Yes i was tempted to do it myself but ... i would like someone to do it first n have a look at the whole car.

See if they can spot something i missed, that might need repair and give me a few tips here and there

Also if he is into mods, then i might get a clear coat or that glassy coat.

Black on black shiny v35...:wub:

someone on this forum will probably spot any issues or something that may turn into one better than any mechanic. assuming the mechanic doesnt own a V35.

id probably take the word of an enthusiest over a 'general' mechanic as they know their shit with that car, and also care about their car.

no offence to any mechanics who read this.

just get someone to show you how to do it. as cam mentioned, its not that hard!

I aggree, i know the ins and outs of my car pretty well, better than most mechanics. I have done everything myself, just read g35 driver and you will learn all the things that go wrong with our car, how to fix them etc. I even made a thread on sau called serving, it includes all the fluids you need, amounts, DIY fixes etc. A few things may not be 100% like under estimating on some fluids amounts but i cant change the post like you can edit on other forums (so annoying mods...)

Given an admin often sits in and posts in this thread and the V35 section in general, just PM me the changes you want made (so I can copy and paste) and a link to the thread, and I will edit it for you :D

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
