180 wanabe

um they dont happen to look like they were made by a forklift....

iv wondered about the privacy glass, can we get defected for it? i mean its pretty dark! i would be keen to do the windows as well but dont want to draw too much attention from the boys in blue

Nice move from the Lexus As much as i would have liked to get a 6 speed, the price difference wasent worth it for me since im not going to take my car to the track + my girl can only drive auto performance wise my 5 speed auto threw down 170rwkw and BLISTIC 6 speed threw down 177rwkw so much of a muchness

looks nice mate one thing thats allways bugged me is how the hand break is on the left side not the right side of the gear stick... must be that US left hand drive influence

just a wild guess but have you checked your engine mounts? often if one of them is cracked or broken you can get interesting noises from the engine bay depending on the load the car is under

Iv had the lexus comment 2, other people think its a new Z car or a 350z, iv also had a fool say it was a 2 door maxima.... There are only 3 or 4 V35 coupes in Townsville up here in far north QLD. Iv only seen 1 other one on the road, the other was @ a workshop looking fresh off the boat with no rego or plates and the other was on carsales.com I also laugh when people @ the lights ask me if its turbo

well from what i have read on forum is that as long as you change the oil in the box @ the right times you should be ok, mind you the oil is super expensive for a full trans flush. The other problem is that not many people know how to fix the CVT auto if something goes wrong

wow what a mess of wires n stuff, i think ill keep mine all 2gether the way it is

guessing the mt on the ecu means no good 4 auto?

cant wait to have my display in english!

what is the stock rev limiter? on say a 03 coupe? mine seems to rev out to 7000 just fine even though the red line is 6500

I havent seen that nismo cluster before.... I thought the only nismo one for the V35 was this one

dam 4 500 id takem off u sucks 2 live in townsville

Id hate to know what those rims cost when they were new.... nice little bonus from the pervious owner in japan im pretty sure they are 19" x 11"

Got dish?

dam that sucks man I how hot is hot? my air con is working fine with the outside temp @ 37deg some days accoring to the car in Townsville

"This device comes complete with the correct chip already installed, ready for programming by your local dealer or locksmith. Your car is hooked up to a small, hand-held computer, and in seconds the process is complete" Now the thing that gets me if you havent allready read the spare key thread, is that its saying your car gets reprogrammed not the key? which i guess then makes your origonal key not work? Im interested as I need to get another key and I now have my BCM pin thanks to TomR33

i was sure they were 80? why is it that my fuel gage has 80 up the top? BTW i have a nismo dash

wish there was a race track up here in Townsville, even though mines an auto id still love to take it to a sprint session

well then come on guys need some more people to take their v35 to the strip and post up their times

there was a website which listed what models from what brand were safe to use on E10 petrol from what i remember all nissans from 2003+ are safe to use with e10

my old 180sx used to throw out 308rwkw and was good for a 12.2 second pass on street tyres down the quarter But after getting my Kawasaki ninja zx636 which stock std with my crappy riding pulled a 11.7 it dawned on me what I had been missing out on and I kind of felt a bit pissed off I had spent so much money on the 180sx V35 for pimping ZX636 for the kind of rush that only illegal drugs could come close to no disrespect to the CBR250RR as its a great bike if your licence wont let u get a bigger one but it would be like driving a stock XT falcon compared to R35GTR being a 600 or 1L bike

Take my advice If you just want to go fast rather than spending 10k on a turbo or SC kit + labour tune etc Buy a 2nd hand sports bike! EG R1 ZX10 or one of the 600's more than enough to make you glad the V35 is so refined and fine the way it is well in my opinion

Now that I think about it thanks to BLISTIC's dyno Id say that everything seems pretty normal Say the auto has a 20% deivetrain loss and the 6 speed has 15% loss "i know that there is no exact % figure with drivetrain loss" a 6 speed with @ 209kw @ the fly with 15% loss would = 177.65rwkw then an auto with 213 @ the fly thanks to a catback system @ 20% loss would = 170rwkw

I dont think that the cat back adds a heap to power to the VQ35 after all from what iv read the stock one is pretty free flowing although a bit heave in the weight department. Its not like a turbo engine where a better flowing zhust = less back pressure = more boost = more power
