I would not buy it!

Appears like the basic bottom of the range Auto version of the car with a Nismo wheel only and then some other aftermarket stuff.

That car has been for sale for more than 12 months.

Note it is missing the cold air intake plastic from the front of the engine bay... not sure why you would deliberately remove this so I would assume accident damage?

Not sure on the yellow wires either...

Also they used to have good pictures but now the pictures offered are of totally random cars - not the same one - never trust someone who does this! (different wheels, one with a spoiler one without...)

Then there is now the picture of 3 cars??

I half think the guy has maybe sold the original car but has imported another or even 2 more and is trying to use his original add to sell the next couple - hence why the photos have changed.

One car (with the factory 18's) appears to be of a manual! The aftermarket wheels are fitted to the "Nismo" one - the Auto...

My 6 speed manual has more of a "sports edition" to it than that car - Nismo rear spoiler - the big one not a lip one nor the flat one, the nismo wheel and the front lip.

Funny that someone should mention this ad. I enquired about it and got no response, even sms-ed the guy. And, about 2 weeks ago, I saw a silver "Nismo" edition on ebay - strangely enough, another fraud!

Anyway, I am sick of hunting around for one, plus the Mrs wanted a "family car" so I went ahead and bought a 4 door with premium pack with factory bodykit lips/aprons...Should arrive in 3 weeks!

As to Ben Lippa of J-Spec, thanks mate for all your help with the Aristo. It's a shame to see me not follow through with it as I've opted for this V35 instead.

On another note, it is so difficult to find "bling bling" for the V35 Sedan. Things like bodykits, exhaust system, coil overs, etc are proving a problem for me. Any help would be good.

Hi Brembo's stopped with 04 models and were available as an option with 6MT coupes. 05-06 had Aluminum interior and slightly different dash . I think premium models have dual climate control and non-

One question no one has asked (only touched on in one post) LSD???

Is this just an option on the 6MT coupe and only a standard feature on the tracks? Or can I expect to find one with any of the coupe's like the brembo's and how they're ment to be a "track" feature but somehow every 6MT has them.

to find a sedan in manual is quite rare as it is, i don't think i have ever seen one with the brembo's thus i doubt it was offered

to find out for sure, why don;t you check out g35driver.com and see if brembo's were offered on the G35 sedan's that will gve you your answer quicker than we can

also, with regards to "premium" packs that are offered, you will findthat most people that advertise don;t even know what the options are. i have seen cars with premium being offered as standard, while others that have no leather being advertised as "premium".

Hey mate I have a 2003 v350 GT sedan 6sp manual non turbo wich does not have the brake upgrade.When I was looking for a 4 door I never found one with the big brakes and i looked all over the place.

Its from the Auction....... the people who bidded on this car for me at the auction told me it premium model cause its got 18s and comes with half leather..... but i never trust them from what they say.

I highly recommend checking out the car before making the purchase.

I agree that the best quality comes through main auction houses in Japan, however, why would you save couple of hundred dollars on a car that is worth more than $10k, that's just silly.

if any one interested to have their cars checked for FREE at the auction, please let me know!

hey guys just wondering why some coupes have the clear front left and right indicators and some are that orange? any difference?

The clear ones are after market indicators that we purchase from the US (mainly) to replace the standard orange ones.

As standard they all come with the orange side indicators.

cheers, mine came with factory momo, so no missing parts on the steering wheel, cant really notice the dual climate ctrl button... :D

Howdy, just brought 04 350gt premium that has factory momo stearing wheel. Collecting soon. BTW - how do you operate cruise control with momo wheel (does not have controls on wheel) I assume you can operate from an indicator stalk or something?

V35 Skylines never came with Cruise Control for coupes, i think you can retro fit it in Australia, but it was not offered in Japan by Nissan. The normal steering wheel button are for Audio Controls

I have only seen few V35 Skyline Sedan with radar guided cruise control, probably a hand me down option from Nissan Fuga(a.k.a Infinity M35 i think)

think 2005+ models also can play mp3's on cd.

2005+ USDM models can. JDM cannot. I actually dropped MP3 mech under a jap one a few years back for sh1ts and giggles.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
