Hey Guys,

Yep this has been brought up before, and is currently being discussed by the moderators.

At this stage it is being held off as there may be a reconfiguration of the For Sale section which could give you state and model listings at the press of a button.

Hopefully there will be more to advise soon, and I'll keep you guys updated.

Cheers

I believe if we have more sponsers in the thread we will have one pretty soon

however, we really need to have one for this model of car, becuz in the usa market, they really build up a very good reputation for this and having a lot of fun there....i believe if we have one for sale section to attract more business trades to bring as many parts as they can, it's gonna be a bigger market than other skyline models...

hope we really have one soon then i will stop looking TT kit in the US market and communicate with them at ver very slow procedure due to the day and night time difference....and the hassult like shipping or insurance issues won't come up anymore...

cheers

All Vendors are welcome to become paying advertisers on Skylines Australia. There is a special section for Vendors who do this.

I think the problem you're describing above has more to do with the amount of V35's in Australia rather than not having a specific vendor section for them. Again the new format should allow for model specific searching.

With so few cars, there is minimal constant demand for any specific products and thus few vendors are interested in paying to advertise for a handful of cars.

Personally I would love this to not be the case and would love parts to be available here. As an example I just paid $150 US shipping for a clutch and flywheel, and now need to get brake pads and a few other things.

My only advise is to try some Aussie 350Z suppliers. Another option is for us to start "lobbying" Aussie shops such as Just Jap, Unique Autosports etc etc to start stocking V35 parts. The only way they will do this is if they see there is a demand. So we need ring them first before we shop overseas. Of course it doesn't help when the parts are cheaper to ship from the US :-)

correct.

indeed. I import a lot of specific audio stuff for them as it is and most of it sits and gathers dust. now in comparison to other models most of that moves easily.

depends. most people ASSUME that things are the same between the car (G35,350Z) and in some cases they are not. audio/electronics is point and case. they look the same but its not.

as for lobbying. supply vs demand - no demand so no supply. give it a few years once these cars age a bit and things will be come more readily available.

agree with the point of USDM items being cheaper than JDM. I get this same problem in my industry.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
