Hi V35 people,

Great to see an australian v35 forum.

I was planning to pick up a v35 tomorrow and had an inspection report done by state roads. They rekon that the passenger window is not working properly as it goes back down a bit after hitting the top. The owner rekons this is normal.

Yes this is normal, its a safety/security feature on a lot of new jap and most european luxury cars which ensures that the window is sealed.. State roads don't know what they are talking about. Congrats on the purchase :)

Both passenger and driver's windows should drop a little when opened and raise up to seal below the turret moulding when closed; otherwise the glass hits the moulding when you close the door. As I have mentioned i have been having trouble with my driver's door power window and when it was stuck up it was difficult to close the door because the glass hit.

Got it fixed today (hopefully!!) and they think it was the module (or relay I think) driving the motor.

Also found out about the fuel door because I checked a few cars while there; as mentioned before when the car is locked so is the fuel door; when the car is unlocked the fuel door is pressed to open. Some of the cars I checked, the fuel door sprung open when I held the open button on the key - weird!

It was done under warranty so I don't know what it cost; done by E&M Unique Motors, 21 Parramatta Rd, Fivedock Phone 02 9799 9333. See the owner Michael who is honest, helpful and courteous

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
