Smash Repair / Spray Painter In Sydney
JustinVu replied to JustinVu's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Hmm...I live in Rhodes so I prefer somewhere close to the west / south west. Any1 has experience with those I listed ??? Or mayb some suggestions....highly appreciated -
So yes, i've got my kit and they terribly fit. Right now im in middle of returning back to seller and will therefore need a panel beater / smash repair in Sydney (prefer West or South West) for a FULL RESPRAY. perhaps I will leave my roof untouched since I'll be wrapping it with gloss black vinyl anyway. Do you have any recommendation ? What should I be looking at for a full respray of 3-layer pearl white QX1 ?? Should I be as well change it to Lexus Pearl White or keep it simple as Ivory Pearl White ? I have had quotes ranging from like 2k to 6k. I've heard about Exclusive in Smithfiled, Smashtech or MADHATTER. Anyone has experience with these or any other suggestion ???

Help On Driving/fog Bulb Replacement
JustinVu replied to JustinVu's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
mate, i run a coupe , 04 model (not sure if that makes the difference) but i have "driving lights" and "high beam" in the same bulb. because i can turn on driving lights and flash, i can tell the height changing so definitely that must be a dual filament type ...not sure other models though -

Just a small update on my newly added front lip (polyurathen) and carbon fibre grill . painting was really bad on the lip so i decided to repaint it (it didnt pop out much glittering of the metallic pearl white). Yet since i've purchased full kit (pretty much all products in sale line of Meguiar's) and detailed the car (costs me few hours), not a bad idea to share how good these cleaning products were -
I have one just came off my front end, but im not gonna sell it...hehe, dun know y but i guess its same like i never sell any uni textbooks, kinda wanna keep 'em all. well, guess i should share my front end for u Sean ^^

Help On Driving/fog Bulb Replacement
JustinVu replied to JustinVu's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
on the headlights it says D2R, HB2. so i assume it will be D2r for low beam and HB2 for high beam. but HB2 is designated for H4 .... very confused, especially when it comes to H4 bulb type @_@ -
Hi guys Would appreciate any help to replace my driving fog lights / high beam. Well im intending to put HID on both high beam and low beam. I know for sure that Low beam uses D2R and high beam uses H4 (dual filament for fog light as well). well my question is there are 4 types of H4, H4-1,2,3,4. which one should be picked for our cars ? Im pretty sure it wont be H4-4 coz the current bulb doesnt seem to be a twin bulb type, and it should not be h4-1 either. Regardless, im pretty confused and deseprately needs u guys to help T_T

JustinVu replied to JustinVu's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
soz for making a misunderstanding, i purchased the intake myself, brought it there and get help installed. Just checked the receipt and it says $200 royall purple engine oil, $132 each for transmission fluids and brake fluids, $60 to install intake and few small stuff. so yea, didnt get a chance to get my car checked thoroughly. I will come to him soon to see how he responses ...anyway, thanks so much NightCrawler (^_^) -

and O2 sensor is different with MAF sensor I believe rite ? MAF sensor i quikly ebay check and found few used parts for < $100, or brand new <$200, but O2 sensors, there are 4 it says, 2 at front 2 at rear, and costed near $400 like u said for a set ...which will once again rip my recovering wallet apart. another question is that My air con doesnt always reflect the temprature very well, sometimes 24 is warm but sometimes its cool. each time i notice, i tried to lower down but usually they do no reflect changes very quikly, or not at all (for small change, such as 24 down to 23). any thought, nitecrawler -

the reason I didnt complain was because actually after being serviced, the car was much more responsive, drives smooth and newly installed air intake gave me a roaring factor, which is very exciting. but yea, service took me about 1.5 hours as I watched from A->Z, but absolutely no under car testing, no driving out, no brake check or any other check. the fluids they use was royal purple. I mean they spoke with honesty and didnt seem to be a rip off deal. and he got great reputation all around sydney, none of customer saying bad thing at all . so yea, im so stuffed up -

I went to IS Motorracing to do my 1st car service after purchase, costed me $600 only for fluids, Indy - the owner didnt even lift the car up, nor did he drive it out to test, to tyre pressure check no any other check, so i was quite surprised yet convinced by his statement that my car is absolutely fine. I mean i replaced the air intake which it should thereotically improve the fuel economy (provided by normal driving) yet i still found this kinda fuel consumption is awful . if really air sensor is the problem then im screwed -

+) so what does performance spark plugs do? which area does it improve ? +) For the record, I filled up full tank, refilled again after doing 150km and it costed me 23l, so yea works out to be about 15l per 100km. I live in Parramatta and travel often to city, so i would call it city driving rite? Im not grounding the pedal very often by the way, this is kinda frustrating, provide I fill V Power 98 all the times Y_Y -

time for questions. Please help 1) I'd like to change the HID kit, not too sure if there is an aftermarket HID already or not , but apparently the bulb shoots out 6000k white I believe. Anyhow, anyone can recommend a good brand on D2R HID kit, local or international, i dun really mind. Beside, should I choose 35w or 55w coz I heard 55w is 30% brighter, but it could fry my wiring if wasnt installed properly. I myself like the idea of 8000k 55w, coz its brighter but no blue tint like the 8000k 35w. 2) With bumper material, I know FRP is the same as fiberglass, so really i only have polyurethane or abs (which is extremely rare to find) ? 3) is that right that bulb replacement for rear tailight requires me to unplug the entire light outs of its house ? I attempted but seemed quite hard (I dun have any tool kit ) 4) I will soon change my tyre/wheel set (up until the tyres wear out), so please gimme some sort of suggestions. here is what i like Im a bit confused whether i should go for 18 or 19, Indy from ISMotor racing suggested me to go 18", but i like the PIMP look of 19". also how to choose the offset ? What i want is a normal-looking at the front, and deep dish at the back, like many other RWD street-racer. also does 19" means more petrol consumed and since they are heavier, they'll make the car slower ? 5) Im currently running Potenza at the front and Yokohama S-Sport at the back (that's how i got the car). So im quite worried once i have to change the tyres, its like 400$ for a rubber, that's literally ripping my wallet apart. Well honestly I have nothing to complain about the quality of the rubber im currently running but yea, any where i can get these kinds of wheel for a minimal price ? 6) do performance spark plugs (such as Bosch or NGK) improve the car performance a lot ? 7) Im driving quite normal at most of the times, but fuel consumption is round 14 15 per 100km, is that normal ... 8) Any other suggestions to improve the look/performance without spending a massive amount of $$ ?
