  1. Thanks. Here are some pics, hopefully they will be helpful. I have read some posts on g35driver of people using 9.5 wide rims with 0 offset, and can't really understand how they can get them to fit?
  2. just after some advice, I have the 18in Nissan rims with 245/45r18 tyres on the rear of my 2005 sedan. the top of the right tyre sits almost exactly flush with the outer edge of the guard, but the top of the left tyre protrudes slightly from the guard. It is only about 10mm, so nothing significant. I am going to get it checked and aligned by a suspension shop, but just want to check if is normal for the 18in factory rims to sit this far out? I can't see how it could be lowered too much without the tyres hitting the guards unless I add a bit of negative camber. the front tyres seem to sit further in, in relation to the front guards.
  3. Just sorted out insurance for my 2005 350GT sedan today. 36 yr old male, no accident/claim history, clean driving record. Just cars quoted $885 with excess adjusted to $600 (to match NRMA), called NRMA and they gave me $775(approx, can't recall exact figure), and also incresed the insured amount to match Just Car's agreed value. The only down side is they couldn't include windscreen cover on the quote, but they said once the policy is paid, I can call up and add windscreen cover for $60.
  4. Sorry if this has been asked before.. I am just new here and still trying to find my way around properly. Does anyone know if it is possible to fit the G35 MP3 CD player/head unit into a V35? I have searched the forums and I can only find one thread with a suggestion that it 'could' be done, but nothing about anyone actually doing it. After considering the iPod interface, and an aftermarket head unit, and being turned off by the price, I would be happy just to be able to play MP3 CDs, and the G35 Bose head unit can do that. They seem to pop up for sale on g35driver fairly often, for around US$130-180. I just want to know if they are a 'plug and play' option for the V35, and will the steering wheel controls still work? I have a 2005 model without Nav and would look for a G35 head unit from a 2005-2006 model. Thanks in Advance.
  5. Nice. I have been trying to decide if I should go with an aftermarket head unit or get the iPod interface. I know the iPod I/F would be cheaper, but I like the idea of a reverse camera and bluetooth HF. Just wondering why you went with the non-dual zone AC controls? Can't you buy the controls to suit the dual zone setup? Also, what else was required to interface to the factory bose amps? You said you didn't like the Metra and just used the factory harness. Did you need anything else, other than the double DIN surround and AC control unit?
  6. Have been lurking here for a while, as I have been planning on buying a V35 for a while, but the recent death of my J30 Maxima has rushed things along a bit. I have just paid a deposit on a 2005 350GT 6sp Sedan. So I thought i would introduce myself a bit. I decided to retire the J30 after snapping the crankshaft snout, it has just under 300,000km on it and is over 18 years old. We also have a 2007 J31 Maxima that my wife normally drives. I had a mechanical inspection on the V35 before paying the deposit, the only thing I need to look into is new drive/accessory belts. I believe these are the same as the 350z, so I will try to get hold of some soon. Looking forward to participating in some of the discussions, hopefully I will be able to make some positive input.
  7. Very nice, I think I would be tempted if it was located a bit closer (NQ). Good luck with the sale, it is good to see you have put a realistic price on it, unlike another one for sale here!
  8. Guessing it is this one. (auto) carsales
  9. Was thinking the same thing, if it is a 4dr auto, then 20-22k, a 6sp manual coupe, maybe 24-26k if it is in perfect condition. there is a white 2005 6sp coupe on carsales with 26,000km for $26k, claimed to be in 'as new' condition.
  10. Just saying Hi, I live in Townsville, North Qld. I currently have a J30 Maxima, and have recently purchased a 2007 J31 Maxima for a Family car (wife's car), and have been impressed with the VQ35 engine. The old J30 has a few years on it now, so it is about time to upgrade, since I am 36 now, I am looking for something that has reasonable preformance, but doesn't scream 'mid life crisis' so I am thinking about a V35 Skyline 350GT, 6sp sedan. Looking forward to doing some research on here and sharing where I can.
