hey guys

i am contemplating whether i should get rid of the skyline and upgrade to a nissan murano as the family is growing.. so i just want to try and see how much interest and how much i can get for it. im hoping of getting around the $13.5K. so give me a offer.

i thought i'd post it up here first so all the V-series enthusiast can have a chance before i advertise to general public on carsales.

the car has been a wonder to drive. it has always made me smile when i put my foot down. and smooth when needed for just normal daily driving. the car has always been well kept, washed every 2nd week, well looked after and always serviced on time. and for the guys that are always negative about the cvt, dont worry its has been serviced 10000KM ago. it drives perfectly silky smooth!

those who have seen the car will vouch for me.

here's the details

Make: NIssan

Model: Skyline V35 350GT-8

Year: 2003

Transmission: CVT 8-Speed

Color: Midnight Blue

Rego: Just under 5 months

here's the list of goodies.

engine

-custom exhaust system with VIP styled exhaust tips

-blox intake manifold spacer

-dynamics throttle body spacer

-pop charger with z-tube

brakes/supsension/wheeks

-tein coilovers (driving master spec - to get the VIP ride height and have the comfort available still)

-project mu disc rotors (front and rear)

-qfm brake pads (front and rear)

-genuine sparco 18x8.5 18x9.5

exterior

-nismo lip kit

-bootlid ducktail

-series 2 front bar

-series 2 boot lid

-series 2 outter tail lights

-10000K hid globes

-yellow jdm foglight/hi beam globes

-led number plate light

-led park lights

interior

-diy aux cable

-reverse camera integrated into factory screen

-translated factory screen

-tv tuner

-led cabin lights all around

-led front door courtesy lights

i may have left a few things out. but all in all the car drives well and is perfect. the only blemishes are a few little dings here and there from the age of the car. other than that it would be one of the best v35 sedans around.

pics will be up later.

PM if u have offers or enquiries.

cheers

Thats a WALD bootlip you have aswell.

This is a great car peeps, well looked after and looks great in the flesh!!

A decent good condition GT-8 is hard to come by.

Good luck with sale mate!

There are a bunch of them on car sales at the moment.. But yours seems to have a lot of extras which makes your asking price quite reasonable.

I think it is the repair costs of the CVT 'IF',something goes wrong that scares people.

Good luck!!

yea u are right about the cvt repair cost. but i seriously think that was a thing of the past. when these cars first came to australia, no body knew anything about these transmissions.. u would call the dealer up and they would tell you just to use ordinary transmission oil. but now alot of mechanics have caught on. so in saying that i seriously believe the main reason why these gear box were failing was because of lack of service because nobody knew what to do back then. now days servicing them is a breeze, that is if your mechanic is switched on and knows what going on.

Sure. Serving is easy as long as you use the right fluid (which is quite expensive). But if something goes wrong, you will still struggle to find someone willing to crack them open.

But as a transmission, I don't think they are inherently unreliable compared to standard autos.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
