Guys I just wanna say its more than possible for a car to have low klms-obviously depending on age- mine had- 14400klms when I imported but it was only 20months old & compliers certified my odometer. Japan is a small tight place so 5-10000klm pa is prob the norm compaired to 10-20000 for most Aussies. Sure Ive seen some shockers also but there are usually some indicators ( plastics/ leathers, engine etc)

Ditto, my 2003 came into the country in 2008 with 19,000klm on the clock. Had log book and Jap auction papers to match. Also the interior/exterior condition of the car matched. Having said this, no one takes into consideration the time the car is spent actually running. The Japanese drive short distances but spend a long time doing so.............think about it. Imports should really have timers not speedometers :)

Hi Guys,

I just got my baby transported to the local wharf last week. I couldn't bare to wait for DETORS to drag their high heels lol :P so I elected to drive her home while I wait. Then return for the Sticker on a temporary unreg permit. I gave her a good soak and wash... :)

That is called the "fauve" interior. Factory option and looks very nice.

Thanks for that, my Chrome translator has always called it Fobu... different type of leather to the black and beige and manditory with the faux wood interior... So much better than the beige but strangely less popular..

Only ever saw one sedan with tan and cruise.... Gave up on both in the end..

Very happy with the overall look of the car for now. Would still like to drop it an inch or so but i'm not in any hurry.

Was wondering what they would look like on a V35, now I know that they look bloody fantastic!

So over the last few months I've been doing a few aesthetics changes to my V36...powder coated wheels, angel eyes in my headlights and blacked out roof and grille. Debating to black out the side mirrors and fully black grille or to leave it...? Thoughts?

Hello guys! First time posting, although signed up on this forum a while back.
Got my V35 Coupe MT December last year and it has been an amazing car so far!

Car is basic package (no satnav or BOSE) but seems it was lightly modified in Japan by the Japanese ower.
It has TEIN height adjustable coilovers and Fujitsubo Legalis R? (not sure) Y pipe and exhaust. According to

previous owner, ECU was modded in Japan too but speed limiter (180Km/h) not removed so maybe not...

Car has been alright in fuel and it makes average of 9.8L/100Km, 70% freeway 30% suburb drive.

Anyways, a quick and fun car to drive!

Changing my RAYS TE37 to SSR GTV03 that I bought in Japan last August! Took nearly 4 months to get them as the manufacturer in Japan needed to make them...

I brought the front two as check-in baggage first as the size was available but the rears where not ready when I came back from holidays from Japan. My aunt posted the rear wheels to me in Melbourne and it finally arrived yesterday! The TE37s are much lighter but change in the look counts too!

SSR GTV03 Matt Black

Front 18" 8.5J +22 (11Kg)

Rear 18" 9.5J +22 (11.20Kg)

Same as my TE37s to keep the current spec. Will fit them very soon! Just put some rim guard yesterday.

Currently using SUMITOMO HTR ZIII 245/40/18R on the front and 265/35/18R on the rear.

Not bad tyres for the price but the inner side of the rears are wearing badly due to slight camber.. ;[

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
