Nice car there Mat! Is Kristian organising compliance for you interstate, or are you doing it here? If you need to borrow some stock rims to get it through let me know and you can borrow my stockies.

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!

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
