Righto guys need some opinions on which way to go here with the 32. Am in the stages of starting to replace all the bushes, ball joints etc. I am planning on doing the suspension also and am torn between 2 options. Option 1 is to buy new suspension struts off nissan (if still available) and put them in the car. Option 2 is to get some nismo s tune coilovers and fit them and also get some standard struts of nissan to keep in the cupboard (once again if available) just to have so I still have standard suspension. What do you guys think I should do?

I would go option 3 which is to get some bilstein struts on stock springs and also get some standard nissan shocks to store in the cupboard.

I now understand why people rave about Bilstein's because the MRs came from the factory with them.

I do have some spare struts for the Caldina stored away for when the stock TRD (kyb) ones die. Won't need to get spares for the MR because Bilstein's last forever.

My research indicates that the Nismo S tune's are really good but can be a tiny bit harsh for our roads. Wouldn't want a mid-corner bump to unsettle the car now would we?

Who's doing the replacement of said bushes and the wheel alignment for you?

Umm im not from Toowoomba but I do live close by, I also have a friend with a v35 that lives close too so we may be interested in getting to know a few locals as such.

Black V35?

If so, it looks horn.

I really think it's time 'certain people' organised something for both the old heads and to welcome the multitude of new people that have popped up in this thread.

I'm new here myself so would love to tag along :yes:

Thanks Guys.

No the V35 is black, And it has a billet grille that is rare in this country. (check out my garage for a better pic) not to mention the awesome sounds I installed into it for him.

Myself and Nato (v35 owner) are doing a run from Dalby up to the sunny coast (Lunch by the beach) through the range next sat morning if anybody is interested.

Don't think I can do a run up to the sunny coast just for lunch these days. Got plenty of things to do around the place. Have 'priorities' nowadays.

Stay single as long as you can and whatever you do, don't get kids until you're truly ready ;)

May be able to squeeze in something closer to home though.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.

      I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By Nightmare_mistress_R33 · Posted

      Tapin,    So got mine up and realize a few things. First was my slave line doesn’t reach the other side, so I have to get a longer hose made. I want to ask did you have to extend your wires for the CD009 sensors? One on the driver side(right side of car looking at the car from the rear) and one on the passenger side( the left side of car from rear). And do you know what those two sensors are respectively? I know it’s not Speedo since we talked on this already. And I may have to separate the trans again to swap out throw out bearing. We will see. Did you run your RB slave cylinder? I know you cracked your original but replaced it with a nismo. But wasn’t sure if you bought the one designed for the CD009 or not. Thanks

      There is X amount of load on a timing belt. Adding bigger duration cams and valve springs will certainly add some to that figure - but there is no way in creation that you need "300% stronger". There are plenty of big power RBs and JZs running stock belts. There have been more complaints about noise from Gates belts than there have been reports of stock belts dieing young.
