Everyone thank you all so much for your help advice and confidence.

Somehow from an act of God my wife has agreed that the 2006 V36 350GT SP is a better car for our family!

So if everything goes well late next week I should be driving this instead for the 250GT.

Rally appreciate the help and assistance as some of these points assisted with the decision.

I will upload some photos when I get the car.

Looking forward to becoming part of this community.

Matt.

How?

Good decision! My mrs encouraging me to spend MORE money in unheard of so I wouldn't argue with that haha.

I met my Mrs on these forums... She drives an R34 and spends too much on parts :P

Nice.. I am sure you will be happy with it!!

I have considered upgrading to a V36, especially with some of the prices importers are quoting lately. - I probably would have one by now if the sedans were available in a 6sp manual.. the coupe is a bit impractical for me at the moment and I really don't want an auto.

Same here! Although, I could get a coupe if I really wanted....

Awesome!! V36 sedans look soo much better than the V35 sedans, good result. Extra 90 hp too ;)

Hey! Hey!! No. :domokun:

How the members of this forum helped me with the purchase was the following points:

# two keys as replacement keys for these are not a simple thing. Appreciate all the information in the posts relating to replacement keys.

# lines of the body - I was told and assured the vehicle hadn't been in any accidents or damage. The lines of the front fenders were not the same. The vehicles lines were different in overcast conditions compared to full sun

# parts sound like they are easier to get then 250. Went into Repco and spent 20 minutes going over what parts the had in stock today and parts they could get in. Basically 99% of the 350 were available and 80% of the 250 had to be ordered.

# import certificate make sure you get a copy of this and check it against the RWC and the Km's should be similar

# vehicle check from RACV - they were painful about it and wanted the car in their centre for a day. Called "statewide" and found them to be fantastic and the inspection guy picked up on the damage/replacement fender due to the number of welds and a few other points. Felt very happy after the inspection from statewide and that will the final decider to get the car.

Hope this helps

Matt

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
