Hi, used this site plenty but finally signed up.

I'd like to find out more about what's been done to my recently purchased Black V35... as far as any history goes it stops at Grafton by a girl who knew nothing about the car.

 

I can tell it's had some work but also looks like a small accident at one point? Besides mods I CAN see, I'm curious to know more if I can find the old owner/s.

To help anyone recognise the car, its got a kinetix plenum, nismo sways, english nav screen, asuka video box?, 'repainted driver front fender', silver mirrors..., jvc headunit, viper security system, carbon intake tube, aftermarket mph guage..., some extra ground wires, apexi throttle controller, unconnected oil cooler, aftermarket headlights, various support parts for the bumpers removed, and some interior carbon wrap...

Attached is the only photo I've taken so far... 😅

Wow, that's my old car!

 

I crashed it in Aug 2018 and it was a write-off (I assume stat write-off since it has been repaired and re-registered). I hit the front right hand corner and it damaged the bar, guard, light support (I think it snapped one of the headlight mounts), totalled the oil cooler, and cracked the front carbon fibre support (which was the main reason for the writeoff - insurance said the composite carbon front nose is around $15k brand new out of Japan).

 

Does it still have the black SAFCII mounted where the ashtray used to be?

I was going to say it was your car :)

I guess you mean, not a stat write-off?

Probably not too hard to repair those items if they had a donor car.  The question is, has it been repaired properly?  or just enough to get a RWC?

Can tell you it's (rad support) still cracked and crap 😂 I've already straightened the rear bar out because it was missing clips and sagging. Headlights are in the middle of a swap but I need a ballast as one was left without a cap and has given out.

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!

      If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
