Well i finally finished my search and bought a 350GT.

I'd started out looking for a black late model premium coupe with a 6MT, but after months of searching, waiting for workshops and some entertaining adventures and almost buying a 05 series 2, i ended up with something a little different.

A Red Series 3 Premium Auto :D

06 model, grade 5A 19k km on the clock... the Mrs is very happy (its for her really and she wanted an auto all along).

I have to admit... for an auto its not half bad.

So now i just have to avoid tinkering too much, but that said, can does anyone know of any worth while mods? I've looked up and read the threads on pods, spacers and z tubes, but it seems this just gives minimal returns. Not only that but i read nissan revised the plenum design in the later models.

Now all i have to do is find a good translation of the S3 computer screens... anyone got any info on this yet? if not i might have some info in a few weeks.

I'll post some pics as soon as i get a dry day to take them.

Congratz Messiah!

I too recently took delivery of a auto 2006 V35 and am loving it. Do you know what the difference between the SII and SIII are and in which months the crossover happened?

The sIII has some styling updates ( i believe the tail lights and the projector head lamp are the most obvious) the sII interior looked much the same however, although the sII i looked at was a manual. Not too sure about the rest... i've seen premium - non premium comparisons but no series comparisons yet. If anyone has an sII in southern sydney i'd be happy to get together to compare and take notes.

I believe the cut over was 09/05ish... apparently the sII i looked at was right on the edge.

37k for mine.

What are the specs on yours?

Wow.. Not bad. Congrats dude, wana see that pics!

Oh mine is just a standard 2003 Premium - AT

Pretty standard just like yours, but ofcourse less special. Just have little mods here and there.

But im happy! =)

Thinking of selling ogz?

haha not as yet. im loving the ride now, but she just gets dirty to easily! hehehe. but no. after reading messiahs figure, ill have to wait a while.. which is far from my priority anyway. but if the price was slightly lower then why not! window shopping...

Hope things are well with your new car and your old V. meet up soon.

i should probably mention the guy originally wanted 42 for it... but dropped it a fair bit when he saw i was willing to take it that day.

So yeah... i was reeeeeaaallllyyy lucky.

got a ticket in it yet?

as for S2 vs S3 differences:

S3: factory bluetooth HF phone - works well as we saw that night.

revised menus in the navi/info system

lights front and rear.

electricals - different internally.

cutoff was 05/12 for the build dates

I have to admit that last friday was quite interesting from where we started to where we ended up. looking at a black manual then a balck auto then the red car.

actually when are we doing the rest of it? (cruise/alarm etc)

No ticket yet, but i've just plugged my credit card into it so that alyse can keep the fuel topped up after her lead footed antics.

Yeah it was a really interesting day, i plan to do a write up on it (infact i've been meaning to ask you if you mind me giving you a mention in a story for carsguide) but i havent had chance.

And i dont know how to thank you enough mate, you really did save the day.

As for the rest of it. I'm thinking mid next month if the slots open, i think you might have a big todo list tho, everything from dvd to nav to ipod to radio to alarm... say... can you do bluray??? (just because i'm childish).

What does everyone think... bluray hi-def on a 7inch screen??

happy to oblige, as for the mention, go for it. I want to proof read it first of course.

time wise - mid july. work out what you wnat and let me know - same rules :P

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
