Transmission help pls Ok so my Nov'04 v35 has a sick transmission. I called around and found one out of a wreckers that came out of a '04 coupe which was supposed to be the same. The mechanic tells me the wiring harnesses are completely different so they are not compatible (may be different valve bodies). Has anyone had any transmission issues and can point me in the direction of a transmission expert to resolve this ??

V35 replacement Fob Hi all, Any ideas where I can get a new fob ? My darling wife dropped it and then ran the car over it. Love her to bits even still. A Melbourne Nissan stealership quoted me $260 and then they weren't even sure if they could program it 100% - suspected they could for a V35 (but said their software didn't work for V36 as an aside)

Damaged torque converter which tran ?? Hi all Whats the best way to confirm exactly which transmission is required for swapout. I have a 2004 updated series Skyline with 5spd auto (no paddles). Car is in the shop and mechanic wants me to source the transmission. The wrecker is telling me he has pn RE5R05A which from what I can see is the correct one but how do I confirm ?

Airbags? I'll have to check but I'm positive there are no airbags in my sedan other than the dash airbags... wife has the Skyline today, I have to let her drive it occasionally otherwise she can't resove her leadfoot issues.

Holy sh11111te thats a bit of coin on seats and more than my tight ar5e is looking to spend thanks I'm sure you'll enjoy! Post up pics when done!

Thanks Brad, lots of questions Where did you get them from ? Straight bolt in ? Do they come with rails ? Cost? ADR approved ?

I also find them uncomfortable though...as does my wife so rebuilding/replacing them could be worth it

Not sure what my best option is so maybe someone can chime in. Love my series 2 sedan (late 2004) GT350 but the seats really suck for a car that's supposed to be a tourer... find my xtrail more comfortable lol Also they smell bad... the previous owners were....well I dont want to stereotype so lets just say there is a smell of sweat in the upholstery that persists even after pro steam cleaning so since I find them unconfortable anyway what are my best options ? 1.Replace whole seat with reco if I could find them 2. buy new aftermarket seats - dont know what fits and keeps the electrics 3. Take the car to get the foam replaced and seats rebuilt and maybe done in leather Any ideas ? Am in Melbourne East tks

By law your tyres must be rated to do a sustained speed equal to your car's top speed, regardless of whether that speed is legal or not. I'd get that stuff right, as cops check that data when considering whether to defect your tyres as roadworthy or not. What a load of rubbish. The only legal requirements for tyre fitting are that the speed rating of Australian passenger cars be rated S or better and that the load index of the tyres meet or exceed the manufactures spec found on the tyre placard in the drivers door. There are other rules like tyre cannot ride outside of the body etc but basically if you meet or exceed the placard you are good to go.

Well I have a galaxy S3 and I really wanted to keep the function of the satnav screen for google maps etc. I did manage to get the phone connected and the sound was perfect but the picture was really sh*t because I bought a cheap converter from ebay. I'll spend a bit more and buy a better unit and hopefully the picture quality will be better. I'm still looking around for a decent car mount that doesn't cost a fortune and can flip vertical or horizontal and then I'll post how it all goes together

found it

Ok so I'm trying to hook up my phone to the aux in with the AV cable and my stereo shows it in AUX but no sound or picture but sounds like I have to navigate into VTR mode - how do I find this ???

Hahaha sorry to bring up old posts but this cracked me up.... What side is the steering wheel on ?? /Sits back with popcorn

Well after driving around in the Skyline for two days I'm pretty happy - it drives n i c e I'm certain the 76k kms are genuine as the filter sticker in the glovebox in indicates it was 46k at changeover and there are some japanese stickers in the doorwell that to me appear to be some kind of export confirmation stickers and they indicate 63k kms. I know the people I bought it off had it just over a year and used it as the wife's get-the-kids-to-school car (really) so all those things lead me to believe the odometer. Stereo works but the cd skips on some cds and doesnt read some burnt cds so I'm looking at running a cable from the tuner in the boot to the centre console and have an old samsung galaxy tab which fits perfectly in the center storage box so I'm thinking I'll dump all my cds into that as a music player and can still use the sat nav it has which uses the gps.... Will this give me the pin code in case I ever need new keys ?

Factory spec is 215/55R17 93V
