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.

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 21st.

Arrived in Australia

The Car arrived in Australian waters on June 24th.

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 3rd Gear and from my understanding (Reading G35driver) the better gear is 4th.

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.

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

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?

That would be a great help

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.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 路 Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
