What Have You Done To Your V-Series Today?

[Seano350GT]

Locky i'm guessing you already know but those spacers will void your warranty in the event of an accident, that's why i put mine on then decided to sell them simply because of that.

[(Locky)]

I've run spacers on my street and track cars for the last 4 years with no issues.

It will unlikely void your insurance unless it was a contributing factor to the accident ... ie if your wheel cheers off the studs doubt you will be covered but if you get ran up the back of I highly doubt it will

[Seano350GT]

Ooops just realised i wrote warranty, i meant insurance.. sorry it's Saturday lol.

Yeah good point, i just know that in my experience insurance companies will find any excuse NOT to pay you.

[(Locky)]

Got my rear gaurds rolled this morning by PhilB

Also my overly shiny wheel nuts rocked up

25mm spacer on the back now on too

Effectively 19x9.5+15 on front and 19x10.5+12 on the rear

Camber 1.5 deg front, 2.5 rear on stock arms

Wish my work computer displayed images, i really want to see your car Locky. I am jealous of the spare time that you have to work on your car. Constantly updating it, good form!

Love the number plates mate! Lol!!

She looks wicked! I'm not going to give away any details because I want Sean to suffer.

Fml.

[NORBY]

buying up parts at the moment to get the V running nicely.

I went for a twistys run with my friend in his new FT86 (both auto)

In the tight stuff he ran away but then as soon as there is anything resembling power required im right back in it.

The FT86 is deifnitely a nice car, but makes the V look like a whale when they are parked side by side

[LineItUp]

I test drove one before I started tweaking the V...

Couldn't live with that horrible boxer engine! (I owned an AE111 Levin coupe before the V... so I'm not against small rev-happy 4 cylinders).

And I really disliked the fake induction noise set up... My first VQ powered car was stock with a pod filter, and it was so loud I got pulled over and threatened with a defect for my 'loud exhaust' (exhaust was stock)...

in regards to the induction noise you can definitely get them turned off now, but i can see your point. I think you get a lot of kit for the money in terms of new car, but tbh if it were me i would buy a 135i BMW for the same cash (he has a fully optioned GTS)

[(Locky)]

I was actually about to order an 86 on salary sacrifice but decided to buy a V35 instead privately

But I cant see myself Locked into a car for 4 years, Plus the depreciation so if your get stuck and need to sell it your are way behind on cash

Plates I got like 5 years ago as a joke as It was on my beater drift CA 180sx with unpainted bodykit... Had them so long now cant get rid of them. Even though the red doesn't suit they are beaten up, scrap marks from Oran park (RIP) I'm somewhat emotionally attached to them as gay as it is

Its not that I have lots of time, just a hour here or there and doing lots of little jobs, They will dry up soon though as Ive run out of most of those. Exterior is pretty much done besides getting a skirt resprayed (as someone took the protective sticker off and a lot of paint with it )

Something I did yesterday

I was going to order new door grips as mine were all scratched up. Thought I might have a go at restoring them as worse case I'll but a new pair anyway.

Before

Sanded with 400, 2 coats plastic prime, 3 coats random silver (close to exterior colour) had in the garage, 2 coats clear.

Its different to the other silver a fair bit, but will do for now till I get a bunch of stuff from the US

[Seano350GT]

Pleased to announce that i have finally ordered my brand new CD009 gearbox and everything else needed like chromoly pivot ball, ss clutch lines and nismo bushings. Along with the new gearbox i have also got a Southbend (Exedy) Clutch & Steel Flywheel, Amsoil 75w90 gl4 gearbox oil and Amsoil 75w90 gl5 diff oil.

AND i have ordered a RJM clutch bracket, this is meant to make the notorious "knotchy" or "rough" 1st to 2nd gear change much much smoother. I have also semi-booked a date to get it all fitted through a local shop, i am keen as beans!

[=CPV35=]

I got my tein s-techs installed today....now waiting for them to settle and then do the alignment////

anyone know how long I should wait for them to settle?

tomorrow I'm gonna install the z-tube/pop charger combo myself....wish me luck

[Seano350GT]

After i put my springs in they didn't really go much lower, i'd give it 2 days max i wouldn't want to drive any longer with an un-alligned car.

[colin.ssc]

Hmmm, i aligned the car right after the springs went it. Does it make a lot of difference?

[Seano350GT]

I can't see how it possibly could, i took my car straight to Tyrepower for an allignment after the springs went on and i've had 0 problems at all still drives dead straight.

[colin.ssc]

Phew~ lol for a moment there I thought I just wasted money on doing alignment right after.

[=CPV35=]

look on g35 driver, ALL the posts say you should align them after they have settled....

[Seano350GT]

Locky i am home now, i finally see your car! Looks clean mate, i too need to clean up the door handle silver thingy.

I like the wheels, the front licence plate looks tiny compared to the normal ones hey.

[Seano350GT]

I have just replaced my bose door speaker, got a 2nd hand one off a guy named Josh that bought a v35 wreck. Works like new, finally my right ear can join my left ear in enjoying house music again!
