My V35

[R3N]

So... This is my 5-stud conversion...

Sold my 180, and picked this up. I was set on a V35, I wanted a stocker but couldn't go past this one. Some may know it. Its the old VDIRTY5. Bought... not built, but getting rebuilt. The engine is blown... literally. Getting some quotes on rebuilds atm and will take it from there.

Already have some plans for it so stay tuned ;) It had 20" GT-Cs on before but the owner sold them and slapped on some china 19s... needless to say, those are going as soon as something suitable pops up (and if I'm lucky they will be here when I get back from my holiday)

[flamo_damo]

Fark looking a little worse for wear, my mate owned this for a bit. Moves for a big car, GTC's were the shit - find them and buy them back!

[R3N]

Yea it is a little worse for wear, but I'm working on it. GTCs won't be making a come back. Already have something on the cards ;)

mitchy you had your chance!

[Joe]

Noice!

V35's are pretty killer.. with a new motor and some big rims, it'll be farkin excellent.

Looks to have a few mods! Got any details?

[R3N]

Off the top of my head...

Vortech Supercharger
Borla Exhaust
3-1 headers
Tein CS Coilovers
Whiteline F&R swaybars
Burnout Ks CF lip kit
Plenum spacer

That's pretty much it... and stock brembos :D

[TJ]

Theres a set of pistons rods etc on sale on boostcruising for 1600 bucks if it helps.

[mitchy]

haha, that wasnt an offer you silly asian!
you need about 6 of them. :p

[Marti]

Is this Jeff Ash's old car ?

[TJ]

Did you bother reading?

Cheers tj, will check it out


haha, that wasnt an offer you silly asian!

what you did there... i saw it


Is this Jeff Ash's old car ?

it used to belong to C-Red at one stage

[jaybee]

nice pickup dude, i see alot of potential there

what rims you have in mind?

[R3N]

Choice of rims will be revealed in about 2 hours time ;)

Will be selling the plates and getting state plates... although have thought about getting the plates [KEK] :p

[monk_13]

I believe I may have already said this before...

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

:D

[Fukushima]

that is sweet!

Can you get something to cover up the supercharger? Just needs a stock looking plastic shroud over the top for when you are out and about...

the car is rego'd with the supercharger ;)


you fucking asian! might aswell get [KEK LAH]

well it works on 2 levels, cos its my name just without the U :p

[Fukushima]

wicked

so... fix the engine and do a burnout

[Barrett]

Good Buy! i was looking at in on carsales and wondering why it wasnt bought yet to cheap to pass up!

[Huy]

Looking forward to seeing the 22" chromes, Kuek! :)

Nice car.

[monk_13]

feel free to say it again :D


I'll just leave this here shall I?!?!?!!???

The crappy thing is that I will be away for 3 weeks from next week, so all these will have to get done when I'm back! Hope to get the engine rebuilt while I'm away so I can get back and run it in and have the new rims put on.

Shane don't tease! I won't go all out with the build, I will only boost it 6-7psi max anyway!

[Sully]

so is this one actually going to get washed before you get bored of it and sell it on?

[ChrisGTR]

R35 GTR rims?
Very nice, I'd imagine it would've cost you a pretty penny.
Nice base for a good project. Well done.

[jaybee]

no way 35r rims...not at the prices iv seen them go for!

yahoo auctions?

[R3N]

so is this one actually going to get washed before you get bored of it and sell it on?

bite me! it got washed yesterday :D

yes 35r rims! 20x9.5 +45 and 20x10.5 +25

will get them sent in a few weeks so it will get here when i get back from my trip

[1JZNOSHIT]

that will look bombed with the R wheels. +45 on the front is a bit high though? might need a 15mm spacer!! :D

[jaybee]

keeeeen to see this. i like your style kek

[R3N]

that will look bombed with the R wheels. +45 on the front is a bit high though? might need a 15mm spacer!! :D

yea funny how the R35 was the only gtr to have a staggered fitment... and none of this 15mm business... 20mm :p and i need to hit you up for insurance deluca! :D

yea jb, can't wait. will get it fixed up and powdercoated gloss black as it has a bit of scratches and kerb damage.

