Hey all. I've already posted up in the main newbies section, but thought I'd post here too 'coz this is where I'll likely spend most of my time.

The name's Jacob, I live in Sydney's inner west, and I just bought an '03 V35 coupe, with six speed and Brembos, just shy of 103xxx k's. Pretty sure it's the premium pack, as I have full black leather, dual zone climate control (though AC needs a re-gas, I'm told) and Bose audio. Doesn't have the sunroof though :(

Current mods are: 20 inch rims (which I'm undecided if I like), compressed stock springs (I've been told they were taken out and heated in a furnace for this, not done on the car thank god), cat-back exhaust, and dual DIN alpine DVD head unit to replace the pop-up TV.

From what I can tell, the car's never had the CAS issue, though the driver's door rattles a bit sometimes and the headlights are pretty faded, but besides that and the AC, I'm quite happy with it :)

EDIT: I've noticed that the tacho on this thing is lazy as hell, from what I've researched this seems to be the first instance of this I've found, anyone else heard of or experienced this?

Cool, thumbs up!

Compressed springs sounds like a recipe for disaster to me (TBH I don't know anything about them). First thing I'd be doing is buying some good springs, like Eibach or Swift!

Thanks mate :)

Yeah I was a little concerned when I read compressed springs, but the last owner has had the car for a year without issue. I am looking into getting 350z springs, as they are a tad lower than stock I understand.

Hi Jetwreck- that looks exactly like mine!. (Before the mods). Sounds like your preparing a weapon!. Mine untouched for 8 years (came with Impul chip & lip spoiler, fujitsubu exhaust). Annoying week off the road -Getting a new radiator and fans(fans are rare as hens teeth).. Good luck with the mods.. Let us know how she rolls when it launches!

Hey people,

Just recently purchased a 2003 V35 350GT from a Japanese auction through Iron Chef Imports. :)

It's a manual transmission, premium model, 80,000 km. It's in excellent condition inside and out, except for a few minor things such as scratches on the wheels which will be seen to once it arrives. Very happy with my purchase, but won't see it for about 10 weeks. Oh the pain! A few photos are below, I was also sent many more detailed photos from the import agent. Once it arrives I'll post a few "Fresh from Japan" pics in the appropriate thread. ;)

Only downside is no TV/Nav, which by itself isn't a big deal, but I was hoping to get a Nismo instrument cluster which apparently only works with the TV/Navigation package. Oh well, can't have everything!

If you see me around in Adelaide, feel free to say hey!

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
