Sory for posting such newbie question, but guess I'll got to start from base with this car.

I just got my 04 V35 coupe 2 days ago, and was stuck on how to use the triptonic features.

It has (+) and (-) and I am not sure how to use it.

Any advise anyone? thanks

Yup, its my bad, bought wrong sticker.. so just put on (+), and is it just 1 time or I had to go up everytime I want to change to 2nd to 3rd gear like a manual car? Thanks

Each time u push the shifter up or down it goes up or down 1 gear. so if u want to to from 1st to 2nd push + once to go back push - once.

Car looks really nice, imo 19inch inital D white rims on the red :D and lose the stickers Vs are not ment to be super cars like the GTRs more of a show pony/cruser unless ur like cobey and build it to destroy all.

I was down at the TAB this afternoon putting some money on West Coast Vs Carlton and saw that Skyichgo is running at $1.01 to wrap his nice new TRD Skyline around a tree before he is old enough to drink!

Seriously though, does anyone else think that it is crazy for a young kid who cant figure out that + goes up a gear and - goes down a gear can afford a $25,000 car??? What happened to the good ole' days where you scraped together $2000 (if you were lucky!) and bought a piece of crap that had to be bump started every cold morning???

Its nothing personal against Skyichgo, but it scares me to think that there are people driving around in these relatively high powered cars at that age. Then again I'm probably just jealous because I can imagine the amount of "you know what" he will be getting in that car when I generally had the ladies pushing the car down the street so that I could take them home lol.

I just re-read my last post and changed my mind, it is actually something personal against you Skyichgo, take the damn TRD stickers off your car before someone punches you in the face on the street. You do realize that what you have done to that car is the exact reason that every bogan in an SS Ute gives Japanese cars crap?? Your not in Tokyo Drift or Initial D and Brembo is not paying you money to advertise their products so why pretend they are???

^^ I am sticking to my original thought that it must be school holidays, and someone is bored and making up stories about owning a V35.

lol...I think that you need a pair of new glasses, or probably stop gambling mate, it ruins your brain that you can't differentiate who is who :).. just piece of advise..

Bought wrong sticker?

Do you know anything about cars? Honestly, you bought an imported car and don't know TRD is for Toyota, and how to change gears in tiptronic mode (which is available in a Commo or Falcon now). Riiiiiight. +1 for troll.

FYI, school holidays begin next week.

Thx mate, just realized that it does shows on the dash screen

With the rims, I was thinking paint the wheels black.. as bigger rims f**k the engine ... thats my own old school opinion anyway, will consider it later.. and also with the stickers, I realized that I bought wrong one, no big deal.. I probably tear it down when I am bored..said in next 2-3 weeks lol,

Honestly , I bought other parts and ask the seller just to give me free door sticker, and apparently I didn't know anything about TRD shit.. so that's -1 for me.. and tiptronic... is also -1 for me, as I said I am newbie.. but that's the reason I am joining this forums to get well-educated by you (all the pros here).

I prefer being stupid about things I didn't know rather being a smartass (but dumb inside) :)

Skyichigo, I have a set of 6 inch wheel barrow wheels that I was actually going to save for when I put 3 superchargers on my engine. I was told by a mate who sat in a car one time that Isami Amemiya uses them on all of his performance engines in Japan and swears that they help protect the engine when you're running 75psi. I will send you some pictures of his Touge Monster V8 RX7, its a tough looking machine but not as tough as his TRD R39 GTR V-Spec 3.

I have changed my mind and will leave the car stock for now but I can slap a few Ferrari Decals on them and do you a deal if you like? They cost me $6000 but I'll let you have them for $5000.

Also, with the stickers that you noticed where the wrong ones but still put on the car anyway, be careful when you take them off because you can completely mess up the handling of the car.

Simple internet/forum search will cover all your questions anyway, so to come on here and ask these questions when they are already covered is kind of redundant anyway.

As for the 'bigger rims f**k the engine' comment, care to elaborate to one of the 'pros' how that works? That one really has me intrigued, for someone who doesn't know how to change a gear in a tiptronic, or what TRD means, you seem to be very knowledgeable on the mechanical side of things.

I know, and that's why I put " it's my own opinion for my own car". I don't said you can't put big one on your loved one , mate. We don't share same chick with same boobies size, right? I might like small one, and you might like big one? :)

You still haven't explained your logic behind that comment. Your opinion is that 'bigger rims f**k the engine', care to elaborate on HOW that occurs?

There is a difference between opinion and fact.

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
