My V35's Build With Before / After Dyno Runs.

[sheldon2369]

Wow damn $1435, is that including shipping? And grill you mean the mesh piece? Not a grill that replaces the oem one right? You getting poly or fb? Got any idea how long shipping takes? Sorry for all the questions as im looking at purchasing something similiar.

Thats including shipping to the California Port. lol. From Cali - Australia will be around $750 i think. Its the Mesh on the front bumper yeh. Not the Grill.

Its FB but i believe its a fairly strong FB Composite.

Shipping takes around 5 - 7 weeks. However once you order it also takes around 4 weeks for them to make the parts / ship them.

Nice, thanks for the info, just ordered, $2115 including shipping to Sydney, for:

• Kuruma Z w/ Mesh Poly
• Impul Sides Poly
• Chargespeed Rear w/ Carbon

Now i wanna order the Kuruma Z cf splitter lool! Damn thats like 3 months wait =[ , and we're going to look like twins, cos i got a white V35 also haha !

But yea, thanks again for the help! Appreciated.

Ps. Did you tell them to lower the price on the invoice so you wont get taxed?

[sheldon2369]

Haha. yay twins - along with thousands of americans. Haha.

nah - i didnt think that far ahead. lol

[aznice]

Yea true, but i havn't seen any Kuruma Z kits in Aus yet.

[sheldon2369]

And i'm finding out why too Not the easiest thing to import. Haha.

[T4NK]

You dont have to tell them to lower it, all you do is get them to do an invoice for each part but post it together as it is multiple orders not coming to over 1000 each you should avoid the tax that way i would think.

[Haxorz]

Great post! Thanks OP, very good detail and pics.

I wonder if the V36 path would be the same?

[R6n350GT]

You dont have to tell them to lower it, all you do is get them to do an invoice for each part but post it together as it is multiple orders not coming to over 1000 each you should avoid the tax that way i would think.

Nah even if you send seperate boxes under different names but to same address they can still combine them the ass holes

Hey Guys,

I've finally finished my V35's performance build.

I know a lot of you are going to skip to the Dyno plot but i figured i'd write some things up anyway.

My car is a 2004 5/AT 70th Anniversary Premium Edition V35. I imported my car from Japan and got it complied at the start of July. Since ordering the car I came up with a large list and starting buying all the parts i required, most of which were installed before the car was registered in Australia.

The Journey

Stock in Japan

The Car was purchased from Japan on May 21^st.

Arrived in Australia

The Car arrived in Australian waters on June 24^th.

Stock Dyno Run

The Stock Dyno run was done before any performance parts were added to the car to get a starting Baseline. Keep in mind the run was done in 3^rd Gear and from my understanding (Reading G35driver) the better gear is 4^th.

Added Window Tint

Got the window tint to match the stock back windows of the V35.

Added Double Din Head Unit

Added a Kenwood 7inch double din unit.

Added Z-Tube & JWT Pop Charger

Purchased from the US. The Z-tube is the OEM stock tube from the 350Z and the JWT Pop Charger was something I debated about getting and finally chose it over the K&N Drop in Filter.

Added Plenum Spacer

Purchased from Motordyne Engineering in the US. The 5/16" Plenum spacer was a must have for performance gains.

Added Exhaust

Purchased from Motordyne Engineering in the US this was a 'must have' mod for me. The Shockwave TDX2)) coupled with the ART Tuning pipes also purchased from Motordyne Engineering to make an amazing sound and nice performance. The exhaust A) Looks Sexy and B) has no drone which makes it amazing on the highway.

Added Crank Pully

I purchased my lightweight Underdrive Crank Pully from Unorthodox Racing in the US.

Added TransGo Shift Kit

The shift kit was one of my 'for fun' mods. Definitely recommend it to anyone with an Auto. The car feels like it accelerates so much harder and the shifts are lightning fast and chirp the wheels when you're flat footed. Driving the car normally you wouldn't even know the kit was there.

