there is no bodykit available that can make a v35 look any better than factory. it comes down to the shape of the headlight - its the ugliest part of a v35 in my opinion.

I disagree. While I think there isn't inherently wrong about the factory kit (and have seen some nicely lowered V's with the standard kit), I do think the right kit/wheels/height can transform the look of the V.

For example:

I think is a nice example of a kit that doesn't go overboard... I agree that the V35 Headlights are its weakest part though!

Whatever body kit you get, please don't get the GTR lookalike front bar...

+1000000 I hate seeing this.

aaaah if you look closely the INGS panels are just an addition to the original bumpers. ... thats why they look acceptable. well the front does at least..

the point i was getting at was that nobody produces a complete bumper that looks right. they all go overboard with curves and angles that dont match any other part of the car

The thing is the V35 coupe has a very unique shape and lines, that's why it's hard for aftermarket bodykit makers to get their designs right. Add to the fact that this car was designed mainly for the American market, hence any Jap style aero bits would not look right on the V35.

Have a look at the Burnout lip kit, comes in carbon or Fiber, has a front lip, side skirts (they cover the OEM ones) and also rear pods.

It took me ages to find this site once i found the name of the kit, they speak english so u can email them for quotes, when i had one done it was around $2500 to your door including customs charges.

$50,000 according to him of fail

When he says he 'spent $50k on it' I think he means he bought it 5 years ago for $40k (which would be true) and has spent $10k on it .... but seriously, they are some tasteless mods IMHO - those wheels are pure puke - and for $4k he could have bought some high end Nismo wheels in decent offset rather than the fail wheels with large spacers (which are not only dangerous, but are illegal and void your insurance) .... what a tool.

But as opposed to most, I quite like the GTR front bar - especially with the carbon fibre centre.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
