also use a 7" touch screen Double Din system with built in blutooth etc. Really happy with the system in general. My previous car had a full aftermarket Pioneer system and this blows it away. Bose make the speakers for the car so all the harmonics are as close to perfect as you could like.

I have the full stock exhaust, how much are you wanting to pay for it? Keep in mind shipping might be a bit tricky too (Gold Coast -> Perth)

Nah, i actually work at Australian Outback Spectacular - the big building next to it. All part of the Warner Villiage Theme Parks though, along with Wet and Wild, Movie World, Sea World and Paradise Country. Yeah, the bodykit is super popular in the states because it looks hot. Will be rare in Aus though no doubt. Can't wait to have it done. Also getting black headlights with LED's and Halo's. Will also paint my roof black to go along with the black 20's im getting next week once im finished Dyno'ing and tuning.

All the performance parts aren't plans They were all done in the first month of having the car, most of which were before it was even registered and had even been complied. The bodykit is already paid for an is currently on a ship to Aus from the US, looking forward to installing that. You said yours is the 2004 model aswell, does this means its the 70th Anniversary edition like mine? Full leather / heated seats / Dual Climate control / Front lip / Sun Roof / white indicators / came with 18inch stock wheels / etc. I actually work for Warner Village as my second job every now and again, worked fulltime there while i was at uni. Its a nice place, get free tickets into all the parks

I live on the Gold Coast and own a Pearl White 2004 V35 aswell. I'd be interested in joining the V-series community aswell as i just got my car a month back.

http://www.f1wheelandtyre.com.au on the GC. Also got a quote from http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/ very good prices from both.

I've just ordered a pair of Vertini Fairlady 20's for my V35. This is what they look like on a 370z, assuming they'll look equally as good on my white V35 A lot of people don't like them - but i dont think it matters, as long as you like what you've got then its all good

I just recently installed a exhaust i imported from the USA. A little more on the expensive but oh my god so worth it. http://www.motordyne...4205a029f5c97d5 I got the Advanced Resonate Tuning Pipes installed aswell as the Shockwave)) TDX2. A youtube example of this combo can be found here: (Black Car, Skip to 1:30) - Not my car btwThe exhaust combo has 0 drone from what i can hear, and when you put your foot down - people will know. Its possibly one of the loudest exhausts i've heard on a street car, and yet so quiet when you want it to be. This is a picture of the exhaust on my car.. Don't mind the dirt under the car

I just assumed it was the Neutral position, but i suppose you could leave the switch on mirrors out when driving aswell?

Not a problem, Just keep in mind that anything over $1000 in one package (or Invoice for that matter) you'll have to pay GST on. Also - hire a carrier when importing. I just attempted to do the whole importing myself thing by getting my parts from Motordyne Enengeering flown to Brisbane airport and it was a giant headache. Took nearly two weeks for all the paperwork to be done and clearled and around 5 trips to Customs in Brisbane from the Gold Coast.

I just bought a new exhaust from the US. Shockwave TDX2, Also got ART Pipes. http://www.motordyneengineering.com/ aswell as this i bought a Plenum spacer from the same company. (US Based) I bought a Z-tube with a JWT Pod FIlter aswell off Ebay. (US) Unorathdox racing Crank Pully off ebay. (US) and a TransGo Shift kit from http://www.summitracing.com/. (US) Also purchased a full body kit from the US aswell via http://strafeautomotive.com/
