Someone said PB2000N in their post earlier, so please ignore my question.

It's me saying that. Got an email reply from them saying PB2000N will be the one best suited for my v35. I think "N" is just indicating it's for Nissan.

Hey guys.... drove out to the west this afternoon and for the first time, I actually spotted m35s on the road twice! :D

Guess the car is getting more n more popular...

Anyway, was at a takeaway place today and picked up a copy of the Auto-trader. Saw that there is a M35 up for sale in Speedy 5000 Panmure going for $10.5k! Says it has "good KMs". Car looks nice with a good set of 18" mags....

Just thought i'll give an update on my reverse sensors... got them installed y'day and seems to be working quite well. The shop didn't really have a set that matches the car's color well, so had to get them sprayed. Just did that myself y'day. Seller advice to just spray one thin layer which is what I did. Now colour matches perfectly and luckily don't think there's any adverse effect on the sensitivity of the sensors!

Will try to post some photos of the sensors later this week.

Wasent a Silver one was it :D thats my neck of the woods !!

Any of you guys driving with the plate "V35GT"? Saw it heading over the bridge heading north on Thursday night. Nice car...win4ever?

Cheers

Hey Tim, any idea what colour is the car? Anyway, that's not me.... =) Hopefully he/she will join this forum though! =) With a number plate like that, he/she must definitely be a v35 fan!

Hi, I am pretty sure it was the same colour as yours mate as it was a bit dark.

Cheers.

Ic.... Hmmmm.... an identical twin brother! :)

Gotta say I hardly see any v35 coupe in this colour actually in Auckland.... so will be keen to meet that car. Will keep an eye out for it when i am over at the shore! :P

Anyway, just back to the discounted fuel topic we discussed earlier, last Thursday, the Mobil at Smales Rd was selling RON98 at $1.76!!! RON91 was down to $1.61.... I just love that place.... now Thursday is my refueling day! :P

Hey guys/gals,

I am also a member of the NZ Primera Car Club. They are having a track day at Taupo on 2nd Oct on Track 2. It is a good time to test your skills and your car. No one is racing as such and you do what you can within your limits and drive your car at a speed that you feel safe at. Male and females drivers all come together on the day and have fun and that all in a safe environment.

Its $100 only for the full day. Good, safe fun. I am taking my skyline down for a blast as we don't get to do this on public roads. Track is the safest place to do this. I see another M35 coming on the day as of now.

So if anyone one of you guys are interested, let me know. Will be great to see some more skylines around.

Hey X! Thanks for the update! Unfortunately, I can't make it on that weekend due to work commitment (company doing a major business IT system change that I'll need to be on call just in case the IT team needs details fr Finance).

However, if there are more of such events, i'll probably be keen to try one! Cheers!

Common guys we can make a mini skyline meet out of this. Meet up somewhere in Auckland in the morning, convoy down to Taupo, maybe stop over for snack somewhere. Then full fun day at the tracks, maybe get pizza delivered for lunch. Then once the day is over, convoy back up to Auckland or stay over at Taupo at a hotel/motel, relax and return the next day.

Good family fun weekend too.

sounds like good fun x! U heard anything fr anyone? I can't make it unfortunately on that week. But if we have another one wif a few m35s n v35s next time I'll be interested.

No one has said anything wins.

Hmmmm.... everyone's been pretty quiet lately (including myself due to the insane workload I have at the office atm). How's everyone going?

Anyway, saw a couple of v35 coupe on the weekend. A white one along Ti Rakau Drive on Sunday evening and another silver one on the motorway.

It's perhaps the first 2 coupes I saw on the road since I got my car! :D

Hi guys.... saw a M35 (FMH 726) at Aero Parks (one of the open air airport parking) today. In fact, the owner was picking up the car together with me after returning from the airport. Wondering if he is someone in the forum?

Also, drove side by side with another silver v35 coupe last Thursday in the morning near Pak n Save Manukau. Any chance that person is in this forum?

Spotted a silver v35 coupe in wairau park today, it was a bit low for my tastes though, looked like a rather bumpy ride, cats eyes become speed humps spec.

I was in Wairau Park today too at around 2.30pm! Didn't see any other v35 coupe or m35 though. Anyway, the v35 coupe is abit bumpier than a usual sedan, but still alright for me. After almost 3 months having it, I am still enjoying it as if it's the first day I got it! I am scheduling a service with City Nissan soon (sometime next week) so will update everyone on my experience with them.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
