hey everyone

it had infiniti badging, was a 2006 model, it only had cream seats front and rear [like out of anniversary ver] but the rest was black

def premium model and it was Auto too had 2 baby capsules in the car! lol

anyone from here? you car is very clean mate!

i like the front corner indicator you have on there now that i seen what they look like im going to order them instead of the flat style corners

Spotted a silver v35 coupe on the corner of logan & padstow road this afternoon. I was in the wifes white 300gt sedan.

Might have been me.... was running around fixing a friend's pc. Was it 1-2 or later I was out that way twice.

Personalised plates matching the car's colour? (don't post the details)

Nah didn't see plates. Was around midday, two guys in the front with windows down

Yep was probably me. I was in the lane to turn right onto Padstow.... Did a u-turn though. Note to self... turn off VDC before snapping into second, it stops the "No you don't" light.

Sorry mate I usually have a keen eye out for v35's. Was showing off as it was his first time in one. I am trying to convert him from the ways of the "dunny door". :thumbsup: Now that I know you are in the area I'll look out for you. Would have spotted the blue one in your sig for sure.

I saw a silver coupe today on the princess hwy around 4-5pm heading towards sutherland coming from the w'gong area . It looked standard , wheels , etc . I was wondering why all the back quarter windows are very dark tint and the front windows have no tint. Why dont people tint the front windows to match the back or go as legal as you can go all around. To me it looks like people started tinting the windows and ran out of money !

Thats called the factory privacy glass which is tinted in Japan and found on most imports nowadays.

It is indeed the factory privacy glass. Come standard in most mid-upper levell Japanese built cars.

We have that factory privacy glass on our RAV4 Cruiser (they're not installed on the basic CV, only on Cruiser and Cruiser-L with leather),

and of course on the V35 350GT premium.

In Japan it is illegal to tint the front windows even the slightest tint is illegal,

and therefore the privacy glass is only applied to the rear windows and windscreen.

You don't see them on locally built Toyotas like Camry or Aurion of course... because Australia don't have such rule.

Not my car, but thats the way thats the factory did it in Japan. Mine arrived like that also, but then i tinted the front ones. Heaps of Jap (and I am sure others too) cars have rear windows really tinted as standard, while front ones not so. Safety reasons I guess.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
