Well after several years of very happy but expensive years of Z32 ownership I sold my black beast and bought a V35

It's a 2005 premium model with 6spd box. The clutch is stunningly difficult to get accustomed with, but I am trying.

...and of course it only came with one key and I have just read the post about $500 from Nissan :D

Also, no FM radio frequency match to Aus for the time being.

Only real bug bear is that when tried to fit my Enkei's there is a sixth gold "bolt" on the hub which I suppose is a locator for the Japanese stock wheels. Does anyone else have these and can they be removed?

Cheers

Geoff

apparently my fm works...but my channels are down 10...eg..mix 92.9 is 82.9 nova 93.7 is 83.7 so im able to listen to it? nice plates btw.

Depends what step down converter is installed. Some are 16 & 32 stepdown, some are 10 & 20. Mine's and yours should be the 10 & 20.

e.g. melbourne's 101.1 mix becomes 82.1, 101.9 fox becomes 81.9 (20 down) and vega 91.5 becomes 81.5 (10 down)

Re bolt - yes you can remove it. You actually have to, to fit aftermarket wheels. I had that prob with my SF Challenge when Bob Jane told me i had the wrong hub size. Took it home removed the bolt and all ok. :-)

Oh and nice car. Looooooove the white!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
