Hi all . just bought a v35 coupe standard the other day .. and through researching prior to purchasing I lurked this site a little ....

I an the first Aussie owner of this second hand import and I have a couple questions i couldn't find an answer to by searching ..

Mainly .. if I just pull the wires out of the toll card reader and tuck them away will it cause any errors? Or will nothing be affected (aside from the Japanese lady's voice that comes up every time I start the car?

Secondly ,, there is a little sensor (looks aftermarket from japan ) in the centre of my dash up against the front window that looks to me to be a gps antenna ... is that what it is? Is it part of the toll card system and can I use it to connect to an aftermarket HU with gps?

It might be worth mentioning that my car has no screen , already has an aftermarket single din pioneer from japan which I will be swapping with an au aftermarket unit soon..

Thanks in advance for any replies!!

Mine already had the toll card reader removed and a standard glove box housing fitted when I bought it (2nd owner in Aust). The only reason I know it had the reader is all the documentation for it was still in the handbook.

It also had a small black square antenna mounted on the dash, hard up against the windscreen. I recently removed it and it was connected to nothing, so I assumed it was the antenna for the Toll card.

isn't that square antenna the sensor for the auto headlights??

Mine wasn't as it wasn't connected to anything. my auto headlights still work fine.

I would have expected the auto headlight sensor is intergrated into the dash? This antenna has been added on top of the dash with its own wiring tucked behind the dash.

hi . I'm not sure I have auto headlights...? Unless there just turned off .. lights don't go on when I drive into the garage like my commodore did .

If you have auto headlights, you need to turn the headlight switch to the first position to put them in 'auto' mode.

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
