    Regretful Sale

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    The car looks nice, but I am not in the market to buy as I already have mine, so feel free to ignore my questions.

    How do you know that your mileage is genuine? I bought mine from a dealer with very low mileage, but I am sure it was wrong (due to the wear in the driver side carpet under the accelerator pedal). I am sure I have read someone mention a way to check?

    The best way to tell is the oxidation on the machined aluminium ABS module and the lip on the discs.

    I sold my car today and it is the first car that I am sad about selling.

    So this ends my association with SAu as I will access WRX and Golf GTi forums from now.

    Thanks to all those who helped me in SAu over the 5 years of owning my V35 and to the the guys who have developed and run the site - it is an excellent site and very beneficial to Skyline owners. Enjoy your Skylines!!!!

    guys cut him some slack...everyone knows you probably won't get the price you start at when selling online...gives room for low ballers. If he starts his price at 22k, some dickhead will probably offer him 18K.

    At the end of the day it will sell for whatever people are willing to pay or depends on how desperate the seller is.

    GL with the sale.

    I agree - it is stupid to start at a low price with no space to manoeuvre. I have just listed it and will adjust the price according to the response. Have already had a few enquiries.

    V3 Sedan Rear Bumper Required

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    hi guys,

    I have a v35 sedan 2003 model , i backed up to a pole and now the rear bumper is bent, i dont think nissan will have it as a spare they didnt even have the breaks...

    does any one know if it can be fixed? it has gone in 5-6 cm. if not where can i purchase one?

    there are plenty on ebay but those ones look worse than the one i already have .

    Regards

    Raymond

    Hi Raymond,

    I had the same problem and fixed it by using a hair dryer heating the dent and it gradually popped out. Even though the polymer is glass filled it responded to heat as most thermoplastics do - they have a memory and generally reform to the original formed shape. You will have a very slight crack in the paint but that can be fixed. Good luck

    V35 Replacement Bulb

    Try this place in the US for lights and globes - they are awesome to deal with and have excellent products and much cheaper than here:

    Oh and I forgot to mention DON"T remove the front bar - you will not get it back on correctly. Take the front wheels off and only remove the front guard protector - there is no need to remove the back one. Also there is no need to undo the screws at the bottom of the front one as you can get access to the lights by just pushing it aside. The only screw on the back protector you need to remove is the one at the top of the guard nearest the front protector. It is quite easy to do once you have done it - good luck!

    Problems With Fuel Gauge

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Hi Mate,

    I've also had this problem where I can only fill up to about 3/4 full. I can only ever fill up around 40L max.

    Also petrol gauge is all over the shop. Decides to move whenever she pleases.

    That is exactly what mine was doing and now it seems to be stable and accurate. When I cleaned the connections today I noticed that the tank was half full of fuel when the gauge indicated that it was nearly empty. I have only taken it for a short drive and it seems accurate now and doesn't go all over the place; I will have to wait and see if it is permanent but the US forums seem to think that this is a good fix.

    Problems With Fuel Gauge

    I think my gauge is stuffed as well I have some sort of air lock in the tank as the maximum I can put in is about 55 litres. Any clues on how to fix it???

    I fixed the fuel gauge problem and it was easy. All you have to do is clean the sliding connections on the 2 fuel floats.

    Take out the rear seat, expose the both openings to the 2 floats, withdraw the left float but just lift the right to expose the contacts and get a cotton bud to clean the sliding connections on both the floats. They don't seem dirty when you first see them but when you run the cotton bud over them you get a black oxide on the bud which is affecting the fuel gauge reading. Only takes about half hour.

    Audi Type Led Strips For Front Parkers

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    Iv got 8000k on mine and have not had any complaints or people flash me, i reckon 6000k should be fine. Odawise jus go 4 da factory HId ones.They round 4300k i think.

    The led strips I purchased from the US are good but not bright enough for daytime use in the strip parking lights. Has anyone replaced the 5W parking globes with high intensity LEDs so that the strip lights up during daytime driving?
