After joining SAU in 2008 and looking around for the last 2 years (and playing with my 1977 Celica), I finally jumped in and bought a 2005 (first reg 2007) V35 Sedan through Prestige. Car is in Brisbane at compliance and hopefully will arrive in Adelaide soon. :ermm: Car has only 12000 km so should be in good nick (I hope!)

No doubt I'll be asking questions soon! I"m hoping like hell the car comes with more than one key (have followed that post with interest) and that I have no hassles with window motors, etc. Will also have to choose a servicing centre in Adelaide at some stage in the next 6 months, so have also been looking at the recommendations on the forum.

Congrats on you buying a V35 skyline. I know how you are feeling at the moment. I saw my car on Monday just, before it got shipped to the compliance shop. Just waiting for the people to sign the papers really kills you. Making you wondering when are they going to be done. But, thats my story anyway Congrats on purchasing your very own skyline hope you get a good quality one and enjoy driving it. :verymad::happy::happy::happy:

Sounds like a nice car, I have a few in Japan at the moment so if you know of anyone else maybe a friend I have them starting at 340,000JPY FOB uncomplied ($4543 AUD) I also have a little over 1500 other vehicles in stock so delivery is very fast, let me know if I can help. Also I should add that I purchase vehicles direct in Japan as well via all auctions sites in Japan through our own links and should anyone you know want a particular vehicle I am happy to either guide them through or purchase on behalf and I charge no fee for this what you pay for the vehicle at auction is your end price, I am aware others charging up to $1000 which is outrageous......

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