[BN01]

Forget engine, get magic fuel cap fixed first? :p

[R3N]

don't you have 15 year old lesbians to tend to? :D

[Sfidz]

bite me! it got washed yesterday :D



there is a kuek wash and then a real wash :P

[180SXTCY]

bombed kuek haha so much for keeping it all on the down low mate.

It's due to the ATTESSA changing that they can now have different width and offset :)

[Splat_man]

mannnnn
shits gonna be baller
fo reals!

[NoOg_sTaR]

Thing will look hot with the 35 rims. Haha dude I still can't get over the fact that you were debadging the car last night in t shirt, shorts, and thongs. WEREN'T YOU FKN COLD???

I also found out who has the old GT-C's, I thought the wheels on the car now looked familiar.

[Skitzo]

Nicely done mate. Rim choice is quite excellent!

It was pretty cold :p Well... I wasn't planning on keeping the GTCs on them anyway. Who has them btw Sam?

Thanks darl

[TJ]

I must be the only person who doesnt rate 35R wheels on stuff.

[Joe]

I must be the only person who doesnt rate 35R wheels on stuff.

That would be correct.

[YOUR MATE]

Ah so they were gtc'S on the v35 I saw in the tunnel on my way to work. Good looking wheel, should look good on 35r's though.

[Tocchi]

i dislike you keuk. haha

nah fucking sweet :)

[Lonewolf]

I must be the only person who doesnt rate 35R wheels on stuff.

I'll wait to see pics with them on, but at this stage i'm in agreement.

[Mad_Aussie]

I must be the only person who doesnt rate 35R wheels on stuff.

IMO 35R wheels look terrible, even on GTR's

[yeahlow34]

I must be the only person who doesnt rate 35R wheels on stuff.

Agreed.

I'm not a fan of concave rims alot of the time, I like my dish. In saying that, I think the rims will suit this car nicely.

Though GTC's look titties.

[R3N]

I had my heart set on Work Varianza T1S with stepped lip, but decided to try something different. So many cars out there with GTCs, and in the US, lots of v35s with the T1Ss. Deciding to go for something different and see if it pays off ;)

[dmwill]

Always liked the V35s

Same engine (VQ35**) as the 350Z, Maxima etc right?

If that be the case - is pricing for servicing and parts (OEM) much the same as an Australian model?

[S133LTR]

Deciding to go for something different and see if it pays off ;)

Cant wait to see how it looks personally.

Off topic a young guy I work with bought your old racing harts.. The get alot of cleaning these days but do the odd trip down to Allience in between washes.

[R3N]

Yup, exactly the same as 350Zs, Maximas run the VQ30. Parts are interchangable (most of them) with the 350z etc as well.

Kerb damage? I got my S15 with those rims, took em off as soon as I got the LMGT4s. Was too weak width/offset wise :p

[Slip_]

Nice one lah!!

[Drift_R32]

I must be the only person who doesnt rate 35R wheels on stuff.

nah your not
for the price they want they are a pretty plain looking wheel.

[carlos spicy wener]

nice pick up kuek, ive always been a fan of the v35's

it should get up and boogie with the rights mods too.

[R3N]

Cheers dude... already gets up and boogie :)

Small update: Car has been dropped off to get a rebuild, should be all good and running when I get back aye Josh? :p

[jaybee]

god no...

[180SXTCY]

Kuek Do not do then Flora ffs.

[joshg123]

Anythings better than the plume of smoke it arrived in

[Sully]

You reckon that was bad, you shoulda seen what was following it when the car first started! Had it's own fucking weather system trailing it!

[lambchops]

35R rims would look awesome on this

they go for 10k at JPC though..

did you get them off the auctions for a bargain?

[mitchy]

Kuek is one ballin' motherfucker, lowballing isn't in his vocabulary... :p

[R3N]

Does JPC actually want 10k for them? Someone told me 5-6k, unless I have lousy informants. If anything less than 5k is a bargain then yes I did get them at a bargain ;) Freight is the killer


Kuek is one ballin' motherfucker, lowballing isn't in his vocabulary... :p

Jealous issit?

[R3N]

Kuek Do not do then Flora ffs.

lol what jd?

[Fryman]

if you got them landed for 5 k thats a bargain.

made by rays, will be interesting to see how they look!

the gtcs were horn and a significant investment made by one Mr Ash.

