Thank you for your reply. Thats the information I needed. I saved myself $400-500 in which case, but need to fork out $1400 for the real thing. Such is the nature of the beast I guess.

Hi there, I have a 2001 Skyline V35 250GT. A few days ago the airbag warning light starting blinking in my car. I took it to the local autoelectrician and they attached the Airbag computer, and it indicated a fault with the Driver Module. Problem is there aren't any replacement parts here in New Zealand. To get the part, they need to order it from Nissan who will import it at a cost of $1400 + shipping + labour. I was wondering, if I ordered the driver airbag module from ebay, for an '03 Infiniti G35 (for around $400), would this fit my car with no issues? In terms of part numbers, the driver airbag module has the part numbers K19981E or 28556A-710. I'm unsure of the part numbers on the Infiniti G35, but I know they look the same, apart from the fact that one has a Nissan symbol, and the other has an Infiniti Symbol. Thanks in advance. Gene

Thanks to both the above replies. You won't know how much that has helped me. So thanks! So far I've taken my V35 to two pretty well known repair shops here in New Zealand (Pit Stop and The Shock Shop), and both have contacted their suppliers who have reported back that they don't stock any shocks for the V35. Regarding the tein Super Streets, I noticed that you've got a V35 Coupe. Would these fit on a V35 Sedan which I have? Thanks again. Gene

Hi All, New here, and looking for a bit of advice if you could spare it. I own a V35 Skyline 250GT Sedan which was imported from Japan. I recently noticed a knocking noise coming from the left front wheel whenever I turned or reversed round a corner slowly. It almost sounded like a worn CV joint, but being a RWD car it doesn't have a CV joint. Either way, I took it into the local repair shop to have it checked out, and they told me it was the shocks that required changing. The only problem is that the automotive repair shop told me they've searched far and wide for replacement shocks (geniune and aftermarket) for the V35 skyline, and haven't been able to find them (I'm from Auckland, New Zealand). Effectively they told me they can't do anything for me unless short of me asking Nissan NZ to specially import some shocks in for me, which would of course cost a fortune. They even went as far as saying that they've had 3 v35 skylines in and they've been nothing but trouble - a black sheep in the nissan family as it were since parts were impossible to get. Either way, it'll cost me a fortune to get geniune shocks from Nissan NZ, I figured it'll be cheaper to buy aftermarket shocks off ebay for the G35, get them imported here and get them installed. I've searched the various g35 forums, and the only shocks I can find that suit the G35 and are on ebay are Tokico DSP-7's. So my question really is: Given that these fit a G35 sedan, will they be guaranteed to fit a V35 Skyline Sedan? I positive that they will, but I want to double check, since I don't want to fork out money for no reason. If anybody has any good advice for me, for example where I can get suitable shocks from, or if there are better shocks, I gladly would welcome it. Thanks in advance. Gene
