I need this too - any idea of cost for parts?

... having strangers at traffic lights roll down their windows to talk tell you how hot your car is. It's also parking your car, going for a walk, and seeing some people you know perving on your car without knowing it's yours . Who else has had some moments like this which have totally justified your purchase (and made you realise just how good you look)?

3 Aston Martins driving together on the Tullamarine Fwy on Friday arvo - two DB9 Volantes (one green, one morone) and a Silver DBS with a tosser in the driver's seat. All had NSW plates.

Most definitely gearbox whine... it's a sound I've come to love

Haha

I like my badges!

Surely these are too easy to take care of with a baseball bat? Or even just pushing them over?

Still better on a manual

this has become slightly moot - some c*nt backed into my car whilst parked at my girlfriends over night. Will need to respray the bumper anyway :S

I could ask this elsewhere but I like us V35 people better I have a sticker on my rear bumper which came on the car from Japan. I want to remove it. I have tried to pick it off to no avail (just keeps breaking away in 1mm flecks). What should I use to help get it off?

The leather/suede interior and the BOSE system are a big step up from the standard, and don't really cost much more if you are buying at Auction.

Woooo. You and your 15 business days . I got the kit in the mail on Tuesday! See you at the next event

I'm kind of pissed about this... despite having signed up to SAU Vic on 4 August, I STILL haven't been given access to the Vic club events forum and couldn't get the details.

The Lexus IS250 is superb value - my parents picked up one of the limited edition X models recently and it is fully kitted out. Personally, I would still take a 370GT coupe over the Lexus, but if I was in the 4-door market it would be a harder decision. Maybe if we got the IS350 I would change my mind, but it would cost heaps more.

A kid in each arm! Too busy to see the beautiful V35 passing right by.

I will make the next one.. GF was making dinner Ant - I saw you and Nat on Glen Eira Rd on Saturday

The question was about fit and they would Nah you are right. You can also find them on yahoo.jp auctions, use Import Monster or something. Probably looking at $6-700ish/set deliverered if you are lucky. I was trying to keep it simple

They are 100% a direct replacement fit and there are sellers who will ship internationally.

I was looking at the 2006+ HIDs on ebay.com (USA) just today... The ones from the Infiniti G35 are the same (as they are the same car as the 350GT). They look pretty damn sexy, and don't cost that much in the scheme of things.

I thought this was the *best* number plate thread... most of these are pretty lame/tryhard

Great, I'm down as well. Now if we could just get the GPS maps and a TV PAL conversion and we would be set!

My first track day was on Saturday at Sandown and I'm happy to report I had an absolute blast! Props to Driver Dynamics, good instructors, Subway lunch and plenty of track time. My impressions of the V35: - The Brembo brakes are amazing... I went all day without issue whilst watching BMWs, Soarers, Astons etc smoking. - The car is pretty quick but not THAT quick... an MKV Golf GTI was able to keep up with me on the straights, S2000 was faster, but I was on par with a supercharged V8 Soarer! Blown away by a CLK500. - The stability control kicks in pretty early but is a definite lifesaver Vehicle aftermath: - A few stone chips on the front bar - The 6MT gearbox feels a tad looser (a good thing I think) - Developed a squeaking noise from the rear end when reversing and at low speed over bumps - any ideas? - Clutch and brakes are a tad lower but haven't quantified as yet I haven't had a chance to do a full engine inspection report because I haven't had a moment to think since. I will do so shortly and update.

Some pics that I took are attached... I have no idea where those other photos and videos are going to be posted. There is no indication on the Driver Dynamics website. I've developed some squeaking noises in the rear end, particularly when reversing - any ideas?

Awesome fun it was - I'm very pleased with how the V35 held up. The Brembos went on endlessly! See you next time. Is anyone posting pics?

I've been here for 4 days now... Since I've been here for work I haven't really ventured out of the middle of Kyoto city. the Skyline report card: - 1 R35 GTR in the Graphite colour (HOT!) - 1 R33 GTR with a carbon fibre diffuser kit - 0 V35 Coupes - 1 V35 Sedan and 2 V36 Sedans That's it. I'm rather disappointed. I've seen lots of LS460/600h, some CLS65 AMG, a G55 AMG, SL55 and Ferrari F355. I also haven't been able to locate a Nissan dealer (my google searches are futile). Does anyone know the closest one to Shijo Karasuma?
