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.

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!

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
