Melbourne V35s

[siu_loong_bao]

My wife is definitely staying at home....She's not into cars at all and will be bored...

I'll bring a SLR camera also...

[rs73]

my wife is 'grounded' at home anyway with the baby till at least another 2 weeks... (the asian 1 full moon confinement thing)

by the way I didn't call or make any reservation at garage cafe as I assume this is just a greet & meet at 2:30pm?

[siu_loong_bao]

Yeah, greet and meet...and to freeze our "balls" off....

Maybe the next meet, we can book at Garage Cafe...

There's many who have read this thread, but seems reluctant to come...This is a NOTE TO ALL, the more that come and meet, the more of a 'Force' we become and the more events can be arranged in future...

Rianto - you wife is Asian? Yes, I know the 1st month thingy ('cos I'm Asian too), the baby is supposed to be 1 yr old after the 1st month...

[rs73]

yeah, that's why I am 1 year older in my chinese / lunar year compared to my gregorian year...

although I can't still quite grasp 100% the concept since babies are average about 9 1/2 month in the belly plus 1 month since born that's not even 11 month, but considered 1 year old according to lunar calendar... oh well but that's the way it is for over thousands of year since they come up with lunar calendar system... maybe it's like golf handicap thing, they get free 3 month handicap before even conceived LOL

Some pics:

By 2:40, there were 5 members....

By 3:00, there were the jolly 7!!!!

Pics are available in Hi-res upon request. Please also PM me your contact numbers and email addresses, so I can add you on MSN.

I was happy with the turnout, considering there wasn't many interest!!! Hopefully, the next V35 VIC Meet will be greater by number and at a place where we weren't freezing our balls off....

There was a general consensus to have a baking day...NO! Not the cooking/baking, but baking headlights to remove the orange blinkers...Once I perfect it on my sedan (when I get some more $$$ to order my new headlights), I'll get something arranged...

Stuff discussed included:

Do's and don'ts

What was worth modifying (grounding kit, CAI, bulbs, HID)

Bose Stereos & Compliancing

Ricer stuff....

Personally, I liked MILLOS's deep dish rims and pw350gt's CF paddle shifts....Very ricer!!!

Nelson.

More pics from my camera....

2nd pic was experimental with one of the camera features - colour accent... so only red is shown...

it was freaking cold out there, quite windy but good turn out... i'm sure there's lots more V35 owners to join in the future....

[siu_loong_bao]

Oh no!!! Our number plates are showing!!! We'll be hunted down!!! LOL....

[rs73]

Well we're not doing anything illegal so I can't be bothered blanking out number plates from photos these days...

unless the pics depicted a V35 burning rubber smoke.... who wants to have a go, hands up?

[rs73]

Unique things to highlight from our meet:

Only 1 car has original orange indicator (mine)

Only 1 car has rear windscreen wiper/rear camera (siu loong bao's)

Only 1 coupe has original 18" rim

Only 1 car has rear aero spoiler

Only 1 car has sunroof (V35Sky's)

Only 1 car has factory weather shield on the window (V35 300GT)

Only 1 pair of badgless bootlid (yeah, I'm running out of idea)

Added: Probably the best of them all... 1 40th Anniversary coupe with cream interior/full leather was "downgraded" to regular premium with half suede leather/black interior. Sorry to the owner but I just can't help it...

[funkymonkey]

ah crap, my neighbour has a silver 4 door V35, if I had seen this before I'd have told him to head up.

[rs73]

[whtbox]

[siu_loong_bao]

[edwin]

good to hear a good turn up at the vic v35 meet, wished i was there! maybe next time... just taken my car to the final inspection, will post some photos when i get it back monday!

congrats for showing our pride n joy.

[MILLOS]

Hey guys,

I had a great time meeting you all this afternoon, I think we had a magnificent turn out considering we only had 5 confirmed and 3 maybes.

The cars all looked great, it was good to meet you all.

I will attach some pictures of each of the cars that turned out, front and back of each of the seven cars, and one other!!!

Also discussed at the meet was the idea of doing a cruise next time, now that we have gotten the first meet and greet out of the way, we could probably be more comfortable with a cruise!!!

[siu_loong_bao]

oh!!! the silver is blinding my eyes....i've gone colour blind and can only see silver, silver, silver~~~!!!! LOL....

[-= SKiZO =-]

Woah Nelly, we are twins, haven't seen another Nismo kit in Aus yet. You have the full aero kit too. Nice.

What ever you do don't break the front bumper, trust me it is fricking expensive!

[rs73]

you know I saw a red coupe in CBD a couple of times, but looks like the owner is not on this forum....

[missV35]

Hi everyone,

I am just new to the skyline forums i finally joined the other night just after purchasing my V35

Wish i could have made it to the meet, but i had to be at work.

Hope there will be another meet some time soon

By the way you all have nice V35 skylines.

Bye.
