but thats not manual.

ha yeah i realise... its an auto with tiptronic.

overall there pretty nice. not too many of them around. they look good stock or dumped with a kit and wheels... nothing too over the top IMO

Output ranges from 240 hp to 301 hp (179 to 221 kW) and 246 lb·f to 287 lb·f (334 to 390 Nm). found on the web

Tiptronic has nothing on manual - might as well leave it in auto...?

Test drive it and see what the power is like... im curious to know what these things go like - looks nice

I went to see the one for $35, 500 bluddy good looking car better than what it looks in the picture. The thing i like about them is the front they look like a porsche. The lights on either side are pumped up.

I drove it they got some power the whole front launches when you give it. I wonder how they would sound with an exhaust, it sounded nice without one.

Always liked the sound of

i've been checking them out for awhile now & the more i look the more i like,they look schmick with a good body kit.

they also seem to be getting a bit cheaper to, 2003 on j-spec $29300,2004 $38600 2006 $49700,...yeh i'll have one... a black one.

nice, but id definately get a 350z over one, in essence the same car but the Z is sportier, not a luxo cruiser

The 350Z is lighter, is more likely to have Brembos, the handling is more direct, and the chassis is stronger (more bracing and spot welded). As a sports car, it does a better job.

However, sometimes having only 2 seats is a right pain in the pass. And the front seats in the V35 are heaps nicer. Its also a bit more isolated in terms of ride and sound dampening, which makes it great as a cruiser.

Most of the mods between the 350Z and V35 are interchangable (the only thing that isn't is the exhaust, given the extra length of the V35). Since these cars are getting very popular among the tuner set overseas (especially in Japan and the USA) you can get more power if you want.

I've been giving some serious thought to trading in my car and getting a V35 coupe. I'll see if I'm still as enthused about track work a few months down the track, or if I'm in more desperate need for rear seats.

FWIW

Looked at and drove a premium 6 speed manual version with the "handling kit" and Brembo's. Silver, low km, sat nav, leather, blah blah ...

Nice car, looks great, handles pretty well (for an allrounder type setup), not as much room inside as you would think and does not go anywhere near as hard as it looks in standard form (although I believe a few mods and they go much better - ie look at some of the TT kits from the US)

Decided to pass on it and ended up buying a GTR.

Nuff said.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
