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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