Sweet ride mate!

[180SXTCY]

lol what jd?

sorry to many beers.. haha

i was meant to say DO NOT do them homo doors.

[S133LTR]

DO NOT do them homo doors.

haha QFT.

[R3N]

lol as if i would do them doors...

already have quite a bit of a shopping list, will see how i go after the rebuild

[duste]

Wttttffff share the wealth!

How long until the rebuild or is it underway already?

[joshg123]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/joshg123/000_0092.jpg

[dhs]

kuek this is the tidiest v35 i ever seen
can i have datsun babies with you hahah

[gerrin]

meh towed it :P

[180SXTCY]

Josh what r u plannibg in doing to the donk?

[joshg123]

The plan will be set in stone once we find out if the bores are scored by a broken ring or damaged ringland. But in short a OEM spec rebuild, perhaps with forgies depending on the bores. Kuek wants to keep it simple and reliable, not chase power.

[180SXTCY]

I'd deff go some forgies as it's coping boost. Get plenty of photos Im quite interested in it

[Alt_F4]

IMO, sell the engine off and throw some forgies + boost @ a VH45.
Either way this will be a nice ride when your finished :D

[R3N]

kuek this is the tidiest v35 i ever seen

Not with a white 33 :p


meh towed it :P

I could tell that was the highlight of your day Gerrin!



I'd deff go some forgies as it's coping boost. Get plenty of photos Im quite interested in it

Problem is jd, most forgies are 8.5:1 or 11:1 CR, stock is 10.3. From what I've read, the ECUs aren't the most tunable thing unless I went FConV, there is a small tuning box with the vortex but its a bit tricky. So I just want to go close to stock as it isn't running massive boost anyway.

The VQs have weak rings from what I've heard as well, and forcing more air down its throat has lead to this. Hopefully it won't be a nightmare when Josh pulls it apart. And yes I want pics too, only way to see its progress while I'm away haha

2JZ swap or GTFO

Get stronger rod bolts for sure, and possibly think about an oil pump from the later HR motors.

Just in case it is decided that more boost is wanted down the track, as the OEM rod bolts fail at around 400rwhp, and the HR oil pump had the design changed slighty to better suit sustained high rpms.

[mitchy]

2JZ swap or GTFO

seriously, this relationship is over.

[Skitzo]

Drop a 2J in it, and ill let you grope me from behind while i am urinating all you want.

[mitchy]

cutting my grass. :(

The point of the rebuild is more to keep it simple, there are many many things Kuek could do to this engine to make it stronger and stronger. Headstuds and Rodbolts are certainly fesable options, but once you go down the upgraded oil pump pathway you may aswell do this and that and this and that. Sending part prices skyward

[R3N]

As Josh said, power isn't my goal, reliability is. If I was chasing any more power, I'd put in cams while the engine is apart and drop the CR to about 9:1 etc etc. Don't want this to get out of hand, just a nice luxo cruiser with a bit of poke.

As is, the auto gbox is having problems handling this kind of power (potential problems anyway), so will need to be strengthened. Thinking of a v/b upgrade and a trans cooler as the next step.

[Alt_F4]

1UZ swap or GTFO
Fixed, although still gay compared to 4.5L of nissan fury :p

[gerrin]

I could tell that was the highlight of your day Gerrin

it nearly was the bent one i towed later in the day was up there :P

[duste]

...but once you go down the upgraded oil pump pathway you may aswell do this and that and this and that. Sending part prices skyward

But you've obviously no experience in the "this and that" fiasco, do you? Haha

[joshg123]

My bank account would disagree

[joshg123]

Kuek asked me to take some photos along the way, so no better place to pop them than in here.

I pulled the timing chains off the other day, and then heads, couldnt see obvious scars in the bore, nor melted piston crowns or ping marks. I still had a gut feeling we had piston problems (rather than just re-ring) so i had to make a decision to order some JE 10.5CR's from a contact of mine over east to make his Saturday 10th shipment, the price was comparable from the ebay ones so i jumped and got them ordered for Kuek. Our problems with this motor were confirmed tonight when i pulled #1 from its bore.

Bore is in good order, so will get a light hone done to suit the new pistons, go with some ACL race bearings in STD/STD size. get the heads faced and pressure tested.

