how much are you wanting to pay for it? cheers kari

yeah i've had the "whats that" a few times.. its great seeing their confused faces when i go on to explain its a skyline, then going on to explain its more like a 4 seater 350z.. i have so much trouble explaining what the car is to people who have not seen it before!!! i usually just give up.. which is where usually one of my friends try to explain it to the brick wall.. which usually ends in my mates saying somthing along the lines of "trust me its an awesome car"... with myself proudly grinning as i walk away... lovin the V lol kari

alrighty, thanks for you help.. atleast i know abit more now probably saving many many headaches!!

yeah i've kind of grown fond of the auto somewhat.. i was thinking i will just go a piggyback.. i noticed haltech had a few which on there internet site were for a 04 350z.... im guessing will work on our cars? is the imobiliser only armed when the lock/unlock is used on the stndard key.. as i have an aftermarket alarm system (mongoose M80) which has its own 3pt immobiliser.. so im assuming the standard immobiliser has been dealt with? (or not :S).. or is the standard immobiliser disarmed when the key is inserted into the ignition? if i were to go with a piggyback would this avoid all issues with the immobiliser? thanks for all the help, sorry if i seem like abit of a dimwit when it comes to this as i havent dealt with ECU's before... kari

hahaha couple good ones there xtc!!

hey jus a few quick questions.. im looking at updating my computer for the V35 coupe.. 1st of all will a computer set up for a 350z work with a 03 V35 coupe Auto? 2nd where can a new computer be sourced? 3rd not looking for anything overly expensve a nice plug n play would be good which can be tuned and re-tuned.. 4th any opinions/preferences and why? the car has a full twin exhaust with extractors and cats, full air induction and plenum spacer.. any info would be of great help.. thanks in advance kari

nah was like a 97 camry..he was like a 60 yr old bloke jus come out of church!! not sure of the cost of the airbags.. but they said the seat cover was one of the more expensive things costing around $1400-$1700 from memory.. as for the reaction of the bloke, he was like "whats sort of car is that?", i proceeded to tel him getting the reponse "is that an import or somthing? does that mean it will be hard to get parts", to which i simply replied "yep....". cant comment on repiar quality as of yet but will let you guys know when i do... kari found a photo on my girlfriends phone!! sorry about the blurryness.. looks like i lost the photo's of the deployed airbags tho

about 2 weeks out of christmas some idiot smashed into me while he was doing a U-turn from a stopped postion curbside (i was doing about 50-60kms driving up my street).. left hand side of the car was all smashed from the start of the door all tha way back to the rear bumper(just wasnt touched). as the accident happened. about 1 second total, there was a loud bang, car slid sideways, VDC helped to pull it straight and i was pulled over on the gutter about 10-15m from where the accident occured. airbags delpoyed, so fast i had no idea they had come out until i pulled over as only the passenger side airbag(from inside the side of the seat through the leather) and the passenger curtain airbag (Dropped down from above the window) deployed as is was a side impact.. i have the highest praise for the safety features in the V35 and we should all feel very safe driving these.. there were cars parked all down the road and i wouldnt be supprised that if the car didnt have some of these features i verywell could have wound up in a car on the otherside of the road.. now as for repairs.. repair costis $10,700 all parts inc panels, new seat cover for the entire passengerside backrest, and new roof lining etc. i only just got the car into the repairshop on the 26th of jan and the accident happened on the 14th of dec.. this was because we had the wait for parts.. still all the parts havent arrived and its currently the 13th of feb. they told me i shoud be able to get the car back around the 20th of feb but im not crossing my fingures.. so thats about 2 and a half months in repairs.. so i dont recommend smashing up your V dont get me wrong i knew repairs would take a while etc as we all do.. but jus some food for thought.. and YES im going to keep the V once repaired and continue modifying it and YES the car is comprehensivly insured and was the other drivers fault so no cost for me!! cheers i'll shut up now kari P.s. sorry i had some photos but i jumped in the pool the oterh week with my phone in my pocket so now i dont have them anymore

Yep thats what it looks like on the v35.. otomoto.com.au (http://www.otomoto.com.au/HDSystems/) do coilovers for the Z33 350Z. so inturn im going with that these coilovers they are selling will fit the v35? cheers kari

