Hi Guys,

I have just recently bought a new V35 2003 Coupe around a few weeks ago. I have been having some trouble trying to find parts locally for this car. I understand that I should check the G35driver forum and to try liaise with stores on there. I have also searched quite a bit on the US ebay but everytime I seem to find something I like, I get quoted something ridiculous for international shipping. I am in search for a couple of things in which I intend to upgrade in the next couple of weeks. Can you guys please shed some light on where I can find some parts and accessories for my V. Where do you guys buy your parts from?

I am looking at purchasing the below in the next couple of days.

* the double din kit - I have found a few on ebay which are quite expensive for shipping. Can you guys give me a rough estimate on how much you guys have bought yours for?

* cold air intake - looking for an apexi kit, which I can't seem to find.

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no easy or cheap solution to your needs. Most of us purchase our parts either from the US or Japan depending on which is cheaper at the time. Yes shipping can be a bitch but at the end of the day its worth it if you get the exact bolt on part for your car and you know its been tried and tested. Try watching out for Group Buys or people selling parts on this forum.

I believe Chris Rogers on this forum can supply you with the double din kits. He will be able to perform the whole conversion for you too if you are located in QLD.

Thanks mate!

Yeah I did see a previous post about the kit. I will get in contact with Chris once I reach my post count to be able to PM. haahaha. Can anyone provide me with any good websites/suppliers. Also can anyone assist me with locating a CAI. I will definitely look into the group buy section. Thanks mate.

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Speed Sensor replacement

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
