For $90,000 seems a bit over priced although some decent photos might heap. Engine shots, brake setup, wheels, in daylight , in focus etc.

I'm also thinking of purchasing a v35 and was wondering more about how hard parts are to get.

It has the same engine as the 350z so for servicing/repairs can parts be bought from nissan?

Also with the ones that come with the tv screen, anyone know how hard it is to convert it to work here?

i just joined this forum. i have a 2006 350GT manual coupe arriving in March to NZ. They look awesome with kits. goto www.g35driver.com and look at the Picture Share forum, or view the thread called "Hot G Summer Pics" -Mike

The V35's are a different class of car to it's predecessors. They may still share the Skyline name, but where as the previous series skyines were turbo animals with a roaring straight 6, overall the V35 is more refined and more of a larger sports touring cruiser type car. The engine being of larger capacity is torquey and smooth, and the car overall is quite large and solid. IMO they're really nice, but, like I've said they're in a different class compared to the older model Skylines.

It comes down to what you want out of a car, and how much you're willing to spend on it.

v35s are awesome vehicles and to my knowledge there are 11 different models. Thanks to nissan fast many of the parts are easy to get hold of and are shared with other vehicles in the nissan range.

The V35 is indeed in a different class and a great progression if you ask me (or any other v35 owner).

Some of them can look very plain in stock form (in paticular the 250/300 4 doors) but with some bigger rims/ kit the car transforms. I was lucky enough to get the factory aero bodykit otherwise I was going for the wald kit (fantastic kit and now available in brisbane).

Also, any parts that fit a g35 will fit a v35 (which can help when looking for some performance parts).

But there are plenty of aftermarket performance parts available from japan...you just have to search (which is half the fun). My next purchase will be some tein coilovers for my gt-8.

As for the TV...I've searched and searched and I keep getting told it can't be done. Though I recently heard about some local guy who has vision through the screen but I'm not sure if its the stock tv but I'll be checking it next week. You can get the screen to play a picture but you require a box from the states that converts the nav connection to rcas.

I've got a dvd headunit and just went through this process

SO....can you use the DVD navigation system here with AUS maps or we can not

I don't think so.

I meet the same problem Want to use GPS in AUs with the JAP GPS unit on. But i Failed.

The audio guy give me w options:

1, Install a VDO unit in the "up-grovebox",and use the Stock screen to display, use the remote to control.

That cost me 1700, Consider I already get a TOM TOM G710 for $900, I just drop the option.

2, Install a DVD player in the "ip-grovebox", use the screen to display DVD film. ETC, that also need a lot of work because the screen seems in RGB input. That cost me about $800 with a S**T Brand unit.

I think this is what kleenbeats DID.

The result is : I give up.

What I am trying to do IS: Disconnect the TV unit , Used it harness to get a set of AV input.

Does any have any experience on that or anyone can get the Harness Manual for the audio syetem???

Please help me.

I Guess every one are looking for this things.

Give international motor group on parramatta road in Sydney a call. They advertise in Unique Cars as well if you need the phone number. I bought mine off them over a year ago and they said they would have the TV and NAV all sorted in a couple of months. So based on that conversation they should have had a working version for almost a year.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
