I'm still keen, even though I don't own a V35.

Also, anyone in Sydney interested in going to the JDM Style Tuning meet? Should be pretty big (its just a meet and greet, no actual driving) but since I don't think there's ever been a V35 at a meet for a forum for all types of JDM cars I can only imagine how much attention your cars will get.

Thread resurrection.

I've posted an EOI, on 350Z-Tech, for the next cruise. Was thinking mid next month, to give people plenty of advanced warning.

If you guys have any suggestions, I wouldn't mind seeing them either. The pace will not be overly frenetic, but it will be on driver's roads and not just from one carpark in suburbia though the metropolitan area to another carpark in another suburb.

Very keen as well. in the middle of building a house which eats up most weekends, but unless it's something urgent I'll be there.

As for routes, haven't done any in a long long time so I'm up for anything. Bells is great so happy to do that.

Also, anyone interested in a Wakefield private track day for Nissan FM platform cars?

The guys on Tech are raring to go, and it'd be interesting to see the difference between the two cars.

Definately interetsed, but i don't think my auto would be a good groud for comparison :-)

It will be spanked all over the track. Some of the times you guys are posting on tech are damn quick.

My best lap in my V35 is 1:20:xx.

Hopefully I'll get to whack in a second oil cooler for the tranny which will give me a bit more confidence.

Quite a few of those guys have gotten pretty "serious" about track work, and the Z33 has traditionally been more of the sports car than the GT-oriented Skyline. The fact that the Z's been in Australia since 2003 means people have had far more time to set them up too.

But, its about having fun. I was thinking about not running timing so people could just go out and enjoy themselves, but I get the feeling people will still want to know how fast they're going.

The problem with not running it early is that you hit traffic. If I was going to cruise through the metropolitan area only then yeah, I'd run it a lot later. But with the roads we're taking, I'm trying to avoid as many tourists as possible.

I will probably arrange a shorter-length, lunch-oriented, cruise as well in the near future. So maybe a 10:00 start, and with a plan to be at the destination by midday. If someone on here arranges it and is happy to have the "other" FM platform car tag along, then I'll let the Tech guys know and I'm sure they'll be up for it.

Thanks Alan:

No offence, I just felt sad as I am not able to attend, the meet point is too far away from my place.

I had drive to Mt Vicotria with my V35 last month, just a weekend to ZigZag, Had to say that is a realy good drive.

The only problem is the surface of road is poor and so much road noise drive me crazy.

BTW, there is an outstand ITALY resturant on the way with sign: "Wooden oven pizza" or something, stronger recommanded for lunch really nice

Thanks mate. I'll go look for it when I recce run, either tomorrow morning or Monday morning.

The guys have been raring at the bit to go out for a spirited drive, hence the time. I might arrange something a bit gentler and thus a bit later in the day, especially now that we're heading into summer and people might want to do lunch up (or down) the coast.

Arrange a V35 meet, and invite us ;)

I recce ran it yesterday. The open, flowing nature of the roads really suits our cars. Its something you can leave in top gear and effortlessly "waft" on the midrange. Yeah, the surface wasn't ideal though.....and it wasn't much better going to Oberon.

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
