there is one around, it is a silver 350GT with big arse 20" deep dish rims.

looks absolutely awesome in the flesh, much better proportions than they look like in the photo's. There have been a couple of threads on here about workshops in Brisneyland complying them can't remember which workshops though (maybe skylineimports) but apparantly they have ridiculous prices in mind.

Jspec are doing the importing and complying for sure, and at a good price (under 40k on road) http://www.j-spec.com.au/

i called jspec to ask about the 350gt and they told me they couldnt do better than around 42 k complied. which was 38k for car and then 4.5k for compliance. although they said you can get the 2.5 litre one for much cheaper.

That's great! The *other* places want 55-60K for an auto, a 350Z is much more attractive at those prices

:werd:

why would you buy a 2nd hand 350gt (as much as I would like one) for as much as a brand new 350z with full three year warranty.

I can see J-Spec selling heaps and laughing at the other tossers who have overpriced them.

I checked out some current auction prices

CPV35 2 Door 3.5L Auto 25-40ks $34000 landed plus compliance

CPV35 2 Door 3.5L Auto 7-15ks $38000 landed plus compliance

V35 4 Door 3.5L Auto 13ks $26000 landed plus compliance

V35 4 Door 2.5L Auto 61ks $18000 landed plus compliance

CPV35 2 Door 3.5L 6 speed Man 15ks $46000 landed plus compliance

Only saw 1 car that was a 6spd 2 door 3.5L out of about 50 cars, so they could be hard to get and expensive. At that price I would buy a 350Z and not have the whole import car hassles i.e insurance

Would be nice to have a CPV35 just to be different or buy a 2.5L for a much cheaper price and twin turbo it........runs off to check turbo kit prices.

hehe yeah i check out all the turbo kits they range from 15k up to 50k so pretty expensive and heard that the cheaper 15k ones arent that good in the way of fuel managment ect. And not being built as a turbo car you would want to upgrade some internals so i would say you wouldnt get away with turboing it for less than 18k or so. I dont think i would pay over 55k for the whole package. maybe if it was 4wd :P

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
