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.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
