Looking good man,

I haven't "done" anything lately but I am about to install a whole bunch of goodies.

Here's what I've got going on in the next week-

Full service on the car which includes: Oil and filter change, diff oil change, gear oil change, spark plugs change, MAF clean, fuel sending unit clean.

Oils I'm using-

Motul 300v chrono 10w40 engine oil

K&n oil filter

Redline heavy lightweight shockproof diff oil 75w90 gl5

NGK Iridium spark plugs

Genuine Nissan gear oil

Mods and such happening soon-

Installing BC BR Racing coilovers (purchased should receive them soon)

SPC Front camber kit install (purchasing next week)

Front and rear wheel spacers (purchasing next week) decided to get a set again and put them on since I'm sick of this wheel gap

Changing my bonnet hinges as one is bent and rubbing on my fender causing paint chipping.

Aaaand that's about it I think. Lucky me got another week off holidays to get all this done, apart from the camber kit and spacers because they're coming from the US.

Chrono... high roiling for a street cargot to do a service on mine this sunday tooFYI go fortune auto over BC

Indeed it is, but I want to give it a shot I've been reading some really good reviews on it and I like knowing that my car is running on high quality products. Well I figured the BC BR coils are perfect for the type of driving I do with my car, which is daily driving and once or twice every few months a run down the strip and that's it. Plus I got them at a good price locally so I don't have to wait 2 weeks to get them from the US providing there isn't any AUS sellers.

PhillB.. If I decide I can still go lower while on 19in without raping my subframe on catseye that what i'll be going

got the motul 5w-40 in mine atm forget the name just a left over bottle a I dont use it in the 14 anymore,might go it agin, or something different

Castrol Titanium 5w30 in with a k&n oil filter.

Also snapped 3 wheel studs - so while I wait on replacements and the car is undriveable - figured as good as time as any to put my BC coilovers and spl arms in.....and paint the calipers.

So far pulled all the suspension out, rears took maybe 30 mins. Fronts about 2 hrs.....had to angle grind off the brake caliper mount to strut after both 12mm nuts rounded off grr.....reinstall Sunday.

One wheel rocked up today as a teaser

Good:

-look brand new... like less than 1000km on them

-dish is epic

-looks amazing

-should easily be able to mod the center cap to get rid of the fake racing nut

Bad:

-comes nowhere close to clearing the brembos on the rear and need at least 8mm spacers to clear

Thus that makes them 10.5-3 effectively so fairly Mexican :(

As its just on wood its running more camber than it does with a tyre

To have a hope of fitting them need to get a 7/8mm spacer, extended studs and run a 245

Would you Consider switching to a non brembo caliper??

By the way- what do brembo guys use as a spare? Mine has had brembos fitted post factory and the stock space saver does not clear front or rear.

Just take a rear off, put it on the front, and put the space saver on the rear.

Doesn't clear the rear either. <br /><br />I assume sport pack v35s have a full sized spare? I will either throw a stock wheel under the floor in the boot or just get some tyre weld.

havent even checked to see what the spare is like in mine :lol:

Other 3 rocked up today

Looks like the guy guttered one of his brand new rims and sold them off as all are perfect except for a gutter rash on the front

They went on without too much hassle.

Ive already got extended studs in the front, but the rear there is no listing. But looking around the front and rear studs are the same on these, so I will try my luck with the same part number as the front and do one as a test. Then just need a 8mm slip on and tyre and ready to go

Had Mitch's / Sheldon's Motordyne Exhaust fitted yesterday and could not be happier, has such a nice tone and doesn't drone unless going up steep hill's. Now just need to get me some wheels and ill be a happy little Vegemite =)
