Hey Guys (and girls),

I am Aaron, aka Cul, live on the Gold Coast, and work in Brisbane... I've long been a proformance V8 person, having owned a number of modified V8 Commodores, and Fords, but I am looking for something a little more subtle and economical for my next car - After spotting a 4 Door V35 on the freeway a few days ago, and since doing a Iittle reading am now hooked, and currently searching for a v35 sedan (300gt) or a coupe if the missus will let me :-)

So for now, while I ask stupid questions please dont bite. :-)

Welcome to SAU, Aaron (aka Cul. )

It will be a totally different car to the ones who drove before. Nevertheless, it's great you take notice of it.

Any questions for it, I am sure someone can help you out on this forum.

Good luck with the car and enjoy your stay.

Hey Peeps,

I'm in the process of importing a V35 350GT Coupe Premium 6spd through J-spec.

The 350GT is the car I have wanted since about 2006, so I'm pretty excited! (Got on the VQ bandwagon after owning an 5spd A32 maxima).

Given my current car puts out 120whp (its only a 1.6 4age 20v Blacktop)

The current car is an AE111 Levin (also imported through J-spec back in 2007)

Should get some more pics of my V35 later this week (it is still in Japan)

I live in Brissy and work in IT.

Have been told a few times I am to young to own a car like a V35 yet (I'm 24). Anyone get this reaction?

Welcome to SAU, Glen. Good choice.

I was 24 when I got mine. As long as you are not on your P, it will be fine.

[LineItUp]

Nah P plates were a looooong time ago.

I just meant the stereotype of it apparently being an old blokes car (Lies, all lies!)

Its just a shame the VQ30DET wasn't offered!

I love the gold GT-C's on yours mate, looks sweet!

Hi Glen, I think V35 suit all ages as it looks very different from previous Skyline ranges.

Thanks, Glen. I like it a lot too.

hi everyone,

just like to introduce myslf my name is Nick a.k.a The Rip, im a long time reader but a new member & a rookie at the forums so please forgive me

if i dont know the simple things,im already having trouble adding pics to this post so any help would be great,i have put up pics in the member gallery.

i guess i should tell you a little bit about my car that i have owned for a couple of months.

2005 premium coupe black on black 20inch Vertini Fairlady's & is looow!

just put on JWT pop charger & Motordyne plenum spacer,the sound is awesome,alot of friends say it sounds more like a v8 now,there is a nice gain in power aswell.

im about to get X-Force cat-back with hfc's this week,was looking alot at systems in USA & Japan but thought it was best to go local,if anyone has got an X-Force system it would be great to hear your feedback.

i look forward to meeting lots more V owners & getting advice & help to make sure i get the best from my car.

Thanks Nick

Hey there,

I have the Xforce system on my V....sounds great once the revs are past 3k to redline and noticeable torque gain from the mid range.

Are you getting your setup installed by a shop? I had a hard time fitting it to the stock cats but should be ok since you're getting HFCs.

hi there

thanx for the reply,im getting job done at a shop in west sydney. im happy with the jwt pop charger gains & sound but im really looking forward to

a very good gain in power with the x-force system & hfc's.this is the last big performance mod i will be doing,i would love to turbo the V but i think

its good to go with what came from the factory.

added some pics of the black beast.

Hey guys and gals,

My name is Joshua and I'm looking at purchasing a V35 in the near future possibly next week even as my previous vehicle is being written off due to a series of bad luck and just all out being cursed (2001 AU2 Falcon =/ ).

The particular model I am currently looking at is a 2001 V35 300GT Sedan with the 5sp Auto/Semi-Auto trans, at $13 000 with 60,000 km's on the car as a P-Plate car.

I have heard heaps of good things thus far but one thing i really wanted to question was if some sort of converter is required for wiring in an after market Headunit on the car, haven't been able to find any mention of it so I imagine it doesn't??

Thanks, Joshua.

How loud is it just driving around and doing 110kph on the highway?

Also one other question what kind of exhaust's are available in Aus for a 2001 300GT Sedan, if anyone can provide links, pricing etc it would be much appreciated and I live in QLD so exhaust places from QLD would be preffered unless I can get a bolt on one I can install myself.

[n15m0]

Welcome Kolossus....I used to have a 300GT as well and they were a nice little cruiser....

as for exhausts, there would be next to nothing available in australia off the shelf....it would need to be custom made.

Check out bolt on options from either the US or Japan.

[Kolossus]

Awesome thanks a ton N15m0, will probably look down the US avenue first due to our strong dollar I guess.

How about the Stereo issue? and does anyone in Aus sell double din facia's for them? (it won't have the premium pop up screen.)

[Kolossus]

i do bits/pieces for them. cost though may scare you

[Kolossus]

Don't say that =/ your scaring me already haha, but I think it may have a double din capable facia in it already I can't see it properly from the photo's but I will see when I go get it anyway. (Don't worry I'm not getting it without it getting checked out first I just live 600km's away from brissy so I can't just pop in and say "hi, let me see ya car!")

[Kolossus]

Picking up my 2002 V35 300GT tomorrow from the Gold Coast