Added Tune

The Car was tuned thanks to UpRev in America. A lot of hype surrounds the UpRev Osiris tune for the G35 so I decided to invest in it after looking into other avenues (Piggy back ECU's etc). I ended up purchasing the Standard Pacakage for $500 USD. After having communication issues with a great company in the UK that e-tuned my car with UpRev Osiris I decided, while on the Dyno, to upgrade my UpRev account to include the Tuning package (an extra $200) and I letMatt Spry from PITS on the Gold Coast take over. It was his first V35 UpRev Tune but he found it to be super easy and was able to get 10WHP more than the e-tune package from the UK.

Final Performance Dyno

The Final Dyno shows:

A )The Stock Reading shown above (Pink) Average of 201HP consistently, highest of 203.

B) The Reading after the parts were installed and the very first Flash was sent to me from the UK.(Green)

C) The final reading after Matty Spry got his hands on the Tuner Kit.(Red)

Again these were all 3rd gear pulls and from my research 4th gear would be the best gear for a 5 AT. These figures aren't necessarily the highest WHP my car can do, but more so showing the gains.

Added 20 inch Wheels

These Wheels, Vertini Fairlady, were added today (02/08/2011) now that the Dyno runs are complete. Will invest in lowering the car at a future date.

Already Purchased

Very Popular combo in the US. All Purchased and on a ship here as we speak.

• KurumaZ Front bumper
• ChargeSpeed Rear Bumper
• Impul Side Skirts

Future Mods

• Lowering the car (Possibly 350z Springs)
• Big Brake Kit (OEM Kit from the 370z)
• Painting Roof Black.

If you're looking for any information on a product hit me up, i'd be happy to help you out. Matt Spry is also now looking into doing more UpRev tunes. I believe hes also looking into becoming Australia's first listed UpRev Osiris Tuner.

Let me know what you think.

Hey, nicely done. Clear and easy to read. Now i feel like doing up my car. I promised not to touch the engine but now im tempted.

[black 350]

hey man sweet ride love what you have done can u tell me who did your stereo conversion? i am trying to find someone thanks.

[sheldon2369]

Thanks mate. The stereo conversion was already done when i imported it sorry. Can't be of much help there. All i had to do was install the unit.

[sheldon2369]

kit arrived today

Will see the final product on approximately the 31st of October.

[Pulp]

Wow man nice job overall so far!!

Do you mind telling me where you got the headlights from and approx how much?

cheers!

[sheldon2369]

Hey mate, Headlights were from Strafe in america. $400 for both. The only thing im worried about is them being LHD. So i'll have to tinker with them to try make them not blind people

[scarf]

great ordering of parts. The kit should look sweat with the lights

[T4NK]

Nah even if you send seperate boxes under different names but to same address they can still combine them the ass holes

I have the solution send it to ur parents place work place and also your house, then just go collect the parts when they arrive .

Also im about to order some new parts, I need new lights and side skirts as my K style ones did not fit and my lights are fogged up, do you know if the front bar and skirts you got are direct bolt on?

[sheldon2369]

I would assume they are. Usually USA products are pretty good like that. I'll be able to let you know in a week though.

[T4NK]

ok sweet as, i had huge issues with the fitment of the ones i got from AUS, they had huge gaps and holes in them and i dont want to go through the return process again :S can you post some pics of the inside of the skirts at all so i can see the parts that will bolt them onto the car? That would be a great help

Im also having some issues with strafe auto i have sent them a few msgs and have not goten any replies. and with the shipping is it air shipped or all done via boat?

Sadly (not for me) the kits in the shop at the moment being put on the car so i can't get any photos sorry.

Strafe did seem kinda hard to get in contact with. Try talking to them on the g35driver forums. You'll have to arrange import yourself. I did mine via ship and it cost me $800 to import, before GST.

[T4NK]

ahh shit thats expensive lol i wounder if they can just UPS it to me
