Cheers Andrew! Thanks for the offer :) I'm pretty sure he's organizing it interstate I think but if he does it here I'll let you know!

All 4 wheels are on now and I am fairly happy with the result, Rears do tuck in a fair bit but after all they where brought for my old maxima. Might look at lowering it onto 350z springs next and then might consider buying a new set of wheels to fit the car a bit better.P4110925_zps692ce8f3.jpg

^^ I look forward to selling you a Urethane Nismo front bumper bar very soon when you break your lip and rip your stock bar off :) .... the low life sucks without Urethane - I bend and scrape mine all the time and it just pops back into shape :) :) :)

Hi guys, one of my mates wants to get a V35 as well seeing mine. We went to Nagoya motors near Sutherland, NSW and saw quite a few V35s in different colors. I was surprised at the price as it seemed too low for the low kilometers. Most of them had around 40k-50k kms, where as I got my V35 a few weeks back from a different dealer but reliable and who i personally know, a few grand pricier with much higher kms (80k) with genuine japanese documents. (although mine did come with HID xenon lights and Fujitsubu performance exhaust). My understanding was that cars with such low kms would be quite expensive and not definitely $15k-$16k. Prestige imports who only import cars on order basis (they only collect the agency fee, everything else is paid by buyer) told me that genuine cars with such low KMs would cost higher in the auction and as a result the final price paid in Australia would be much higher. I wonder if those cars at Nagoya motors are clocked back.

I had a similar experience when shopping around for my V36. Some incredibly low kms (27,000 in one instance), but no paperwork to prove the veracity of the claims. I became wary, especially after reading about how common this 'winding back' of kms is. Finally found Road & Track in Silverwater, Sydney. The manager there, Gavin, only sells cars with all of the relevant Japanese paperwork. Provides much more comfort when laying out a significant sum of money!

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
