  2. Anyone doing these conversions in NSW yet?
  3. I bought my car from the same dealer as Ezy03 and after having had it for two months ,cannot find an indication that it has done more then the indicated klms. I have had two mates, one a detailer and one a mechanic, look at the car and they both say that the klms indicated appear genuine( 33,000) with no obvious signs of extreme wear. In saying this , I am in no way sticking up for the dealer, whose attitude was no better or worse than any other dealer. I noticed a comment in a thread earlier, questioning the price that the dealer paid for his cars and whether he could make a profit at his sale prices, well profit is calculated against costs and this dealer incurs little cost. As for lipped rotors that someone mentioned, my mate the mechanic works in an area with a lot of european car owners and says it is common for them to have lipped rotors between 25 - 40000 klms , so maybe on the series 1 v35's the brakes weren't up to scratch. A bit of history , I have had a S13 and a Soarer before my v35 and with the 91 - 08/93 Soarers there was a lot of problems with the holographic dash ,and Toyota replaced them under warranty, but did not update the klms on the new speedo, so a lot of unscrupulous people/dealers then sold the cars with less than their true klms on them and a reputation was born Read this CarsCampersVansTrucksHomeFinanceInsuranceAfter MarketAboutFAQsSpecialsContactSpecials September Specials!

Why should I buy from Import Auto Centre? A. Here at Import Auto Centre (IAC), we have been buying from Japan through the same agents for 15+ years. This has lead to a very trusting relationship and a good understanding of the high quality level of cars we require. We make direct contact daily with our agents and make trips to Japan several times a year which ensures only the best cars make their way into our Dealership floor. We believe our experience combined with our good quality vehicles and great service are the reasons why we have so many happy customers.Q. Why is the mileage so low? A. This is due to two main reasons, 1. Australia is physically 20 times bigger than Japan and far less populated. To put this into perspective, Japan physically is slightly larger than the state of Victoria and its population is approx. 127 million. 2. Japan has one of the most efficient public transport systems in the world with trains travelling up to 300km/h The average KMs travelled per year in Australia is 25-30,000km, where as in Japan it is around 5-7000km due mainly to the two reasons above. A car in Japan is seen more as a luxury than a necessity. This is not to say higher mileage cars do not exist in Japan, they do. We have always believed it is better to pay the little bit extra to secure a good, clean, low KM vehicle in Japan, especially when you are shipping the vehicle half way around the world! Q. Why buy a Japanese import vehicle over an Australian delivered vehicle? A. Many vehicles manufactured and sold new in Japan, especially the sports cars, were not available for sale new in Australia. More often than not, vehicles designed for the Japanese market have far more options and have more features standard than those designed for the Australian market, even though they may be from the same manufacturer. The extra options combined with the low prices due to the fast rate of depreciation make the Japanese vehicle a far more desirable option. We wouldn’t be bringing vehicles into Australia from Japan if we thought we could get the same car here for the same price here. The cars speak for themselves!Q. What are the availability of parts for these Japanese import vehicles? A. Parts availability for import vehicles has come a long way in recent years with many manufacturers and retailers now accommodating for the increasing import market with an array of new, used and aftermarket parts now available. We have a comprehensive list of part suppliers throughout Australia and Japan to ensure the part you need is never too far away should you ever be in need.Q. Do you offer warranty on these vehicles? A. Yes. All passenger vehicles come with a 12 month Australia wide comprehensive warranty.Q. Are imports any better quality than Australian released cars and why? A: Yes they are for several reasons:1. Japanese imports generally have lower mileage for the same equivalent year 2. The road conditions in Japan are much better and as a result you will find that the body of Japanese cars are in extremely good condition 3. Standard features in Japanese cars are normally optional extras in Australia. 4. There is literally no second-hand car market in Japan. Due to local laws cars must be maintained to exceptional standards and traded in for new vehicles to avoid excessive road taxes and insurance issues. Because of this Japanese drivers take great care in their cars and cars are generally only “one owner” cars direct from Japan.

  4. Scathing, thanks for the help, BTW love your car!
  5. Thanks for the info, I admit I didn't understand "offset" .No I dont want to make the car worse than stock , so I will keep looking, armed with better information.
  6. I have found a set of wheels that I like for my V35, 18x8.5 front , 18x9.5 rear + 38 offset allround. Is this offset OK? Will it cause "tramlining " or other problems? Any help appreciated
  7. Hey Guys, If you are in Newcastle , or nearby, ring Mark on 0419588000, he can supply a transponder key, with programming and cut to suit your car for $120 total. The key does not have buttons, you have to put it in your doorlock to get into the car, Or buy a button key from Nissan for about $350 and he can programme it. He has a code reader that reads the code from your car , so must see the car in person. BTW he is a professional locksmith and for the record ,I have one of his keys for my car
  8. HMM, I suggest you confirm prices by actually buying from Ebay, not just looking. These came fro Ebay US and cost $91AUD shipped,they are still brand new , so why shouldn't I try to get most of my money back. Thanks for the bump if nothing else
  9. As the topic says, I have a new set of clear front corner blinkers for sale. I purchased these from an Infiniti dealer in USA for JDM Skyline V35 which I have, on arrival they do not fit my car.When I looked at his ad again it said in smaller print, to suit 2003 - 2007 sedan only - my bad. Price $90.00 including post within Australia. If interested PM or 0425215085
  10. My 2 cents worth, I owned a 250rwkw single turbo Soarer before buying my V35, the Soarer was all power or no power whereas the V35 seems to have power on tap at all times, albeit less, but a lot more driveable. Very smooth , feels good on the road, just drove it from Newcastle to Canberra, got 29.91 mpg ( old speak) cant complain about that for 3.5L. I am an old fart - over fifty, have had 60% NCD since forever, yet my insurance is $1038.00 at Shannons, they say All Skylines are in the same insurance category. Final word , I love the car, 1000 times better to drive than the Soarer!
