Danny105,

Don't go rushing out and buying a spoiler. There's usually a couple of people floating around who are looking to get rid of their spoiler for a cleaner look. (not me.. i love my spoiler). I've seen a few people swap the bootlids on their cars on this forum to get the look they want. Could save you a couple of grand if you're patient. And in that time, the spoiler may grow on you..

ok....just an update on my search for a v35 (not that anyone's interested)

I test drove another auto coupe again today and the only thing I can say is that I was totally wrong about the acceleration. I now think that the other 2 which I test drove at the dealers were either repaird damage...or severly lacking in compression

this car i drove was a rocket. It propelled this huge 1500kg+ lump from 0 to illegal faster than ...well faster than i could realise I was above the 70km/h speed limit.

cornering was superb....ride comfort was like driving my favourite sofa (minus the pack of chips)....just hope my finance gets approved coz Esanda doesnt want to touch it...and banks want credit card interest rates for it :D

any advice on the best place to get a loan would be appreciated ( I need about 13k ..if that matters)

oh ..and i know I've asked this same Q from different angles (yes i am a retard) ....but is it possible to get an aftermarket DVD Changer to replace the Jap spec one and have this play DVD/CDrws on the screen??

and the digital display on this car showed 8.8l/100km and had just the stem of the leaf in green?? ..is this normal? can u trick the system into showing this?

told ya, even if V35 are slower than 350Z, the autos in these cars ain't that slow.

they've got good balance almost 50:50 weight distribution, I think it's 52:48 front to rear for the coupe.

easiest I think for dvd player is having a 3rd party changer in the boot and route the av input into the oem tv's aux input.

that is if you don't want any local tv. with a local tv tuner, normally it goes into the tv tuners' extra aux input then goes into

the factory's aux...

it can be done.

I went through St George and the rate I got was no different to when I had loan through them for an 04 R8 Clubsport. Having said that, I've banked with them for a very long time - so it might pay to check out who you've banked with longest, they might look after you better.

thanks mate. Ended up doing a private sale on my car so didn't have to worry about the loan.

but RAC will finance imports if anyone's interested....just that they wont insure them as well. Strange that.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
