G'day guys. I've been stalking these forums for the past fortnight reading all of the posts on the V35, so I am very new

I've got my eyes on a V35 skyline, imported from Japan and being sold by one of the local import dealers.

I haven't had a look at the car just as yet, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if that is the stock HU?

If it isn't, will i need to buy a fascia to put a double DIN in?

I'm not too sure if I can post the link to the car here but it is. Please don't bite my head off if links arent allowed!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks guys

28000 k's ??? hhmmm GL

and to answer you question, that is already an a/m stereo fitted using a double din fascia and seeing there is no dual aircon im guessing the car is a Non-premium as well.

Edited by AsM

Does the "GL" refer to the 28000km being BS? and potentially wound back?

Yup its the non premium one, i believe its advertised as the SPORT model.

Pretty much... ask them for the vin number and list it here, there are a few ppl on sau that might be able to confirm the kms

Okay I've just got off the phone with him and am having a look this weekend.

So i should record the following

1. Deregistration papers

2. VIN number

Any other recommendations..
Also, what are the dereg papers? And what if he can't produce them?

Thanks again everyone.

No way in hell is that the genuine KM's.. sorry but it just doesn't happen. If it were true, they'd be asking $25,000..

it could be genuine. You need to look at other things too - such as wear and tear of interior, rust underbody, lipped rotors, service records from Japan?, dereg certificate...

I recently sold my 33000 km genuine km PREMIUM coupe for 16 500. No way in hell would anyone buy a low km v35 coupe for $25 000 these days, the market for sellers is just shit.

I had to wait around 1 year to sell it, first genuine buyer who came around bought it, he even did a "stateroads" check (which is similar to RACV Check but more thorough) and the bloke said the car is like brand new condition..

Wow..

Thanks for the response guys. I'll ask for the original log books when I get there. Hopefully it all goes well.

Another concern is the resale. Hopefully if I want a new one, I don't have to wait a year to sell it.

I called the skyline specialist over in Rydalmere and he recommended I get the MTA to do a pre-purchase inspection. $255 well spent I believe.

I'm hoping I've got some bargaining power with paying cash... Maybe he'll throw in installing a 3 point immobiliser which I need thanks to Justcar.

I thought the immobiliser was a compliance requirement?

Yes, but they only need to have a 1 point immobiliser, whereas australian standard is 3. and justcar require a 3 point or they are not insuring me.

I've had a look at the 350z's and they are older yet still more expensive than the V35 skyline - i guess they have a better resale value

hmm.. I was under the impression the compliance required an 'australian standard' immobiliser to be fitted?? I could be wrong though, as they do have a factory immobliser which isn't good enough for compliance.

Thats what I thought. Previous threads on here say its just the insurer being a sook. Shannons insurance doesn't care cause it has compliance. Justcar wants a 3 point. And I'm stuck with them until I turn 25 too

Fair enough.. you are probably right, justcar is being difficult. mine is insured with NRMA and they make no mention in any of their PDS about requiring an additional immobilier.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
