Wondering about how many Ks what went wrong for those of you who have been unlucky enough for one of the above or something else to go bust on you, would be interesting to see if this is a age of the part or an amount of use "ks" related thing. As my car has somewhat higher ks than other V35s out there yet im only starting to have issues now

The reason Im asking is because my car now has 84k, I purchased it with 50k. Up until a couple of weeks ago I had never had a problem with the car until the drivers side window motor decided to give up

Sure enough as some of you may have read I ended up fixing the problem by cleaning the motor and putting everything back together

Now the last couple of days I have noticed that my drivers side door has not been locking/unlocking all the time when using the remote on the key

I pulled the door apart again today to see if any of the lock cables had come undone but everything was in its place

Iv read up on the net and again like the window this seems to be yet another common problem for G35/V35s

I bought mine at 76,000kms in 2008, and it's sitting at 89,000kms now.

Problems are:

1. Window motors gave up around 80,000kms (1st was the driver side, a month later was the passenger side).

2. CD player (OEM) makes abit of stop-start when playing music in the first minute or so, and then it's fine afterwards.

3. Fuel gauge needle doesn't go all the way up anymore after filling up full-tank around 80,000kms.

4. Tiny bit of rattling noise when going up driveways lately.

That's about it. Otherwise, it's fine. :)

Our 2003 V35 Sedan (65000km's) hasn't had any issues yet. The only thing I hate about it is the fuel gauge. As soon as it hits 1/4 it shoots down like tomorrow. I was panicking one day as I visited a mate (Yin Sun on here) as the wife and I left the fuel gauge was on a 1/4 as we went around the corner it shot straight down and the fuel light came on. I crawled it around the block to the nearest servo and I was pulling in the fuel gauge went back up to just under 1/4! I put some fuel in it anyway and asked the wife (she drives it the most) as soon as it hits on or near 1/4 fill the bitch up! But other than that it has been fine.

At about 78,000 kms my driver's side power window was playing up. I Took the door trim off and pressed the reset button. This fixed it. Now it has 80,000 and so far so good.

Yeah, driver's side window not working is more painful to live with. I used to park at multi-level car parks before I put on my kit. When the driver's side window didn't work, I had to open the door to get the ticket in and out.

Quite embarrassing when you go on cruises with friends. :P

Mine's at 92,000k's and my passenger seat won't slide forward when you get into the back.

Stopped working at around 89,000k's, Other than that, everything else is fine.

So, how do you deal with that issue, Bee? Can you still push the seat forward?

I can still use the button, just wont do it automatically.

Doesn't bother me as i hardly has people in the back seat,

Will eventually get bride seats later on in the year.

Iv been wanting to get a bride or similar seat for my car but the whole airbag thing kind of put me off it. Whats the deal with the airbags when you pull out stock seats?

car is currently sitting on 76kays

couple of months back the window failed to go back up after opening the driver side door...realised coz there was wind noise when driving...only happened the once tho so knock on wood.

single click on rear axle when going to D from R, heard its a common problem but requires rear driveshaft to be removed, greased and rotated...cbf coz i'm not really a DIY person

other than that it drives superb

with 'creativity ' its doable.

though pulling the stock seat out tends to piss off the SRS unit.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
