I didn't see that well I was goin the other way and just caught glimpse through traffic

Series 2 is 06 with the Projector Headlights and sightly diff tail lights.(key in reverse light on left).

was that me , i live in engadine .

I dont know if i have a series two.

Someone else saw me and said series two as well. How do i know its a 03 model ?

almost forgot...

yesterday (Tue 23rd) spotted a white V35 coupe with some sort of thick boot spoiler on spencer st just across from GTA...

didn't catch a glimpse whether it was registered - either one of you guys here, or one of Gran Turismo Auto's sale stock just parked outside.

Spotted black sedan with led spot lights (Audi style led driving lights) on Clayton Road heading towards Princes Highway today around 7:30pm.

Also spotted silver sedan on Monash freeway heading towards the city at around 8pm with optional spot lights. Number plate was XQZEME or something similar.

Sped up to catch up to it and drove next to it, but could not see inside as the windows were tinted, left the freeway on Bourke Road exit.

Anyone from here?

this morning 8:15am spotted white v35 sedan on a'beckett & elizabeth corner in melbourne cbd at the traffic light.

that's me~its my daily route after work (graveyard shift)

as I spotted so many Vs on weekend trip in Sydney:

sunday - silver coupe in Syd CBD with black euro plate ends "777"

Monday - white/silver coupe in Syd Chinatown, on Hay St or Sussex st cant remember~

Tuesday- silver coupe near DFO Homebush with exhuast mods

- not sure if the same as the one above but coupe parked on the side of road near Strathfield station

glad to finally spotted a V in melbourne that is from this forum! I think most of other ones I spotted wasn't around here... there's lots of V owners out there that probably didn't realise this forum exist....

what sedan is yours? 250/300/350GT ?

I've spotting silver coupes :P much these day in city, blinked my headlight few times but behhhhhh, no response from the other V :(

I wanna get the large "SAU" sticker arond my V but not sure if i can get it without being the VSAU "membership"

  • 4 weeks later...

White 35 just after the air port tunnel heading north past the bp last week... complemented them on their car.

I was in the red S3 v35

Seen a few silvers on the drive between the city and capt cook bridge too.

this is gonna be tough cos i've never closely examined an S2 but.....

an 05 S2 i looked at buying didnt have HID projecter lamps

the onboard comp had a different gui

the tail lights looked a little different (i tihnk the S3 has some embossed circles around the indicater and break lamps where as the others are smooth but this is a guess)

gear stick looks different (this might be a s1 vs s2/3 difference) the gear boot on my car has single leather sheathed auth stick, and doush have the crooked gate with a plastic cover in the centre console.

I think there might be more but i've never had a chance to closely compare... would be good to get a comparison done tho.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
