Hey guys after selling my v35 coupe, i started looking for a family sedan for my father...after months of searching camry's lancers etc they were all bad condition which i was very surprised as i was looking at under 80000 kms and over 07 models, they were real dirty and poor like you wouldn't imagine. anyway after one search and inspection of a v35 sedan - 250gt after a 3rd party inspection we bought it, now the drive way a new v35, its so much different to the coupe - comfort and drive wise its so much quieter and comfortable, it does lack a bit of ommpff but that's no worries since its my dads.

its a late 04 s2 250GT

Good purchase, Edi. I am guessing you will get to drive it sometimes. :)

I was on a cruise last night and was following a friend's V35 sedan at night. I was actually admiring it! The LED tail lights looks so good and the whole car looks classy, compare to your everyday Corolla's, Camry & Civic's.

thanks guys, i do like the look of the coupe more but the sedan is better looking and better overall compared to other sedans that are standard and everywhere (camry etc) also iv been driving it now just getting a feel for it seeing whats good and bad etc... so far all good just needs a service (coming to 40k kms + previous owner barely drove it). I myself will hopefully by next year when on fulls will get (on the short list atm) a e46 m3, r34 gtr or a evo 9...still undecided and havent been/test driven 3/3 cars on that list but have been in them before exluding the r34 gtr and so far the m3 has it over the evo 9.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