[monk_13]

If you need any random bolts, cover etc. Let me know. I bought a shagged long motor the other week with the hopes of rebuilding, but it has suffered MASSIVE end float and the block is cactus. Only going to keep the heads and related bits, and turf the rest.

[R3N]

Is that #2 ring land? Thats fucked haha

[R3N]

Shane what are you going to do with the motor now? How many kms on it? I'll see if my valve covers are leaking as I initially assumed but may not be, if they are, keen to sell?

Also picked up a set of these
http://icbmotorsport.com/New3/Project_Kics_R40_NEO_Chrono_Honda_with_Locks_.jpg

Rims are about a week or so away

[joshg123]

Drivers side bank cover is pissing bigtime Kuek, passenger side not so much.

All the pistons are destroyed, all have cracked ringlands bigtime. On #2 piston the ringlands have collapsed onto the oil scraper ring, i cant even get the rings out, they are completley crushed into the piston

[SimonR32]

NICE!

That is a decent effort, I wonder what cause a catastrophic failure like that?!?

10.5 CR is pretty high for forced induction, how much boost does it run?

[R3N]

Stock cr is 10.3, most of the shelf pistons are either 8.5 or 11. I think it runs around 10 psi max atm. Will get it on the dyno after its all run im and might drop the boost a little to around 8psi.

Not sure what caused that much damage. Can only assume the vq doesnt like that much boost crammed down its throat

[joshg123]

Deto has caused this, i think its had a hard life with this charger on it

[R3N]

Hmm.. but wouldnt deto cause the crowns to be fucked? I have a feeling that tune is to blame as well as the 2.73 pulley. Might put the 3.12 back on

[Lump]

ring lands would have a harder time of it than crowns i'd say.

just out of interest, do you know who last tuned it?

[R3N]

As far as i know allstar had a look at it when jai had it back in 08. I have a feeling when the car changed hands, the 2.73 pulley was slapped on. Thats just what i think. Hence going back to 3.12

[joshg123]

Kuek please call me asap

[Lump]

^^no worries (was just askin since ive just bought an ex c-red car)
cheers

[joshg123]

^^no worries (was just askin since ive just bought an ex c-red car)
cheers

It wasnt charged when c-red owned it, so c-red have nothing to do with the deto problem. I dont think you could really fault asg if thats where it went either, its a high comp motor with aftermarket charger, not intended for boost with a unknown piggy back. I think it was probably destined for trouble whichever way you look at it.

Turns out the motor has also been hot, the bore is 5thou out of round. We are unable to use STD size pistons (which means we cant keep standard compression) as once we get the bore square the std JE bore pistons will be slappy as all hell.

[180SXTCY]

kuek everything josh as found is what i said get ready for. being a wet liner block also i still think you should invest in a 'bore guard' or what ever they call them to keep it all rigid and happy.

[duste]

I think this is as good an opportunity as ever to go to town with this build? $10-20k later...... :)

[jaybee]

all i see the for the last page are excuses for a stroker kit.

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/jun-stroker-kit-38l-nissan-350z-vq35de-turbo-p-24653.html

[jaybee]

how much are VQ37's worth these days?

[R3N]

Just spoke to josh and wanted to clarify it wasnt actually tuned at asg either, just had a run there and some fuel added in.

Change of plans, i'm going with 11:1 CR now as the block needs a rebore. Basically n/a power with a bit of boost. Will put the 3.33 pulley on to run about 5-7psi

[c.rusli]

what ecu it is running now?

if you are still thinking of running piggy back u better ditch it..
piggy back ecu eats 2 of my old car engine lol
its just not going to work

nice car mate!

[R3N]

The piggy back will work in this case for what i need. Essentially just need to pull back some timing. At lowish boost i even think thats unnecessary but will see what sean says

[Lonewolf]

high comp build ftw!
i'd expect aftermarket pistons to be a bit more detonation restistant anyway.

Likely the old owner may have just slapped on pulley for more boost without retuning?
what piggy back is on it out of interest?

[R3N]

Its called a FMU that came with the vortech kit. Allows for abit of playing with fuel and timing. Sort of like an safc.

