ohh all available from the yahoo auctions in japan, just used Import Monster.

i still need a front strut brace to finish it off.

and i think ill go nolathane bushing everywhere

You may want to look at a V35 one then as the M35 strut brace will not fit with the 19mm runner spacer in there mate.

I dunno if the V35 braces will actually fit, but I suppose you have more chance as the top of the engine sits higher in a V than ours do.

problem is is that even if you have a strutt brace to fit above the plenum with the runner space how do you get it to fit between the bonnet and the plenum!

Oh that's right....you need another type of bonnetninja.gif

lol... subtle like a jackhammer as always mate.

or get a PM35 bonnet modified (it has at least another 20mm clearance over the NM35 bonnet)

is there a way of customer fabricating one? ie Whiteline??

I spoke to Whiteline about this, and Wayne basically said because it's a labour intensive component to produce, it would need to sell in fairly large numbers to be worthwhile. So, at this stage, most likely not.

I want to find out whether they do one for the 350z, if they do I want to source the strut tower mounts and do some clearance testing to see if we can manufacture a bar to fit our bay, using their mounts.

Might save some time, and they might be interested.

hey daleo did u but the bcs with the off the shelf spring rate as i was thinking you can ask suppliers to give you diiferent spring rates.

So if i have the cash i would buy tein super flex wagon but ask them for a different spring rate to soften them up , but if the bc were off the shelf standard spring rate ill just go for those and use the rest of the money for

my sway bars , links , mount brackets

Yeah sorry, as Iain said I'm running with the damping 3 clicks in from full soft, there's 30 clicks of adjustment and you can feel a difference with just one click.

I reckon the rates are spot on for a regularly driven car, your roads are much the same as ours anyway, and if you need a bit more, you can always wind in a bit more damping.

The swaybars & links just make a nice package even sweeter.:thumbsup:

Bonnets differ ?????

yes....they are different in a couple of different way's.

But in a dark alley near one of the corner's of middle earth and bellow the surface the is a man of which only two people have ever seen.....this man holds the secret to cooler under bonnet temp's and room for a strutt brace with a plenum spacer!blush.gif

onto other new's....Dale is Whiteline interested in doing springs? I have some special ones on there way!

OX Motor sports have strut/tower bar for a VQ25DET but it appears you need to move some items by the looks of the pics

Bonnets differ ?????

Considerably.

The Series 2 M35's (PM35/PNM35) need a bonnet with more clearance because of the VQ35de they use whereas the VQ25/VQ30 used in the series 1 M35's (M35/NM35) sit a lot lower.

Also, the PM35 grill is narrower and the headlights larger so the "tabs" on the front of the bonnet are in a different spot (I found this out the hard way)

Has he created a mould yet? Started testing?

OX strut brace won't fit if you have a runner spacer... nor will any of the other VQ25det designed strut braces for that matter

I'll be talking to Wayne later this week, and I'm going to hit him up about springs, etc. So I'll let you know. What's so special about your springs, eh?

I spotted some Dolphin springs on YAJ at one point, perhaps he snagged them; dunno if they're specifically 'special' mind you :)

so do the PM35 bonnets have a more aggresive higher look to them

are they not able to sit onto the NM35 as the MN35 is the only turbo late model stag

and whats this is someone making some aftermarket bonnets ??

if so very keen

Edited by Sidius

PM35 will bolt straight onto an NM35 (I have done it), but you will either need to cut and re-weld the abs at the front as they are closer together than the NM35 ones, or buy PM35 headlights, grill and front bar (as I did).

Yes, the PM35 bonnet is higher in between the creases. I think it looks much better from the driver seat (find myself looking at the "step" on the crease quite often for some reason).

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
