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... 馃槄

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 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?

Car looks shiny. Fix up the weird bits and drive it.

Can tell you it's (rad support) still cracked and crap 馃槀 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.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 路 Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