Btw vq37s run stock 11:1 cr and from my brief googling, many are running around with 500+ on stock bottom ends. Not saying that it will last but a lot of high comp + boost combos work with the right fuel and tune. Will have to wait and see what kind of lazy power this will make

[180SXTCY]

Kuek don't skimp on decent head gaskets and head studs either.

[monk_13]

Uh OH.....

Kuek, PM your email addy this way. May be able to help you out a bit here.

[R3N]

Yea going all oem gear

[Lonewolf]

I'd be concerned about the tune side of things, hope it has a decent amount of control, otherwise i'd look at something else.

11:1 isnt a huge issue at low boost if the tune is right as you said

[R3N]

Meth injection ;)

[joshg123]

I'd be concerned about the tune side of things, hope it has a decent amount of control, otherwise i'd look at something else.

11:1 isnt a huge issue at low boost if the tune is right as you said

Bit of a trade off blake,

If we went 020 over 8.5CR pistons it would be a slug off the line, have good midrange (with a tiny s/charger pulley), and act like a slug once the charger becomes inefficient at high RPM

If we go 020 over 11:1CR pistons, it will be responsive off the line, be prone to detonation in the midrange when the charger is working but keep pulling nicely to redline.

The theory is, 11CR gives us the option of going with a larger (lower boost) pulley if the piggyback doesnt allow for timing to be pulled out where we need it. Or even to remove the s/charger if we have to, with teh 8.5's if we remove the charger it renders this engine undrivable.

AFAIK, the next step ECU wise is a massive undertaking being as the vehicle runs CAN BUS wiring and the engine ECU controls more than a old RB20 haha. ECU needs to talk to Trans and BCM. Only the HKS F-con can do this from what ive been told.

ARP Studs and Genuine gaskets are being used.

Have heard the VQ30DETT ecu can be used with some changes, then you can go down the nistune path.

[joshg123]

We are starting to get into the region of what Kuek was Trying to avoid if we do that though, obviously a much safer idea motor wise than a piggy back SAFC.

Whats a VQ30DETT fitted to though?

[Alt_F4]

Whats a VQ30DETT fitted to though?
Y33 Cedric, sorry is VQ30DET, not TT

[joshg123]

Y33 Cedric, sorry is VQ30DET, not TT

Like Rob Turners motor?

This thing has Fly by wire and VCT, afail they didnt have that?

[Lonewolf]

if it can be made to work thats probably the best bet, keep factory ECU but be able to tune the thing properly.

How much resolution does the FMU have?
Emanage ultimate + plug in harness could be a bit better?

I definitely agree that high comp + low boost is the way to go.

[jaybee]

imho, only keep the piggy back if it can provide a perfect tune in every area. if detonation will be prone in areas because of the lack of capability of the ecu (which im starting to think is the reason for the engine failure in the first place), ditch it in favour of the f-con..they are a very very good ecu anyway. your already rebuilding the engine, so do it once and do it properly.

[R3N]

Jb engine failure was due to it being untuned, not being unable to be tuned. It prob would have survived without much tuning with the 3.33 pulley but def not with the 2.87

[c.rusli]

Speak to Sean At ASG if his ur prefered tuner.
so far as i know he would not touch another piggy back after my case..
he just hates it lol!

i was on Emanage Ultimate.
On the Dyno yeah its perfect! its fine! good power

when its on the road and you put a data logger and live logging.. its fuked up.. timming were off by par from when it was on the dyno!

This is from N/A to Turbo (a honda :p)

[AGIT8D]

Mmmmm high comp + boost. Makes me want a blower, though my CR is a tad higher than your destined CR. Good luck with it :)

remember that is also a lot harder to tune a high comp turbo than it is a high comp centrifugal supercharger, boost comes on a lot slower.
I'd agree with you however, ECU is where i'd spend the money to do it right in this instance.

any specs on the FMU?

[joshg123]

Anyone have any good resources for some 11:1 pistons in a hurry? Im running out of suppliers that can get them here within a week or so, everyone else is saying 3 weeks (i will be in Europe)

[joshg123]

Good news, 11:1 pistons have been found and should be here on wednesday. By that time ill have the rest of the bits to build the motor, should be able to start cleaning and building next weekend if i can have the machine work done in time.

[jaybee]

im predicting the 35r rims to look better !

