V35 progress
this is my v35 nismo s tune..
So far I've only done the chassis. I've switched wheels four times already. I've decided on 19" TE37's. I wasn't impressed by the stock bumper so I attacked it and inserted a 350z airdam: I've also made clear tail lights: ![]() Any suggestion on paint colour? |

Re: V35 progress
the front bumper looks good, but i think it needs something else, like a small scoop on eather side.

Re: V35 progress
Looking good, been wanting to see someone tune a G35.
BTW, I vote for the TE's too.

Re: V35 progress
I got stuck into the front bumper again.
I've put side scoops either side of air dam.. Took a bit of effort due to practically wrecking the whole thing.. I drilled two holes and they cracked the whole bumper in three, superglued it back together- so i saved it, its not too bad now. Then i inserted the side ducts, superglued them and left it on my speaker in the loungeroom. got up this morning and it was bonded to the speaker box! So i cut it off, damaged the speaker box, touched it upo with a black marker, most importantly the bumper was saved again. I've juts got to putty around the edges and sand it then I'll post a pic. I plan to slightly increase the rear gaurds, not sure about the side skirts. I'm also trying to finish a street r32 group n gtr (been going for 3 years), i'm restoring an f40 for the 4th time (i've had it since i was little) and i'm starting on a xanavi z with full engine detail (bonnet cut off, engine been engineered). |

Re: V35 progress
Sorry still no pics..
I just cut out a square u shape out of the bonnet/hood. this will be a nismo shaped vent. (like r33 gt-r le mans or top secret r34) I cut from the back of the hood with great (i think) results. I'll post pics tonight. i hadn't planned on taking it this far (the mods) but its turning out good. |

Re: V35 progress
Got some pics..
still needs some putty work. ![]() this is how i cut the bonnet. I measured what size i wanted to cut, drew it out on stiff cardboard, stuck it to underneath of bonnet. then i cut about 3/4 of the way through with a dremel following the straight edges of the card. finally i used a sharp knife #11 and cut through. ![]() I'm still to raise a lip around the bonnet vent. Doin this should result in clean edges all around. |
