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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
