Hey guys,

Have added a couple of bits to the car. Took some photos with the iPhone, so excuse the quality of the pics:

• CF Rear Diffuser

• US Battery Cover (to cover the right side of our engine bay)

• CF Hood Hampers

• Eyelids

The USA G35 forums say that the cheapest version on Ebay is a POS, but the more expensive one is rather good fitment and look. From memory the cheap one is around US$200 + shipping and the god one is US$400 + shipping.

Thought I'd post a pic of my V with new shoes.

I know.. it needs a drop to complete the set-up but I have the same problem as some of you here. I don't want to scrape off the front lip :)

^^^ looks great .... what are the width and offset of your wheels?

thanks for the comments.

19 x 9 +22 (F) on 245/35R19

19 x 10 +22 ® on 275/35R19

no rubbing but then again i haven't dropped it and i travel light. read somewhere here that the max width at the rears to avoid rubbing was 9.5" at +22 but the extra rim depth was too tempting.

Thanks for the info. I bought my LMGT4s in 9.5 +20 and the fronts are perfect but the offset on the rear is sadly lacking. Once I lowered the car it severely cambered in (and looked very shite), so I got some SPC rear camber arms, and the alignment workshop brought the camber from 4 degrees back to about 1.5 degrees. Looks a bit better now, but I definitely agree with your 10 +22s on the rear - I am going to buy a pair of 9.5 +12 or 10 +15s for the rear of my car to make it look better. In fact I am going to try some 20mm bolt-ons for a car show this weekend, so we will see how she runs with 9.5 +0 :wacko: - I will post pics next week. Note too I am running a stretched 215 on the front and 235 on the rear (I like the drift look), so will get no rubbing.

Nice wheels :wacko:

My 9.5 +18 rears, wearing 275 wide tyres, were VERY close to scrubbing. In fact one of them was scrubbing until i had the camber adjusted (using the factory camber bolt).

I've since had my guards rolled and dropped the car even lower. I'm now suffering the same problem as nightcrawler. It has caused additional camber and the wheels tuck-in too much, looking much crapper than before.

My plan of attack is to eventually fit some spacers and slightly stretched tyres (245 maybe). Night crawler, if you could throw up some pictures of your setup with 20mm spacers, it would be really appreciated.

Just get your guards rolled to deal with the scrubbing. Sydney guard rolling came out and did mine and got 12mm out of them with no paint cracking! and im running a 10.5 +0 in the rear, but it all depends how low you want to go.

no prob. your set up looks great judging from the track pics you posted and the wheels look hot. front is perfect already and putting on the spacers at the rear should bring it out to match it. looking forward to the pics.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
