Finally getting around to posting pictures. Here's my 250GT, with random Taiwan rims that need to be changed, and apparently, a West Coast Customs GFRP bumper. I have the skirts and rear bumper as well but I'm already having clearance issues with just the front being an inch lower, and the rear bumper was meant to fit on top of the USDM pedestrian friendly Infiniti bumpers.

Took awhile to get used to it but I love the front bumper now, and its great for my Injen CAI. No problems with water, even with the heavy rain here in Malaysia. Just gotta be smart about puddles of course.

Hey guys this is my 350gt...Had it for about a month now bought it from my old man who imported it pretty much new about 5 years ago (with 4000kms on the clock) so its been around for a little while now..But now its time to give it a bit of flare!

One minor setback is the day that i bought it of dad (no joke) i got hit by a massive hail storm on the highway through logan.. NOT Happy, currently waiting for the parts to come in from Japan.

will keep you guys updated!

I was trying to work out whether to replace my US sized QLD plate with a slimline for the front and your photos have convinced me its a good idea :D

Awesome car mate! I would be spewing about the hail thought

What spec is it? Auto or Manual? Premium/Non, Leather?

What are your plans for it?

Thanks man, yeah the v35's had real bad choice of woodgrain, some were too dark and some too light and all were just so out of place with the silver centre console. This ones is way better than my maxima's wood grain actually feels very solid.

Actually noticed it had the blue in it after I posted (was on the mobile..derr!). Very nice colour !. Its like a slightly deeper version of my V35 lakeshore blue.--People tell me it looks grey at night also !..

Nah mate you definitely did well..I know what you mean my V35 Lakeshore blue is similar- seems to morpha at night-looks grey/purple & in day silver blue. To me, in standard trim the V suites this kind of colour and the black more than anything and judging by the comments of friends and strangers, the first thing they say is the colour ! Sure if you change the car, lower it, flash wheels, etc the whites/greys/other come into their own. But this shade is majic as it is & still gets stares and thumbs up even when dirty !(just hides it so well too).Good luck !!

Yeah wasn't happy at all! um its the Premium auto..

Definate plans are:

- tint the driver and passanger windows so they blend in more

- change the grill to the 'open mouth' style grill

- a set of Varrstoen 2.2.2's in matt black

- exhaust system

- new suspension

haven't really looked at major engine mods as im unsure on the availability of parts in Aus.. but will keep you guys updated

You and me both

Twin Turbo kits available HERE

Plenty of options really, can even buy the Trust kit for 370Z and it's a DIRECT bolt in affair with no mods needed

EDIT

I'mn looking at buying V36 370GT so you guys with V35 obviously need to look at the 350Z or similar kits

OHH and 2nd EDIT

This is pretty much what my new one will look like (same wheels and same colour)

Just waiting for one to come up for sale in manual :thumbsup:

Please anybody out there can help me out. I'm looking for anyone in Sydney that have a scanner that could read the trouble codes on the V35 350GT-8 2002model thank you. I have problem with my transmission, it will not change gear after half an hour of driving.

WOW, sorry to tell you Keng Ly, but it will probably be cheaper for you to buy a new car than fix your CVT box .... once they have problems they are HUGE trouble .... search around the net for the dozens of horror stories on these gearboxes. It is the reason I didn't buy a CV8 - as much as they are great to drive ....

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
