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!

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