Hey guys, this might seem like a silly question but i'll ask anyway as thats what forums are for! i was wondering in regards to coilover install on the rear of the V35 coupe. i noticed the spring is separate from the strut (so not a coilover set up standard). so does this mean that the rear 350z coilovers will not fit? or does the strut get replaced by the coilover set up? if so what happens with the old standard spring? (do you leave it out or do you need to install a soft spring instead?). i was just wondering as pictures of 350z coilovers (out of the car) seem to have the 4 coilovers with no extra springs etc.. any help would be appreaciated (I've tried looking). thanks in advance. kari

hey i was wondering if the v35 coupes have quite a loudish induction sound with the standard airbox and panel filter. mine tends to had a weird sound which kind of sounds kind of like air being sucked in a turbo car without the whine. this heppend at its loudest at around 2100rpm, if i have my stereo on i dont really notice it but with it off and the windows down i can hear it.. this does not happen when the cars in nutral only while im accerating in drive or a gear.. so i was wondering if this was normal and im just paranoid, or somthing more sinister. i've checked around my air filter and piping can cant seem to find anything wrong.. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks kari

you can have mine off of my 2003 coupe, im not using it.. im in newcastle NSW tho!

i was going through the car today and found this dangling in the passesngers side foot well. i was wondering what it was, and if it is supposed to be there? any help! ?!? thanks in advance, kari P.s. sorry abou the phone quality photo's!

so these will change the lower light in the headlight.. the one which doubles as the fog lights? i managed to not have my normal driving lights changed during compliance but the light below (Fog Light/highbeam) are abit yellowish in comparison

i'm gussing from the replys there are a couple around? yeah tamworth isn't too far.. name where your from and what you have peoples 03 Premium coupe -- Warnersbay

I was wondering today if there are any other V35 drivers who are from Newcastle NSW or surrounding areas who are members on this forum, as i've seen and heard about a couple getting around the area! KAri

Hey thought i'd finally introduce myself as i finally get to pick up the car tommora after wait for about 3 months!! My names kari and im from the newcastle NSW area (about 1.5hrs nth of sydney) I pick up my 03 V35 coupe PREMIUM tommora its got 46,888kms on the clock and was an auction grade of 4.5 silver(was after white but wasnt too fussed ) in colour as can be seen in pics and has the usual stuff BOSE Tv/Sat Nav Leather Suade rear pod things and that about it that i know of, havent seen the car in the flesh until tommora i bought the car without even seing a picture of the car! (abit stupid) but from what i hear from compliance etc everything is sweet with the car.. just has the standard 17s at the mo but that will be update very soon with larger wheels, coil overs tints etc. anyway enough of me babling heres some pics be good to meet some of you guys in the future through possble cruises etc? p P.s. perhaps comeone can help translate some of the auction sheet, mainly good and bad comments on the left?

im also interested if you sell them separatly cris, and is it just a sticker kit? P.s. im hanging for the english conversion discs for the tv!! kari

nice looking rim, very tidy and not too over the top, would go well with the look of the car. me personally am looking for somthing with abit more dish.. but those wheels your posted would keep well with the look of the v35 kari

Jus a quick post as my V35 is due for pick up very soon , i'll havew some pics up when i get it (STOCK). until then i need some help choosing wheels! I've already decided in 20" wheels(Staggered) but i need help on opinions. the car is silver so i was thinking maybie a darker style rim? but maybie not black? Price preferably under 3K but might stretch abit over if its a really nice set.. I've found a set of Vertini - Hennessy wheels in 20x8.5FRONT(2.5"Lip) and 20x10REAR(4"Lip) which look ok in the picture, but i'm having a little trouble picturing them on the car! these are available for $2950. Pic attached Sorry im not sure about the offsets! If you guys could let me know what u guys think or have any other ideas that'd be great! Thanks in advance Kari Of course the car will be lowered pretty far with coilovers also

Hey i've been watching this forum very closely but havent posted as im waiting for my carf to clear compliance before i formally introduce myself .. as for the disc im definitely keen, got the money sitting there waiting, im sure the coilovers can wait another week I'll post some pics up for my baby when i get her in a week or so Kari (NEWCASTLE NSW - 1.5hrs nth of syd)
