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

my Drivers side went completely and replaced it.

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.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
