Mines a 2003 premium pack and I got it for let's say significantly less than 20k, auction grade 4 with 80k on it.

There's bargains around, don't check the sites email the importer directly

Tell me what you paid! I bought mine for $21,000 with 70,000km flat. I could of bought it for 19ish but i was stupid and just went for it.

Also, what does grade 4 mean?

Thanks fellas - that's positive then - hopefully leave some money in the tin for some tidy mods, after insurance that is - these things seem to be frighteningly expensive to insure!

The 2006's on carsales seem to all be mid 25s.....so hopefully can snag one for less. Pretty sure it's a buyers market - i know it's not a sellers market because my MPS isn't shifting as quickly as i'd like!

As for buyers guide, I was sort of looking for something that can help me to identify common problem areas - like areas to look for rust - common issues like i'm reading about the CD jamming, door locks, A/C control issues and fuel senders playing up, and VVT rattle.

Grade for is very good quality. Grade 5 is excellent. No marks or scratches.

Also beware 90% of people that advertise their car for sale has no idea how much it's actually worth. So take $3000 ish off whatever is advertised.

Insurance - LOL i pay $2200 a year. 21 years old, no accidents, lost licence 6 months for speeding. Live in low-medium risk area.

Add compression rod bushings to that list, they flog out piss easy. Get factory revised ones and swap them, they are great. Window motor goes easy, fuel gauge will also start to be incorrect each time you start the car. I filled mine up last night and it's still on 3/4 tank..

Few other things other people can add :)

Hey All,

I'm a newcomer to everything Nissan and in particular skylines.

I recently purchased a V36 (about 4 months ago now) and have been lurking in the background of this forum but finally decided to share some pics of my ride. It's completely stock but I have since put new tyres on the front and rear due to an incident with a nail.

I'm now sitting on 275/35's on the rear and 245/40's on the front.

Some of you may frown on the mix of the infiniti / skyline badges but I don't mind it so much. Hope you enjoy the pics (be gentle :))

Welcome Petar,

I sure do love the V36, such a good looking machine.

275/35 is a chunky ass tyre, make sure it doesn't throw your speedo out there is calculators online you can use to compare the tracks.

I do frown on the mix, but it's your car do what you want. I prefer debadged anyway :)

Thanks for the kind words.

I've added a page from the Infiniti manual for the wheel/tyre factory specs. I read up on this stuff on the myG37.com website as well since the guys in the US are right into this sort of stuff. Suffice to say, 275's are probably the widest you would go on the rear stock rims.

Regarding the badges, it's tough call but I'm glad that whoever owned the car in a previous life also added the infiniti badge to the steering wheel.

Hey all,

I'm new just signed up because today I decided my next car is going to be a V35. Just have some questions/wanted some advice?

Basically just is it best to get one from Australia or Import from Japan? I see people talking about all the extra/s that are optional now that its 2012 and i suspect they arent making these any more is that possible. Ive got about $20000-$25000. Really want a nice V35 manual with the leather seats etc and possibly put in a turbo after if that is possible/recommended?

Thoughts? I would love some input

Thanks James

Welcome to the group!

There are some good examples on car sales but it can also be a waiting game, waiting for the perfect one to pop up.

Some of the guys here are looking at selling, so that may be an option.

Where are you located?

Hi James welcome to the group,

Between 20 and 25k you can find an immaculate manual v35 with premium pack brembo's leather and bose sound.

I think signing up with importers would be a good idea or at least speaking to some and seeing what the word is in Japan and seeing how many are actually out there.

I've been stalking carsales for a few weeks now for Manual v35's that look tidy and i've found next to nothing. The same v35 with a gtr front bumper has been there since i bought my car.. 8 months ago. They certainly aren't selling fast but as Tony said it's a good idea to play the waiting game and look for a perfect one.

Post in V-Series Skylines and you'll receive some good feedback.

welcome mate - i have just been where you are and i'm very happy with my purchase.

i was looking for auto - which may or may not make a difference to the quality and availability of car- but after enquiring with some importers, i decided i was better off buying something landed. With the costs associated with importing these days, the wait, and the unknown factors of not being able to seen, hear, feel the car - i can't really see the benefits importing when there are plenty of cars landed, complied and tangible - for similar money if not less. But feel free to do your due diligence.

This is a nice car with some nice mods:

Welcome Lee and Im sure you will be happy with it. I had one of the first 2005 lakeshore blue coupes to arrive now I see a few around- in fact only today saw another one .Wondering if yours might be manufactured end of 2004 cause i didn't think that colour was available till early 05 ( could be wrong). Can't wait to see your pics

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
