Hi Guys,

I posted in the other newbie thread already but thought I'd introduce myself here under the V-Series section as well.

Sydney, female, working full time in the CBD and lives on the North Shore.

Got my V35 on Tuesday. Very happy with it but am having issues with the common audio system - my Bose was ripped out and was replaced with a Kenwood. When I questioned the dealer he said the Kenwood one is better, but who knows!

Anyways here I am. I'll probably have a lot of Qs but will try to find the answers in these forums before posting a redundant topic.

Other stuff about me: I'm pretty girly, likes fashion, nails, make ups and stuff. But at the same time I am a total tom boy. Loves fast cars, gaming (was a pretty hard core WoW raider, currently playing BFBC2). Travelling is my passion :D Works hard and am loving the new job.

I read in the other threads that females get treated poorly sometimes here. I hope I won't have to experience that and with me here is the deal - if you bite, be sure you can take a harder bite back.

Cheers,

T :)

Hey guys, not so much a newbie (joined back in '03), just a chap who has gotten another import. Back in 1998 I bought a 180sx which I had for 6 yrs. Later during that time I got done over hard core by dodgy mechanics, hated the 180sx and sold it in 2004. Bought myself a brand new corolla in '05, met a lass and got married, got a Camry last yr as a bigger car (no kids yet). The wife was keen to get rid of the Camry as she isn't really a fan and she knows I always had a soft spot for the imports. She agreed we could get another import but it had to have 4 doors. We looked at a few options and I initially wanted a JZX100 Chaser, problem is they are so dated looking now and the boot is tiny. Had a look at a few stagea's, Legnums and Gallants (hate under the bonnet) and also at V35 Skylines. I wanted a manual and picked out this one which I get in a few weeks (yet to be complianced). It is an '03 350GT, 6MT, I guess you could call it a base model as it has standard air con and no BOSE. It will do us just fine, for what we got it for over importing we wouldn't of saved much. It still has the plastic on the door sill metal trim pieces and only 1 key has been used the other key it still inits plastic. He had seat doilies (sp) but they were removed, I would have been keen to keep them.

I only have the link to carsales, I will decide wether to remove the trim or not when I get it. V35 Sedan

hi guys, I just got my 04 v35 a week ago, I was just wondering if anyone knows a mechanic around melbourne who specialize in V35 skyline.

my car is stalling when engine is cold, it will only go back normal operation when engine reaches the normal temperature.

it usually happen when tyhe sits for about 8 hours and when I dive it right away it stalls.

it is automatic not a manual. Anyone got the same problem I highly appreciate your help....

thanks..

jerom

Hey Raween,

Welcome on board. With regards to your questions:-

1) My car has that red blinking light and I also couldn't be sure if I have an immobiliser. But I got a guy who fixes alarm and reverse sensor to have a look while I was there installing my reverse sensor and he told me that there's an immobiliser in the car. Have a read at one thread about immobiliser and spare keys and hopefully it will help. As far as I know, someone suggested copying ur car key to a normal key and then try starting the car with ur original key far away. If it doesn't start, then u have a immobiliser.

2) Do you have a TV screen in the car? If you do, you should also have a DVD drive above ur glove compartment that is used to read the sat nav DVD. however, it's only for Japan so it's really of not much use.

Cheers!

Hi guys,

New to SAU. I'm Tarun, have had my V35 in Perth for around a year now.

Have already delved into the threads and have gained a substantial insight into the world of V35s! Thanks to all those responsible =D

Will definitely be on here more often,

Cheers

    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy. 
    • I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year. 
    • Hey guys, Purchased and drove up new wheels from Vic last weekend. Car never been registered in Aus before. Only thing was aware of was pod filter which reverted back to stock. Went to get blue slip in western sydney. Everything with car fine (compliance etc) and knocked back for coilovers. Was told illegal and need engineering cert. Called the certifier they recommended and was told at min $1000 to certify them. I was then told HP can STILL defect you even with them certified. All this was news to me. Is this just a case of deal with pay the $1000 and run the risk? Kind of nuts given the amount of people running with coils I know of. No one I know has OEMs to use to pass, either.
    • Welcome mate. Best Stagea is best Stagea. How is it driving a correct hand drive vehicle driving on the right? The Japanese do the opposite here and they've made parking boom gate ticket things on both sides to cater for LHD and RHD cars, as there's so many of them (mostly German but there are quite a few American cars too).
    • So of these and these, which ones have ethanol in them?
