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.

I know what you paid for it :(

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.

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

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.

Someone buy mine! :)

63xxx kms mhm hmm! 03 manual premium with all the goodies and mods! And it's priced well too..hrmph slow market.

Yep plenty of wound back V's. I got mine inspected prior to purchase and got it from a reputable place at least.

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

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
