Yep,

Unfortunately at the end of the day, I need to think long term and the money tied up in the car would do wonders for the loan.

Make an offer guys, if it's ridiculous, I'll let you know, if not we'll chat :-)

interesting to see you selling

especially since you just sold your other one to get this one!

there's nothing more behind the sale?

is it not meeting your needs as a daily or something?

i must say, its a very nice example of a V35..

Tell me about it mate.

I really like the car, and everytime i get in it i change my mind.

But at the end of the day, a big chunk off the loan now will be a massive help down the line.

I have met with Bobby previously and anyone looking to get into a 35 should put this one at the top of their list. The car is in fantastic condition, very well cared for, by an owner who actually cares about the car. This is everything you want.

Best of luck Bobby!

Cheers mate.

Appreciate the kind words. Don't make it too easy for someone to buy it :-)

I've been looking at G35.Driver a bit and starting to have second thoughts, as i can picture a nice Top Secret front bar on the car and a turbo kit to match :-)

Oh, and where are the pics of the car with the wheels?

Hey Waz,

Nothing more to it at all mate. I actually love the V35's and as said am in no rush to sell and really have no problem in keeping it. As a daily it's great. I have 2 young boys and the car can easily serve a family of 4, even when we head down the coast and fill it with toys.

At the end of the day, I have a young family and have just finsihed building my second new house, which has gone slightly over budget.

Putting on my reponsible long term hat, the money would simply be better spent on the loan rather than being tied up in the car.

I'm still a car freak at heart and will either move to a cheaper car like a neat 32 GTR for weekends only, or potentially a track only car.

SOLD!

Well, as of today I am officially V35-less.

Thought i would handle it ok, but pretty sad watching it head down the street for the last time.

Tomorrow I'm going to get my nuts removed, and will then buy a Mirage or something to go to and from work.

Sad to hear, but it's all for a good cause...

Mirage's a fun little car... not all that bad. Taking advantage of Mitsubishi's usually huge depreciation value you should be able to find something in good condition for a great price!

surprising you sold it so quick?

Hey Bobby

I feel for you. Everytime I part ways with a car I used to own, it feels like heart wrench. But looking after the family is important.

Hope you'll stay around in the forums; I'm sure everybody agrees that it wouldn't be the same without you.

Thanks Guys,

Being such a nice car it was definitely sad. The new owner was really wrapped so that was good. I've never seen someone smile so much when handing over large sums of cash :-)

I'll definitely be around, no plans on going anywhere. Have started the search for a weekend only GTR so won't be out of a Skyline for long.

Rianto, it sold sought of quick. It was just a matter of waiting for the right buyer.

With the TE37's on I sold it for around $40k.

Which i think was pretty good for an 04 with 60k's. It's why i tell people not to rush it unless your desperate, and hold your price.

My auto non premium, in 100% stock condition also sold for $40k last November.

It helps to though that both were genuine, very well looked after cars.

Gotta say, they're not the easiest car to sell, but at the same time, those interested know what they want, and have usually done a bit of reaserch on the car.

So whne they find a good example, they usually know it.

Mark, I made $6k on my auto :-), and lost a couple on the 6MT, considering i changed the clutch and stuff. But overall came out on top if you look at both cars.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      By r32-25t · Posted

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
