So I couldn't find a V35 specific one, and seeing as you guys have your own little community... might as well start one.

Spotted a white 350GT coupe driving up to, chucking a U-ey outside my dad's apartment and then parking opposite North Strathfield station in Sydney NSW.

Oldish looking bloke with greying/black receding hair driving :thumbsup:

what are you trying to say about the demographic of V35 drivers, Shan? :thumbsup:

yeah this is a good idea.. what's also a good idea is if we have our own for sale section like the stageas have!

R32/33/34's can interchange parts but we really can only get parts from other V35's so searchign through a whole FS forum for 1 thread isn't high-yield..

on a separate note, I saw a silver V35 sedan parked a few times in the Redcliffe Hospital while i was there for 4 weeks, anybody here?

I spotted a silver one lowered with silver rims off memory, on the M4 westbound about Wentworthville to M4 maccas we trailed together about 2 weeks ago. He had all his lights on during the day also. The gentleman had a moustache and stuck his whole arm out the sunroof to wave. Hehe.

a V Series FS section is very doable (would benefit 350Z owners, M35 owners and V35 and future 36 and 37 owners too). I'm in syd atm on hols, but once I'm back I'll make it happen.

Also what you guys could do with is a dedicated moderator... I was thinking scathing, cos he's already a mod on the 350Z forums, and he's quite active in this section... even though he only owns a 350z :P

excellent, thanks funky

could it be either placed as a subsection, or at least linked so that its at the top of the V35 section for easy access for us?

maybe we could make it a "for sale" and a "wanted to buy" section combined?

it is hard for us as nothing from R32/33/34 fits our cars (nor would we really want it to either!) but would benefit all those cars you mentioned, maybe even cima, fuga etc owners also

i second scathing as a moderator..

I'll set it up the same way I've done the Stagea and Cefiro For Sale Subsections... It'll actually be a subsection of the Classified section, but they're linked at the top of the the V Series forum... that way when people do a search in the "for sale section" the classifieds posts still appear.

While waiting at the traffic light coming out of Western Ring Rd, I spotted a silver V35 coupe today around 1:30pm on Western Hwy (Ballarat Rd) driving towards Caroline Springs...

I have seen a nice silver one, coupe version = very clean and smooth!

Also seen a 4 door and again silver from memory with a website advertising the place to buy the cars.

BTW there is a Nissan dealer in Blackburn and they have the INFINITI logo sign posted in the car yard. Hint... Must be able to get them in...

They WERE the only Infiniti dealer in Australia about 5 yrs ago, and failed, so Infiniti got out of Australia all together... These guys dont import cars, only sell Nissan stuff...

Right...

Was it cost of the car too much?

No market for it?

Did ppl realise INFINITI is just a Nissan and save the cash for that instead?

There was no market for it, plus Nissan already have an established market in Australia, no point marketing two different companies selling the same car...

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
