Yep see Anthony at Autowholesale he'll sort you out for your CPV35 needs... Ive driven the red one - VERY NICE... but its auto :D Good thing with these different to the R34 situation is they are going for pretty much the same at auction whether auto or manual.

If you wanna import yourself - then a basic povo spec CPV35 (coupe), 2003 with higher kms (around 30 - 40,000kms) will set you back around 2 million yen if you can wait for the right price... which landed and complied and in your driveway is around $39,000 !! Not bad considering how much 350Zs still go for and you get the extra 2 kiddy seats :( The "Premium pack" which has BOSE stereo system and usually convertable Sat Nav / DVD and half-leather trim will cost you another few hundred thousand yen (still high kms), right through to a 2005 with 5,000kms or so where you're looking around $52,000 landed or more. But yeah that should at least give you a guide to a reasonable yard price... first lot will probably be stickered at $48k + ... but depending on kms and specification a few thou either side of that would be reasonable Id reckon... but hey - thats just my thinking based on auction prices and "landed quotes" from brokers. In my opinion the extra several thousand yard price for a warranty, after sales support, and BEFORE sales fixing of any surprises is well worth the difference.

Last time I asked, Autowholesale also said they'd be happy to find the right car for serious buyers with a deposit down - so ask where that is at the moment (not really brokering - still pay yard price with warranty and after-sales support etc - but at least get colour and specification level you're happy with).

And just so you know just about everything underbody is interchangeable with 350Z stuff - so you can grab an HKS 350Z exhaust or some coilovers etc and pretty much bolt it right on :D

Interestingly the blue one at Downunder in Leederville is gone - in fact the whole YARD IS GONE! Anyone know if they moved or closed shop??

For anyone thinking 4 door - the model you want to look for is the top of the line V35 350GT-8... 8 speed tiptronic (yes EIGHT speed - world first) VERY TIGHT RATIOS and rapid low end shift changes and PADDLE shift not button shift - same box in the new GTR i read - sposed to be very quick off the mark with the 8 speed and still with the 3.5 litre - pity bout the extra weight of the 4 door though. But these are about 75% the cost of the CPV35 at auction on average - so a nice alternate option with someone with only $34,000 or so to spend.

down under auto has moved to malaga or wangala..not so sure, but if yo go to the website, they have address on it.

the red 35 was driven half years ago on alb hwy, i saw it all the time with dealer number plate on, he should be enjoy that thing very well...

there is one from PMS with 8 speed auto calle GT-8 and it cost under 30k to land with compaliance and ready to rego... a blue one was for sale at 25,990...

they are not that expensive, unless the V35 skyline 2 door. and it looks better than 350Z and perform better...

Do the sums on the V35, search the forums about some of the stock offered in Japan and make sure they can comply the car first as some emission tests are yet to be sourced.

Just because it is offered for sale or you are told the car can be imported it dosent mean you will get it on the road 2 weeks after arriving at the workshop.

Even better let them use it as a test car..............

I was going by the name in america. Which ofcourse is G35. I am never wrong so you must get use to it.  :)

If you go by the name in America, then you'd be referring to a lefthand drive example... not the case 'ere then, innit? :P I know you don't probably approve of it, but it's probably best to call it a... oh my gawd... a 'Skyline'...

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
