What Have You Done To Your V-Series Today?

Installed a bit of carbon fibre goodness...

I'm enjoying the hood dampers.

I haven't done anything to him as he has been doing a lot to me..... giving me a brand new headache everyday.

0-100 tested my 300GT. Came in at 7.4 seconds. Pretty happy, hoping for small improvements after this weeks mods.

That would look awesome if it was wider and went out to the tail lights

Did a bit tinkering.

Cut down the studs on the V35 that were a few threads too long so now all the center caps are on.

Also sprayed the tow point cover. I think the Jap ones usually have a big number plate holder that covers this (hense the 4 little holes that ive covered with trim clips) but this is for the US market where some dont have to run front plates. Was only like $20 and will get rid of that gaping hole under the plate.

Sprayed it and for once using clear it didnt turn it into a orange peeled mess.

For those playing at home, scuffed it up, 3 coats plastic primer. 3 coats normal primer, light sand with 1200, 4 coats colour and the 3 really light coats of clear.

Not a perfect colout match but ok for home job and lot better than a gaping hole

All the holes bar the bottom 2 are covered by the plate and I sprayed 2 more at the same time as the tow point cover so should hopefully stick a bitbetter than the ones flaking in the photo

Thats about it for the V35 for the near future so back to the 14 for a while

Got my interior trim pieces back from paint. Put LED lights in the cup holder. Also colour coded the GT badge to match my calipers (it's the little things, right?) and fitted the Vertex roof and boot lips. No pics though.

Do you actually use your cup holder Mat? I find it very impractical given where it is.. same with the console bit with the sliding cover - again impractical because soon as you put a bottle or whatever in it you can't change gears properly.. i use that bit for my ipod/phone

<br />My stuff is from Japan. Bought it off the ex-Vertex importer in QLD. It has all the jap documentation/instructions/metal plaque/stickers etc - so it is very much available from Jap given i can't understand a single word on the paperwork! He had an entire lip kit which I was trying to buy - we agreed on a price and postage but when he went to courier it the postage price quadrupled, so I had to pull out and take just the lips. If you're in QLD I can give you his details, he had two complete kits left, all brand new. He was asking $1300. Rrp for the lip kit is USD 2600 - the lip spoilers are nearly 500 each. Such good quality, finished in gel coat, hi filled and sanded - my panel beater didn't even have to prep them.

Nah I just mean I went through all the menus on the jap website and didnt see anything for V35

[LEE490]

think i found the dealer you talking about Smokey when i was was looking on Gumtree the other night, Hoping he still has one available when im back from Thailand

[SMOKEYV35]

That's the guy, Lee. His name is Masato - I spoke to him on the phone a few times and verified him before transferring my cash. He was good to deal with. Took some quick pics just in the garage.

Installed my new brakes - 370Z Akebonos front & rear. Second pic shows stock size front rotors vs new 350mm x 32mm front rotors. My stock premium coupe 18" rims won't fit over the front brakes - need to either get different rims or try a small spacer. I've got a set of 350Z rims that fit, so have them on for the moment.

Mushilea - where did you get the hood dampers from? Are they available as a direct bolt-on, or did you make something fit? Any drilling required?
