Hey guys, my names Nork.

Its been a long time coming and some solid saving but i finally have my second car

Ive just bought my Skyline 350Gt V35 and loving it.... oh yeah and its manual ;)

It came with half leather interior, Brembo's and the optional 7spoke wheels

My first car was a Hyundai Lantra and loved it to bits even tho it was falling into bits. I was devastated when the engine blew up on me on my way back from schoolies :/, then i started my apprenticeship and needed a way of transport so i bought a bike, after a few weeks with that some one stole it, more bad luck, so i ended up getting lifts with my sister or borrow her car for the last 8months, so i could save to buy the car i really wanted.

Sorry for the lack of better pictures but heres my Skyline :)

Hey mate,

Same year as mine, ours are identicle apart from i have black corners and getting diff rims & lowering. Congrats on your excellent buying decision you will not regret it.

Also, first thing i would recommend doing bro is whacking a CF short shift NISMO knob. Make shifting so much better.

Edit: I would also debadge the back, looks much cleaner and gets people guessing what it is.

Double edit: I just noticed you have red P plates, do you live in NSW? I hope not because you can't legally drive the car it's over the KW limit :/

Edited by Seano350GT

I live in QLD Seano350gt, 4kw of the 210kw limit ;) hahaha yeah changing the gear knob is on the list, the one i have on there now is worn out. Im liking all the attention i get with the car and random people come up to me and ask about the car and what not. I'll think about de-badging it, i doubt many people in Bundaberg would know what my car is haha Ive only ever seen one other one driving around once. My current wheels have bad gutter rash and i was thinking bout painting them that gunmetal colour, hope it turns out looking good hahah

Congrats on the purchase Nork. Guaranteed to get more lovin` now than you did when you were rolling in a hyundai! Probably more haters too but it'll be worth it.

At such a young age you shouldn't be too worried about your knob, as long as it gets you from third to fourth its fine.

Ah from bundy! haha yeah i am betting you'll be one of the only ones with this car. I am one of 3 350GT owners in Mackay, good mates with 1 of them and the other is a random old bloke with infiniti badging that doesn't wave back.

Attention is not always a good thing, be careful with it make sure you keep it safe! I get a few compliments here and there too, but my baby is going to look much much better in the next 7 days :D

They look good plasti dipped matte black, but i don't like how small the stock 18's are which is why i'm getting 20's.

Yesterday actually some young lady parked right next to mine, exactly like mine with brembo's leather, also same colour and everthing except she had a sunroof :/. i was shocked hahah it was so sexy.

Congrats. 6MT is the way to go. And the Brembos are killer stoppers :) Recommend Coilovers if you plan on modding. Have fun.

Love the 6mt hahah, ive gotten used to it now but are all our clutches really heavy?

i painted my wheels yesterday, tell me what you's think, the colour is a charcoal gunmetal metallic with clear coat, imo it looks heaps better, i should have taking a picture of the rim before hand with all bad gutter rash on my spokes, i couldn't stand it hahah

heres a crappy picture of it... dont remind me of my scratch on the bumper, im looking for a lip to cover it up.

Nice I like the colour of the wheels better than black. Welcome mate and mod wisely :)

Upload a pic of your Wheels. I can't view anything on that link.

Please :)

the link should work, it should have a download button on it, other then that i couldn't figure out how to post a picture straight onto a reply

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