[jaybee]

i do believe all gtr rims are destined to look hot on any other car except a gtr, even 35 rims.

should just wait for us in singapore pingpingpingping

[R3N]

In case anyone was curious, weighed up the rims...

Fronts 20x9.5 were approx 11.7kgs
Rears 20x10.5 were approx 12.5kgs

Other 2 should show up tomorrow, getting them refurbed and painted and hopefully tyres on this week

[180SXTCY]

wats the latest with the donk kuek?

also them weights for the size of the rims is pretty impressive..

[R3N]

Its getting sent to the machine shop next week and Josh is doing his best to get it all built and put back in if possible before he leaves for Europe, otherwise it will be built before he goes, then put back in when he gets back, so will be another 3 weeks or so.

[Milhouse]

Any chance of a trial fit on those R35 wheels? :D

More than welcome to... I was telling mitchy how if I had a dollar for everyone who has asked to trial fit... I'd have 3... now 4 dollars

[Fukushima]

now 5

[mitchy]

can tell you straight away they won't fit an S* car up front without spacers. :)

you will need about 20x9.5 +20 to clear.. i needed 18x9.5 +15's to clear my S13 struts.

[R3N]

we fit it to an S15 car yesterday ;)

Fronts hit coilovers, had to slap on a 25mm spacer, even then there was only credit card clearance between the springs. Rears were fat!, sat approx 1" out of the guards

you'd be lucky to fit a tyre on them in the S15's guards.. does a pretty decent job of filling it rim only!

20s fit on s15s... just have like a 35 or 30 profile... not confortable i can tell you that...

Was that rim sticking out as much as the photo shows? Whats the offset?

[AGIT8D]

20s fit on s15s... just have like a 35 or 30 profile... not confortable i can tell you that...

Would look like ass on an S15!

Hot on the V35, though.

[R3N]

Id like to see 4 rear 35r rims on a 34r.. ;)

Just picked up wheels from getting refurbed and dropped them off at the powdercoaters. Should be done early next week

[mitchy]

the pink/green mix we spoke about?

[esky]

Was that with tyres though Daisy? 35R stock tyres are FAT!

rears fit fg falcon ute with stock 35r tyres. although the hub size is different and the rims need machining a little bit, they fit good.

Fronts fail, rim hits strut

[jaybee]

takata green

[Tocchi]

hmmm interesting. time4spacers lol

[esky]

like 50mm spaces, i.e it wasn't even close to fitting

[Tocchi]

haha 50mm fuck that.. ill leave that kinda stuff up to Ross ;)

[R3N]

the pink/green mix we spoke about?

Yea i just dropped them off and told him i was homosexual and wanted everyone to know, make it happen

[mitchy]

i thought that's what the honda was for?

[jaybee]

good thing he didnt buy a toyo, honda and toyo combo, might as-well walk around with a rainbow sticker on ya forehead.

keuk, are you going to paint the front lip/skirts etc the same colour as the rest of the car and de-wing it? will look much more sleek if you did!

Got wheels refurb at Perth Wheel Repair Centre (previously leo gommers), had all my rims refurbed there, good service, good price, no complaints from me. Wheels are getting powdercoated at Diamond Powdercoaters

[180SXTCY]

kuek where are diamond powder coaters and how much per rim is it costing u?

considering getting me te's re-don but in satin black.

[jaybee]

get some 35r brembo's to go with the 35r rims!

[monk_13]

or...

P.S Wheel specs are:
20X9.5 +0
20X11 +3

255/30
285/30

Cheers Ross, but apart from that thread, never heard anything else bad about the akebonos, and also that i don't really have an intention of tracking the car, (being auto and all) so should hold up fine for daily duties

oh god.... another Y34 on GTR rims. :(

sell me your rims Kuek, i need to buy me a Gloria!

damn dude this things gonna be porn when you finished it :) lovin those 35r rims... swap ya for my sa70's :) would look killa on x100 :)

I sorry :(

Gotta wait for them to be done before I can put them on :p


r3n, you got any 10mm bolt on spacers ?

I don't and AFAIK they don't make any 10mm bolt ons, minimum is 15mm (and the odd 12mms). I'm looking for 10 or 12s for my rears, otherwise i will just make the 15s fit!

[yeahlow34]

yes they are... are they done???! waiting for phone call today to go pick them up!

