Hey Guys

Just had a set of Vertini Mclaren black lip 20s fitted to my stock V35 now i need to decide to drop it like its hot or not. Tell me what u think

Cue Cobey....

Im sure cobey will chime in here, he has 20s and SLAMMED! Looks great !

yup lower it. A 350z spring/shocks setup will drop you around 30mm which will give you a good stance and can either be cheap or exy depending on the components you use.

The 350Z nismo suspension is another option for a little more than a cheap springs/shocks setup.

Coilovers will get you "slammed" but will not be cheap to do it properly

DROP IT!

You will never regret it when you get thumbs up everywhere you go... and I've never been pulled over for ride height....

I'm currently at last measure stilling at 77mm at the lowest point.

BC coilovers are a great investment... drop or raise at your desire!

I'm with this guy, even though he's kinda gay ;)

Although when it's slammed and you want to go to the shops with massive speed bumps, you kinda wish your car was 4x4 spec lol

Or just be like me and avoid going to the shops altogether haha

Y not the GTR kit, i love the look of the front bar

because there are Gt-Rs out there.

I guess it's all about personal opinion.

But some people on other skyline forum seems to laugh at the body kit. Because they believe that whoever buys the GT-R kit is a GT-R wannabe...

No personal offence, just sharing what's on other forums.

The front bumper is more aggressive though :)

Yeh im not getting it cauz i want a GTR (well who doesnt want a GTR but anyways) i just love the style of the mesh grills in the front and rear bar im not going to badge it as a GTR if i do get one, but im looking at all these pics and the paint matching is making want to cry i have seen some horrific paint jobs and its making think i should keep it stock lower it and turn it into a sleeper. If i was to put a turbo kit in it later on what sort of suspension should i be looking at to be able to cope with the increase of power?

I guess it's just different people have different opinions.

To tell the truth, I also thought of putting on this GT-R styled body kit before too. But after more research, I opted to go with a clean look that is not too expensive and keep the stock look of the V35 coupe. :)

Honestly i think every v35 owner goes through this once they get their ride. As you did, we do a bit of research and come across the hoards of tolls saying how ricer it is and get turned off ><. Also its expensive + the car is my daily which was the main turn off for me.

In Australia i think it is extremely unique to have the gtr or the aston martin body kit and you will always get compliments from everyone. Its those few car enthusiasts who think anything modified is ricer and if they dont approve of it then its shit.

whatever kit u decide on, lower the car first. last thing you wanna have is a kitted car with off-roader style wheel gap.

be prepared to sacrifice going to places with high speed bumps, steep inclines and mates houses with big curbs. i'm just mildly lowered (1.25 inches) and the front bumper and diff protector skid plate scrapes on most ramps.

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
