Cut out the front bumper and made a stainless steel bracket for the number plate that bolts in the factory position. Also rested on the eylids to see how they look before i get them painted pearl white.

Noticed a knock in the front end since i installed the superpro 33mm solid front sway bar. Inspected it today and noticed a gap of 6mm (3mm each side) between the fixed rib and the support bush. So i made up 2 dense rubber spacers to fill the gap and stop the knocking. While i was at it i regreased the rear whiteline sway bar bushes as there was excessive creaking from the rear end. Another day another thing fixed. Next will be the passenger side inner driveshaft boot.

This weekend efforts on the wagon

1. Fitted the front half of my Alcon brake upgrade.

2. Drove it to WSID and ran a 12.2 (a PB).

3. Split the heater core on the way home and turned my girlfriends shoes a lovely shade of glycol green.

Whilst vaccuming out the rear seat of the Stag over the weekend I was shocked to discover that under all the wrappers, leaves, stones, nuts, random bits of plastic, crayons and multitude of other crap that had built up over the past couple of years of being the famliy hauler...there is actually carpet back there. Who woulda thunk it. Somehow, it's still beige, and it's remarkably clean.

After waiting for a VSS from Nissan for 3 weeks this beast is back on the road. And it was nice to see the previous owner change all the fluids except the transfer case in 18 years. It was very brown to say the least. Felt good to drive it again.

1. Paddle shifter from V35 GT-8. Took of the leather wrap underneath is aluminium, I sanded it and polished. I can post a wiring diagram for anyone wants to do it.

2. Strutbar from Aliexpress.

3. Clock from a G35 through Ebay.

That looks way better then the after market setup. And price looks possibly better. How is the feel?

And yes show us your wiring diagram :)

No. That one on Ebay is for a later model V36-37, and its hard work to modify. V35 GT-8 look like this and its a direct fit. Just remove the steering wheel and line up the holes. You will also need the top and bottom steering shroud if you want to return your car back to way it was.

Any noticeable improvement over stock for the brace? Also price on the g35 strut brace?

Have a look at the front suspension, notice the strut isn't actually a part of the front end geometry or hub like the 33/34 skyline, it just provides downforce through the lower bush. Hence why the strutbrace makes no difference.

If you want to tighten the front end you need to brace the compression arm as Nissan did with the series 2 V35's (Dale's brace or OX motorsport), and use the Superpro poly compression bush.

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!ย  We are a pack of know it alls....ย  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!ย  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree! ย 
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
