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.

Mooseboy

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.

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • 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.