Yep, they look done to me. All in gunmetal grey type colour. I snapped an iphone pic, but it's pretty average.

Do you mind sharing how much it cost to get them blasted and resprayed? And also, does the blasting get rid of any gutter rash?

[Milhouse]

13mm's are available from justjap.

If they're a gunmetal grey colour then they're not done yet lol. That's how they were dropped off. Either that or they're still in primer. Post up the pic! You need to get the gutter rash machined out before blasting/coating. Cost me $60 per wheel for 20s.


13mm's are available from justjap.

Where? I can't see them!!! Show meee

[Milhouse]

hrmm odd, they used to have 13mm spacers :(

[NoOg_sTaR]

Kuek these guys make custom spacers, they will ask for thickness, stud pitch, and centerbore size to make them true hub centric.

http://wheelworx.com.au/spacers.html

Be warned they weren't that cheap when I enquired. I ended up getting Ichibas instead, they are also car specific/true hub centric aka matches your standard centerbore so they fit snug with 0 movement.

http://www.ichibausa.com/g35i351.html

[c.rusli]

+ 1 on ichiba
I use Ichiba on mine,
perfect fit for it hub centric and not that expensive either

[joshg123]

Have finished building the motor and will try to get it back in this weekend for Kuek. She certainly aint a loosey goosey 5km race motor.

It ended up with,

Wiseco Forgies 11:1 +020
All Machine work etc, didnt muck too much with heads
ACL race series Bearings and ACL thrust washers
ARP studs and Nuts
Nissan OE gasket set and sealant
Nissan OE rear main housing
Nissan OE water pump
Mushimomushroom brand thermostat
Z1 silicone oil cooler hoses

Big weekend on for me, 7 days and im out of the workshop and off to europe.... Hopefully goes back in the hole nice.

[Sully]

Don't give the keys back unless he signs a contract demanding skids!

[R3N]

Car's dropped off to Josh to work his magic. Hopefully have it running by next week if all goes to plan. Thanks to Gerrin... for cracking my front lip i swear it was perfect before he put it on the truck :p

Rims are still at the powdercoaters, one of their machines broke (no doubt after doing those dirty VX rims!) so will be done Monday or Tuesday. Ordered some vinyl overlays from the US. Brakes should be here early next week as well.

Next week shall be a big and busy week as everything starts coming together. Stay tuned. I'm very excite

And no skids cos I'm running in the engine (ricer excuse #251)

[R3N]

it's alive!.... that is all

[joshg123]

Yeah fired it up tonight, 50psi oil pressure, from cold at 2000rpm....

Still need to do a few little finish off bits but the majority is done,

12 hours was enough for a Saturday

[Fukushima]

burnout

well done josh, enjoy your holiday!

[joshg123]

Build is pretty much finished, bolted the charger on and reassembled radiator and front of car - I wish to stab the man who invented that charger kit.... Its a cool piece of kit but its soooo tight to get anything to fit nicely.

Took it for a bit of a drive, drives nice... Definatly needs to have the decel throttle value brought up if possible, everytime you stop the motor drops to 600rpm and the charger drive cogs make awefull noises. Also some new silicone on the charge pipes as the old ones have seen better days.

I left Kuek a little message for when he picks up the car on Tuesday night.

[monk_13]

DROP D!!

That is all.


:D

[monk_13]

Well, maybe not all... Invest in some good temp gauges. Oil and Water. I know you only want it as a cruiser, but still, keep a good eye on temps. They get very hot under the bonnet NA. Massively worse once you start forcing air into the motor.

[180SXTCY]

looking good kuek, i bet ur getting excited now to tie all the package together.

also good to see some arp head studs in there.

Agree 100%, and id also suggest adding a water level alarm and install it next to the bleed valve on the heater hose. These motors are soooo easy to get a airlock in them and not know about it.

[R3N]

Was just looking at a set of defis... sigh, my bank account does not like me at all atm :(

If its a V2 SQ they have straight cut gears and are known for their rattly type sound specially at idle

Thats actually not a bad idea at all Josh. I may have to look into it myself.

First time I did a coolant/hose change it took me forever to burp all the air out of the system. Front jacked right up, filling extremely slowly worked wonders the second time though.
