I thought I would ask what OEM parts would you think might be needed one day for the V35, aside from the usual items for any model car including panels, lights, gearbox's and motors has anybody had issues with little bits that Nissan have asked stupid money for that might be worth looking for while my mate is over their chasing down other V35 bits at the wrecking yards.

I am not saying I will be selling V35 bit's or that I will be taking orders or anything like that so don't PM me as I am not an SAU trader, it is just my mate has some important PV35 bits to source yes "kleenbeats" so he can kill two birds with one stone as it is better to ask what you might want.

headlights - they can look crap very quickly and for some that are beyond polishing might be worth getting a few sets including 06+ sets as upgrades

anything that was an OEM option/upgrade - TV screens, leather/suede seats

spare ballasts + globes for thsoe without them

wheels - 18" and 19" OEM upgrades

don't worry too much about engines/gearboxes as they are the same as 350z's (except the CVT-8 gearbox)

dash pieces seem to be holiding up ok but maybe some steering wheels for the future? or some centre consoled in case they get scratched up a bit?

some smalelr engine parts such as ECUs, coil packs, AFMs, etc that might be of worry well down into in the future

stock/aftermarket exhausts for when they start to rust in a few years..

does that help?

The OEM 350Z leather/heated/airbagged seats are, installed, $17K from your local Nissan dealer. If I remember correctly, the V35 coupe has airbag seats too.

If you can get them in on the cheap, with good quality to ensure the airbag works, they should sell to repairers well.

if you get in some of the OEM optional 19s (forged rays 5-spoke) with tyres i will definately take them off your hands - 100% guarantee!

I know where a set of those are :)

had my hands on that car today..

Your the man Nigel!!!! :rofl:

You could stock up on CVT-8 gearboxes for when these fail apparently are big $$ to replace...one of the main reasons I stayed clear of them.

Got a couple CVT-8's on order before worrying about spares but they are top of the list along with 4 and 5 speed.

headlights, OEM TV screens, wheels - 18" and 19" OEM, dash pieces, steering wheels, center console, ECUs, coil packs, AFMs and stock exhausts

These will come with the front and half cuts automatically, it isn't worth buying individually from another wrecking yard over their on the V35's.

don't worry too much about engines/gearboxes as they are the same as 350z's (except the CVT-8 gearbox).

Got 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 motors, 4 speed, 5 speed and 8 speed box's, also 350Z Auto Box is different enough so it cant be used in a V35 (it has already been tried).

Yes leather seats!

Sitting in containers to long so they get covered in mold, Jeff at C-Red has access to leather kits for complete replacement or the seat cover type, OEM Japan supplier from memory so good quality.

The OEM 350Z leather/heated/air bagged seats if you can get them in on the cheap, with good quality to ensure the airbag works, they should sell to repairers well.

People might of read some of my posts in the Stagea forum about Liability Insurance just on the subject of Muz's M35 Stagea and the emission tests so that is one item I would not touch with a Barge Poll.

get me a spare nav screen and buttons

Yes Chris just for you.

if you get in some of the OEM optional 19s (forged rays 5-spoke) with tyres i will definitely take them off your hands - 100% guarantee!

I want some myself so don't worry I know they are cool and wont last long.

We have to buy complete cars for a lot of these V35 parts to make it viable unless we are lucky so on the V35 it is mainly damaged cars, I bought an M35 Stagea as I will be complying them soon even though it is Non Turbo it is a tidy low klm car meaning viable to buy then to cut up for those odd bits.

We have been trying for over 12 months to buy damaged V35's for parts and it isn't easy, as we all know if they were that cheap every import wrecker will have parts in stock including CVT-8 gearbox's.

People will have to try Import Monster or Japan Parts for second hand or new OEM parts for now.

yeah OEM body parts like front lips.. i would like one of those :blush:

or even some 06 sport bumpers, the ones with the slightly different front opening on them.. i would definately take one of those!

Agree. I would 100% take either.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
