  1. Im sure the Kiwi's have come up with a few of these. Theres a drift car with the conversion, just cant remember which country its in, maybe UK
  2. I dont have any info for you, but I will watch this topic as im in a similar position in the whole "is it worth doing a Trans Swap over just selling it". My only difference might be that Im so sicking-ly in love with my car still, so I would do anything I could affordably to keep it for a long long time. I could get a straight answer out of the few Auto shops I had contacted, so lets hope you get the info you need. Cheers
  3. The lumpy old thing. Stock as a rock. Nearly replaced it with the 2.5 Vq Stagea Turbo, but the wife said she preferred this one. Glad she said that.

    Such a timeless shape, which I hope I can enjoy for many years to come.

  4. I think I saw this car on Carsales. I LOVE the sedan of the v35 and sometimes wish I had bought one instead of the coupe. I look forward to seeing what you do with this car and future mods. Im looking to have my Autobox replaced by a 6 speed, just havent found anyone who likes to work on these cars yet. Good luck with it. Cheers
  5. Damn then, I should've just bought a Commodore if thats the case...would've saved a bit of money. Woulda Shoulda Coulda. How about I just call it a Sports Car when no one else is around. Save the embarrassment. Im ready to do that major service you mentioned, if you feel ok with it I wouldn't mind knowing who you went with. Cant seem to find anyone down my way that I feel comfortable with. Cheers
  6. Thank you for your response ZX350, My story is very similar to yours, as you would have read, only just wish the woman I bought it off here would tell me the name of the people she bought it off (the importers). So I could also report them to RTA. Im sorry to hear you had also been lied to as a result of the odometer paperwork, I wonder if you also felt initially that the car was a fraud and in turn treated it as the offender like I had haha. I took it for its first drive after about 2.5 weeks last weekend, and for the first time since owning it (about 2 months now) I really gave it some. Normally I floor it when im on the Freeway just to do a wanker styled unnecessary over taking maneuver, but never really thrown it into corners and sliding it out with the VDC button off. Im not sure if it was in haste or animosity towards the car or who ever the f**khead was who wound it back for a profit, but I really REALLY enjoyed the car. I felt a real connection with it for the first time. Almost like ive dusted off the webs and dust and brought it to life. I think knowing its not a genuine "Low Km" car as advertised has given me a bit of that freedom I had when i used to tear about in my R31's. Anyhoo, Im hoping to find someone who can do the 40whp exhaust mod over the next few weeks and just have fun with it. We really did pick a lovely model of sports car! Cheers to us and all those who had their cars wound back! And all of us Skyline people.
  7. I also just got back from a cruise, so nice to be back in it after almost 2 weeks. Yeh turbos have been added to the list. Ill just have to tell her the extra power came from a new exhaust system haha ...and the money went to great charity?!!
  8. Hmmm new missus and Turbos or Happy Life Happy Wife and no turbos......what a dilemma haha
  9. Holy moly, I gotta admit that is not the type of money my missus would be happy about me spending. I would imagine if that was the price 10 years ago its likely to be even more now. That being said, THAT IS FRIKKIN AWESOME. I want it......holy shit. Ill give these guys a call anyways and see what they might charge for a full exhaust and filter upgrade. Cheers for the pics, now all I want is turbos.......after convincing myself I never needed a turbo Skyline in my old age!
  10. I couldnt find the result of the problem in this forum, whats happened to it in the end? I like how you used the "family sedan" trick on your partner too. Mine was more like "Family cruiser that the kids will love when we have them" haha
  11. Im keen also. Mines a white v35 and its been in my ownership about 2 months. Still very much in love with it too. I wonder if youre thinking exhausts a little bit yet?? or a LOT hehe EDIT; Too many Toos
  12. BEAUTIFUL!! So Jelly you got a manual one!
  13. !!!!! TWIN TURBO - Woah. May I ask how much that conversion cost you all up?
  14. Actually the thought did enter my head to do the sale of a Lowish KM v35 and act dumb when they ask if the Km's are genuine, however just like you said, this car feels great and there is a small possibility that I could get a genuine low KM car that has not been looked after. Its weird but since i found out the results of the Odometer search, I havent driven it. Almost like its paused in time until I make the decision to rebuild it or sell it. Im just now researching the best affordable way to rebuild the engine and add a few ponies. Cheers again for all the positive responses.
