hi,

for those in japan, i wanted to ask you a question about car wreckers..

i've been looking for a part for my V35 skyline for a few weeks on yahoo auctions but not many standard/OEM parts seem to come up.

my question is: do they have many wreckers in japan (like justjap and the likes we have over here), that hold a heap of front cuts and happen to sell parts online like justjap do?

i was hoping i'd be able to source something very small from a V35 front cut from japan and it seems stupid waiting forever watching yahoo auctions for a part that seems like its never going to show up..!

i appreciate any help that anyone is able to provide :thumbsup:

cheers,

Warren

have you tried just buying it from nissan? if it's just a small part the associated costs with having someone buy it from a wrecker and send it to you here will be more than the value of the part. just ring nissan and order it :P easy.

yeah they could definitely get it. but you're right it could be quite expensive for something like that. I thought maybe you were after a small piece of interior trim or something. but it's worth asking them and finding out a price.

Hey not meaning to jack the thread but is there any wreckers who have a R34 GTR shell/chassis for sale? Mate needs one without any prior damage as his is a write off.

Saw one a couple of months ago. Gone now. Will keep an eye out.

looking for the stock paddle shifters from the V35 350GT-8 sedan if anyone sees them let me know via PM! thanks!

i know a person who might be able to help.

I have to check but ill be in touch if they have them.

buy the equivalent part off a G35 from the US. Shipping is a bit steep, but there's plenty of spare parts retailers where you can order online over there. Plus it's in english.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
