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?

Spotted a silver V35 in my side mirror today driving along Logan Rd heading to Garden City...you were turning into Newnham Rd..

Also last week, spotted a V35 coupe in my identical lakeshore blue color travelling along padstow road...it was a lady driver..

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.

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...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
