Hello There,

All new to this group, lookin at the V35 sedan in the 8speed variety...

Any person own one of these tremedously sexy pieces of automotive art?

I dont own one, but I have driven one and they are a fantastic car to drive.

The 8-speed paddle shift transmission is awesome :ermm:

nice extractors, a good exhaust and an 8 speed paddle shift on the CVT, will have you feeling like you're driving an F1 car (just the way it sound when goin thru the gears).

Once they get to that sweet spot, the CVT just maintains it, and the car keeps pulling and pulling and pulling... when you put your foot down it's always at the optimal RPM.

Sooo awesome to drive... shame they don't do em in a coupe... I'd be tempted to buy a 350GT coupe if it came in a GT8 spec.

been thinking about buying one lately. but the one thing putting me off for the moment (apart from how they look) is the fear that no-one is going to know WTF to do when I bust the 8 speed CVT box, and when I find someone that does know it's going to cost mega $$$$ to fix.

Why stop at 8-speeds?

It's CVT- they could've programmed in 13 step points if they wanted :ermm:

The 4 doors just look soooo 'meh' compared to the coupes

Nissan obviously needed to add some incentive for people looking to choose this sedan over the myriad of others

V35s look a bit "narrow" in my opinion, and the sedan shell makes it look even more so.

With the coupe, if you choose the right wheels and bodykit, and lower it the right amount, you can make it look a lot wider and phatter/fatter. Haven't seen a kit/wheel/suspension combo on a sedan *yet* that does the same...

nah, james - kit is too overboard for my liking, and I'll pass on the chromies too.

Imagine it black, without the spoiler and with these rims:

Sex.

Thinking about it, it would be VERY affordable too.

$20k to import the sedan and $10k for kit + tyres + rims for a sexlexic VIP sedan.

Oh yeah, time for new pants. Just messed these ones :) Black, deep dish and a kit but the wife wants CVT8 so sedan it is. One step closer. The black 33 went in for panel and paint yesterday ready to sell.

Rich, stop stalking my favourite types of cars. Meh, at least you don't have a Lynx :laugh:

there hot cars

but they resemble a maxima in some way

maybe its the lights and shape

thats the only thing putting me off....

hhmmmm...

Thats the same opinion I have heard from some of my mates they took one look at the V35 and said is simply a maxima been cut down in size.

I dont mind the look of them but I prefer the original shape skylines R32->R34.

Guys,

I'm biting the bullet and trading up my GTS25T for a GT-8. This should happen in the next few weeks. Basically, I'm doing a lot of commuting now and am after an easy car to drive with better economy and hopefully some retained fun factor. I know I'll alway love and miss my R33 turbo. But cars get old and things need to change from time to time!

Standby for full report then.

I'm interested in getting the WALD bodykit for it.

Check it out....

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
