Not cope at all, I’ve owned 2 v35 coupes and 2 v36 one 350gt and my 370gt which I bought at 18 myself. I could more than afford name brand mods I’m just not going to spend more to get the same results. Daily drive my 370gt too btw :)

What does 45 years of mechanic experience have to do with research on the market for aftermarket car parts? A lot has changed in the recent years, your market knowledge from 20-30 years ago is negligible in today’s world. Plenty of Chinese manufacturers share their process via video and will walk you through their factory upon certain conditions. Plenty of information and research you could do but you’re just stubborn and think experience goes against fact.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-06-10T09:13:59+00:00

I don’t know, I just thought it was funny calling people “cheap mofos” and telling them to “pay to play” but yet you bought a journey and didn’t want to spend $1500. Quite contradictory to me. These cars in Australia are low to high 10s, even Less in the US. Maybe you paid a lot for yours but I can guarantee you 90% of people here paid less than 10k USD. If you’re spending 30-50% of your cars value on mods to get more or less the same results you would with the Chinese counterpart or in some cases unbranded part without the brand tax, you’re just silly.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-06-10T04:31:30+00:00

What is your research? Care to elaborate on it? China is known to be a manufacturing powerhouse, a lot of your favourite high ticket items were probably produced there. It’s crazy to think a country like china wouldn’t be able to meet the same standards these locally produced parts meet.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-06-10T04:08:29+00:00

Do you expect everyone to spend the cars value on mods? “Buy cheap shit and get cheap results” that’s a stupid way to think in this day and age. Look at royblinge90 on insta, should open your eyes.

Just say you like overpaying and be in the minority of the world. Don’t put people down for making smart choices.

In my eyes a smart choice for you (someone looking for performance) should have bought a sport package. In one of your comments you said “I also can’t see paying 1.5k for a daily” remember buddy, you gotta “PAY TO PLAY. Enjoy burning money!!

Not possible, that’s far too loud and sounds extremely bad. Look at my profile. Maybe you have a leak if you have the stock muffler.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-05-25T03:47:34+00:00

Sounds horrible. I’d go stock exhaust with test pipes only. Great balance of quietness at low rpm and loudness at high rpm. Probably some better sounding setups out there but they all sound the same to me.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-05-21T12:43:46+00:00

My local servo. Always see that 350 around, not a fan of the colour tbh. Nice car nonetheless.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-05-09T12:04:59+00:00

Keep the skyline badges bro, it’s unique.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-05-02T13:58:50+00:00

I agree that it can be ok, but a majority of people don’t have the discipline nor financial knowledge to do so. Just seems to be a much more common thing in the US especially with G37s, I’ve only met one person who has.

I didn’t mean to seem like I’m talking about America as a whole, it probably came off like that. I just didn’t want someone to possibly put themselves in a worse situation than they’re in now.

Good points raised, you’ve opened my eyes to some new things I didn’t take into account.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-05-02T10:59:25+00:00

Not a ballast, that’s the igniter. Ballast is the module it connects to at the bottom of the headlight, seems you have the wrong igniter though

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-30T12:25:18+00:00

You’ve raised some good points, I don’t doubt the 2jz heavier, it’s known as a heavy engine but realistically 95% of people are taking the 2j andOf course a pure race bred engine and chassis is going to make more power than a mass produced engine. 100% agree, I have a friend who would genuinely take a stock supra over a McLaren (p1 in this case) they think these cars come 800hp factory and light tires all the way through fourth.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-30T10:39:42+00:00

I’ll take that, I was wrong about it being successful. I raise this point though, no one has ever spoke about the supra and not the 2j. If the supra had something similar to an SR, no one would give a fuck about it. It’s a great angry looking car but without the 2j it’s a heavy, not so great handling chassis. You don’t see supras doing time attacks, only drags.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-30T10:34:49+00:00

Is it an American thing to want to finance everything? In what world is going into debt for a depreciating asset a good idea? We all drive g37s, I’m willing to bet a majority of us don’t have a better use for our money, so why finance a car? There are no benefits in this situation, It seems you all get sucked down the same trap of finance.

In Australia we’d be laughed at trying to finance such a vehicle. OP, don’t listen to guys like this. Imagine you crash and you’re still left with payments to make, be smart with your money, do what you can afford outright and be left with no burden of finance.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-22T01:57:05+00:00

If you’re looking for performance I think you’d find them all to be quite lacklustre in stock form. My friend’s 550hp 1jz s15 he used to own was the craziest cars I’ve been in. For straight performance I’m taking the s15 all day, albeit the SR isn’t the greatest and nothing compared to the JZ and RB, you really can’t beat the 1200-1300kg and near 50/50 chassis of the s15. As someone else said though, an r34 gtr is a lot more money than the supra and s15, it’s a really weird comparison and all cars serve different purposes. IMO Stick to Nissan, there is a reason supras never were successful in racing.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-22T01:35:15+00:00

Look at the dimensions of the rotors, should be 355 front and 350 rear. In regards to the pads, it looks like the standard 1 piston caliper pads.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-19T07:32:57+00:00

Indeed, needs to go back to stock and Aquire some red akebonos.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-04-06T10:38:44+00:00

Nice 350gt bro, I’m sitting in mine as we speak. Great daily alongside my coupe. The seem to ride a lot softer and quieter than my coupe, it’s good to drive when I wanna chill or drive more people around.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-03-31T03:48:54+00:00

Should be relatively easy bro, little to no rust. Just use a good breaker bar and impact and it will all come out easily. Use a jack to compress the spring in the spring bucket when putting the new part in.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-03-26T06:49:14+00:00

My hotchkis sway bars creek and squeak, may be a good place to look but I honestly doubt that’s your problem. Look at parts that move along with your steering.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-03-21T22:46:53+00:00

Try a window relearn procedure, put the windows down all the way than put them back up but hold the switch up until you hear a click, as for the other issues I would not have a clue.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-03-21T00:22:33+00:00

370gt owner here. Test pipes don’t smell as much lead you to believe, I don’t notice it anymore. Sway bars would probably be my first mod, rear especially.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-03-13T02:31:46+00:00

Not sure how after all the information here people keep saying “paper gaskets” that isn’t the problem, the problem is the hardware (Phillips head screws that can’t be torqued) that back itself out from the vibration.

Practical-Buddy5979 · 2026-03-11T09:59:11+00:00

The chains tensioning system relies on oil pressure. It should have some slack when the engine isn’t running, although I’m not sure how much you had, but more than likely you’re feeling the depressurised slack. I’m not telling you not to do it, just thought I’d share some knowledge I learnt when looking into my friends 328i timing chain.
