Hey Guys. Just a quick Hi.

New to the Importing Scene so im sorry but il be hoping to get a lot of help from all of you:-)

Just Got a 2003 V35GT 6 speed manual.

Picked it up through Ben at J-spec. Thanks mate.

Currently awaiting shipping which is on the 13th/12/08 departure Japan.

I live in Perth and the car is going to Brissy for compliance and then will be trucked over here to Perth. Just had some issues with the paper work for shipping so had a bit of a delay. Plus that why it is going to Brissy.

I was intrested to try and get the car's Tv sorted out i kow there has been a lot of discussion about what can and cant be done so ill first have a read before i ask anymore questions. But i know everyone hounds one user here for his services with the Audio so i guess ill have to join in:-P lol.

Anyway i think i uploaded the pics correctly. Would like any help from anyone regarding Suspension.

As i am currently looking into some 20' rims and as well some Coilovers.

Thanks all. Let me know what you gusy think. Ill post more pics up shortly.

Cheers Deano

Congrats buddy, looks great.

And yes, have a read through the V35 section as pretty all your questions should be answered somewhere in there.

Chris Rogers is definitely the man when it comes to the audio and Nav. He's based in Brisbane so may be worth while to get him to work on the car while its in compliance and save yourself some time.

You've probably already found it but in case you haven't check in my sig for the V35 section.

Cheers

These days it is $1,200 to $1,400 out of QLD for a good freight company but others do ship it with Kiwi at a total of $1,000 going on the last couple of cars but both have risk of damage.

Make sure the car is 100% plus when it is taken over the pats as due to a lot of ex East cars failing badly they are now as you would say "on a watch list".

Save yourself some cash.

Fly over to Bris, makes ure all is ok after complaince and ready to go. Jump in and drive straight down the side of Aus to Melb, then truck it to Perth. Much cheaper and you save about 5 days. Plus one hell of a way to get to know your new car.

Grab mate Day 1 Bris to Coffs Harbour. Take a nap, then Day 2 Coffs to Syd or even Canberra (P@rn is legal here). Then head down to Melb!!

transport from Bris to Perth is much less frequent than Melb to Perth

HAHAH i like all your ways of thinking:-) I would love to drive from Bir to Melb and get to know her a bit more:-) but just not feasible with my work can barely get holidays. I really hope everything goes ok with my car hey i couldnt bare to see any scratches on her:-(

But the plans for her as soon as she arrives is to put my 20" rims on before i go drivin:-) then drive her straing to the suspension shop to have the coilovers on then as low as she can go:-D....

Im hoping i can get Chris to have a play with her when she is over there in Brissy:-)

de-no,

if the car has been done by jspec then shogun will probably be the ones that do the car. if you can get the car to go to ISASO or Adrenaline motors then the whole process will be transparent as I'll pick it off as it goes through the system. if shogun do the car MAKE SURE they understand you want the car modded for AV and navi. this will happen AFTER compliance. if you want an alarm on it tell me.

do you have the chassis # of it (IE CPV35-000000) so I can add it to my list. ( I track cars by this as I often get 3-4 silver cars in a row and I get lost..)

my contact details are below.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
