Hi Guys,

Having broken my back this week, I have been ordered by the neurosurgeon to never again have any fun: no body surfing, jet-skiing, motorsport etc...

So I am in a position where performance modified cars are now a no-go.

Having put some thought into what I want as a daily driver (my Stagea is no longer suitable), I thought I'd put the idea out there for a swap.

If you look in the for sale section, ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/To...ml&hl=350gt ) you will see my V35, which was the ChargeSpeed entry in Tokyo Auto Salon '07: the car won a runner up prize in the 'sporty car' category.

Given that I can no longer even get into the car, let alone drive it, I thought I'd see if anyone with a good condition, basically stock manual Premium edition (brembo model only) 350GT coupe would be interested in a swap? I am willing to take a small financial hit if it means I can have a car that I can actually use...

I relaise this is a topic probably best put in the for sale section, but since I'm looking specifically for a V35 I thought I'd post in here.

Mods, please feel free to remove this post if it's breaking/bending the rules...

Have a good Xmas all...

Micah

Spewing dude.

If you lived in Perth and i could see the car in person i might do a swap with you...

and sorry my car don't have Brembo and it's an auto, which would be better for you since it's such a smooth ride :)

Sorry Paul: I have had 2 manual (brembo) V35s so far, and just wouldn't be able to bring myself to drive an auto... I know it's a matter of horses for courses: I am now permanently limited, but as I can still drive manual, that's what I'm chasing :)

i could be interested

i have an 03 brembo brakes the only mods are 19s c/f bonnet,c/f engine cover and c/f z tube

ust not sure if it would pass the blue slip inspection here in nsw

blue slip isn't an issue :D ...

email me at [email protected] with pics/details if you like: I have bucketloads of pics etc, and would like to discuss further... Car runs standard suspension?

My only (minor) issue is that due to my condition, I am unable to travel for at least the next 6 weeks, but that can be worked around: I have trusted friends/mechanics in Sydney who can inspect for me, and am more than willing to let someone you trust up here (Gold Coast) inspect my car...

Either way, email me, and we can see if it's going to suit...

Cheers,

Micah

bugger i got no pics on this computer ill have to take some

To be honest, the seats aren't the most comfortable (but by far the grippiest I've ever used), as they are so DEEP, but driver's side shoulder checks require you to lean forwards, and physically look back, as the mirrors are so small: it's definitely the sort of car that's suited to weekend drives...

I love the look of the car, and would be so very interested if not for the 30,000 extra kms over mine (and I'd have to swap out my plenum spacer and exhaust).

You obviously have your reasons, but why couldn't you just swap out the suspension and seats and keep the rest of the great vehicle? Surely the body bits wouldn't be affecting your back?

I'd really like to leave it as shown: it has a history in its current guise... My original intention was to enter it into the major car shows of '09, but then they went and cancelled them...

Besides, I need a daily, and it's just too attention grabbing for my taste: I have my Stagea for weekends, as it's now 95% completed and I want a neat, clean daily driver... The V35 swap is one of several optons I'm considering...

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
