Posted in 'the gallery', but didn't receive any responses, so guessed that i had posted in the wrong thread... Just picked up a V36 370 a couple of weeks ago. Finally decided to replace my 4door R32

Heya guys.,

My names Zac.

Have been a fan on the V35s for a long time but never bought one.

Imported a few toyota Celsiors for my self and had a blastin Toyota Aristo.

I used to work for SVi (5 1/2 years) and every time i drove a V35 for a client or imported on I feel deeper and deeper in love.

I have jsut sold the aristo and im going through the Auctions as we speak to import a Clean example.

once I get one at auction ill put up all the info.

Hey Guys,

I have just imported a Silver 06 V35 5AT with 12k on the clock. I should see it this week and I have new rims, and clear indicators and double din console replacement part sitting in lounge room waiting to go on. It should be an interesting change from my previous R33 GTR.

When I get it I hope to get it lowered a bit, add cruise control and hopefully put a supercharger in (if the auto transmission can handle it).

Hi everyone,

I've been reading the (very helpful) posts for 6 mths and thought i should stop being a passive observer. I picked up a bargain priced V35 back in Aug 08 just prior to the dollar plummeting. Dodged a major price hike! I have a 2003 V35 Coupe in silver. It's the 70th Anniversary edition with the beige full-leather interior. Had only 11700 km's when i got it. (still had that new car smell). Best car i've ever owned, although my previous cars were very average. Only thing i've noticed with the car is i get alot of road noise in the cabin, especially at approx 40kph or 70kph. I've had the alignment looked at and the guy reckons i just have noisy tires. Anyone else had something similar to this?

Welcome HicksV35!!

I've also noticed the noise in my V35, as did my mechanic. He suggested that it was also tyre related and put it down to "Cheap" tyres that are on the car... These were the tyres that came with the car and they haven't required changing as yet.. So until i change my tyres i won't know if this is the case... Has any1 else had this problem and resolved it with better quality tyres or by any other means?

Dwain & Hicks V35--Dont sweat it guys it will be tyres.

My car was quite as a mouse when the new tyres went on with compliance. (Got Fact 19's 40 series) Nankang the directional unfortunately). Aspect ratio 40/45 depending on 18's or 19's will make slight diff.

After they wore in (4000+k's) it was noisy as sin. Rotated them at 10000 they were bit better. But aside of that mild fujitsubu exhaust note--there is not creaks, no rattles, and no wind noise and I've had mine off the dial !..(11/05 6mt. ).Will be getting better tyres soon. Search out Tyres thread on this.

Welcome and good luck with your new rides--you wont look back !

Cheers

Elie

Thanks for the reply Dwini.

Always more comforting knowing you're not the only one with a particular problem. My car also has the original tires. I'm assuming due to the v low km's when i got it that the originals passed the compliancing. Will do the same as you and wait until i put new one's on and see what happens. Until then i'll turn up the volume on the stereo. (or maybe i'll smash my credit card and get a new set of 19's instead)

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
