Similar km cars are currently going at the auctions for well below that. Of course its importing v buying local but have a look around i have seen some for $10k cheaper than what you've mentioned.

Yeah thats exactly what I was wondering. As silver is meant to be the cheapest colour but manual is rare from what I have seen.

Black is the most expensive, what do you think of chances of getting a decent white V35 for under $20k complied and landed not including rego costs and new tyres?

yes it is possible to get a white manual coupe for under $20k landed and complied. it may not be a premium edition though.

i could be wrong here, but im going to suggest that many of the cheap v35s going through auction lately have had their kms wound back. the drivers seat side bolsters seem to be an obvious giveaway, some are showing significant wear and cracks.

I'm also in the market for a manual V35 coupe. But it's just so hard to find one that hasn't had its odometer wound back. 80% of the V35s on carsales have around 25-30ks on the clock which is just so unreal. I have no experience importing vehicles and would prefer not to wait 4-5 months for a car. A decent untampered V35 is really very hard to find these days.

Welcome to the world of imports. As advised by other members you need to rely more on the condition of the car instead of focusing soley on Km's travelled. I am leaning more towards importing my own as most of the winding back is done once the car hits Australia, this is not to say Japan do not wind back there odo.

I am close to importing one myself but have been reading many issues which worry me, for example having to change valve covers every couple of years due to leaking oil into the spark plugs. I had a 1996 R33 GTS-T which worked flawlessly for over 7 years till the day I sold it. Looking for something newer but doesn't seem these cars are very reliable. Hope someone can say otherwise because I think these cars look amazing but don't want to continually spend money on fixing things.

Speaking of v35 prices, i have an 06 series 3 premium triptronic with a real 30k on the clock.

Immaculate paint/body/insides.

Anyone care to ball park me a figure of what its worth, i know i could check j-spec etc, but 06 series 3's seem damn rare on there.

I sold my silver '03 manual premium edition with genuine 14k on the clock a few months ago for $32.5k

03 car with only 14k on the clock? That sounds a bit.. you know what I mean.

A 7 year old car with 14,000km. So someone bought it that long time ago and just looked at it for most of the time?

So that would mean some of those 2003 v35s with 35,000km could be legit. Need to get my hands on one of those.

I bought it with 10800km on the clock: it was absolutely as new in every area: still smelled new, had full history, seats and interior were perfect, etc...etc...etc... I was very lucky at the auctions: there are cars out there with (genuine) very low km, but they are few and far between.

nah I'll vouch for that car. it was genuine.

Hahah yeah that you do, the good part about that is that you can also vouch for the k's.

Just hit 35k km on the weekend, i'm pondering the possibilities of selling it and moving to a 370gt as they seem to be coming down in price,

thought it might be an idea to sell up and do it now before the v35 350's drop too much.

Good move, I think on that note I may wait for the 370gt to come down in price a tad. Haven't heard many issues regarding them. I think they are a refined version of the V35.

I guess the fact you can import nice examples from Japan for real cheap pretty much kills the local market somewhat.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
