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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
