    I recently sold my 300GT Sedan and got my dream machine - awesome blue 6 speed manual with mad sound exhaust and brembo breaks... trouble is I have recently moved interstate and need to buy a house (bloody interest rates!). WOULD NOT SELL THIS WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF BUYING IT IF I COULD HELP IT!! Cleaned every weekend and have added clear blinkers in bumper since photos.

    I would like to trade on a 300/350GT Sedan, or sell outright - dammit this house had better be worth it (O_o)

    + Tein s-tech springs, new unused, didn't get them in.

    I don't think we will loose her dulcet tones........ what are you doing that she talks to you? LOL.

    The only time she talks to me is when i try to run out of fuel i the quest to fill up on Tuesday.

    My '01 300GT Premium had her tell me a standard safe driving type of message when I hit the top left button under screen. I also got a noticably slower voice when I hit the nanny meter at 180km/h - always cracked me up - it was like she was talking me off a ledge LOL Where as the normal snappy voice when needing fuel!

    How Cheap Can A Coupe Be Had?

    I see the V35 prices to have come down in a predictable gradient. I got my first 300GT Auto Sedan in 2005 for little over 25k (Premium with beige leather). I've waited this long to get the 350GT 6speed Coupe (I wished for back then) in 2008 for a little over 30k. The more there are in Australia makes it easier to insure and get finance etc (now there's a redbook value), but I don't see a massive drop lately - like I said I've been waiting for years to get a manual coupe and watch their prices regularly. I also waited with baited breath back when these could first come in and waited to pounce on the right one.

    If your seeing large price differences I would be looking at ensuring the k's are correct (to good to be true usually is). I've found very light repair work on both my V35's - none of which was on the Jap report. My first 300GT had what was most likely the original oil! Like NISMO is saying - they are not petted like kittens over there before sold at auction (and auto/body repairs are usually poor quality).

    I sure wish I had service history - for some strange reason they seem missing a lot of the time!!

    I am speaking on behalf of the guys in Russia who are doing the converting and this is what they have indicated so far.

    Hay Andy, so will the Russian converstion also convert the Japanese voice? Actually it would be a shame to take the mystery out of her LOL

    Those are very weak offsets for a coupe...more suited to sedans..you should take advantage of coupe guards as they can take most GTR offsets. ie +15, +20

    Hay thanks for tip... I was thinking of spacers as I like the wheels (had picked them out for my 300GT Sedan - but sold it for the Coupe). Thinking of 20mm spacers front and rear - making them +20(8.5"), +25(9.5")... stock are +30 I think. But your saying +15, +20... these fill up the guards nicely I take it? Would I need any rolling with the staggered wheels? Like to fill the guards like pic of Spikey's ;)

    no, that's a tein s-tech spring with tokico shocks.

    Hi Spikey,

    I upgraded my silver 300GT Sedan for a blue 350GT manual 6speed coupe - cannot say enough about how seriously happy I am :D

    I have picked up the Tein s-tech's from 'Blitz_boy' (thanks man), now for the shocks... can you tell me the part number or info on your tokico shocks? Your drop looks exactly like what I'm after! Nice one!!

    are yo mechanical ? if so flick me a PM :)

    Hi Chris,

    I've finnaly taken my road trip and have made the permanent move up to Brissy from Sydney - moved to the Bay Side, I do need to catch up with you now I'm here and plan my attack as I will be keeping my current v35 for a while (pinning to upgrade to a 350 coupe... one day :D ).

    My requirements are:

    * 19" wheels

    * lowered springs and new shocks

    * GPS and this cool ipod integration

    That should keep me interested in my old 300GT for a while :)

    Hi Guys,

    New here - awesome forum!

    Have a niggling question... the side mirrors on my v35 used to fold away when I locked the car, but they havn't done that for a long time now. There is a manual switch to make it happen - but anyone know how to set it back to automatically happen when I lock the car? That was sooo cool :D

    Thanks.
