Hey guys i have recently purchased a nissan skyline 350gt v35 2004 coupe and i love the darn thing, just a few noob questions i have if you could assist me it would be grealty appreciated!

first thing is i have 2 original sets of keys though the central locking buttons and boot release doe not seem to work and is bothering me quite abit, just need some hints/tips before i go and take it for further investigations.

the lock and unlock buttons seem to work fine when i open the doors manually with the key however the buttons on my remote do not work and i have replaced new batteries in both! please help with suggestions/advice

also the door lock sitwch on the drivers side works fine when locking unlocking however when i press to lock only the passenger side locks but not the drivers side and when i unlock both unlock fine....please help with suggestions/advice

also i am located in sydney so if anyone could advise me on where or who can install a radio expander for my car? or where i can purchase one and go to get installed? also how much this would cost me?

also seeing as i dont know much about the car myself when the vdc off is displayed on the speedo it means it is off right? lol just want to set things straight, also when i start the car the "slip" button lights up for a split second and when i am fanging the car the slip display lights up for a split second as well, advice please

i dont have a reputable mechanic i go to and i want to get my car serviced on a regular basis, any suggestions on mechanics in sydney (preferrably south west sydney) or garages that work on these types of cars in particular who know there stuff?

and lastly for now, what oils/spark plugs am i looking at to replace? my car is a 6spd and has done "36k" kms lol well who knows what it is ay

thanks heaps for your help/advice/input....

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
