Hi fellow members, I am selling my car due to an upgrade. It is a 2006 350GT sillver coupe, automatic 61k on odometer Asking 23,500 The car has no problems, just want to sell it fast! http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-2006-11823555?base=1216&vertical=Car&Range=Price:Min,Max~0.5&eapi=2&sort=default&cr=2&__N=1246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%20898%201216&silo=Stock&find=350GT|CarAll

I used to be with AI insurance and I could choose any repairer. Their price was good, but NRMA offered better price The only issue I had with AI was the time it took them to process a dispute that I had with a repairer. The repairer did a poor job with clear coat and it took AI about 4-5 months to follow it up... Very frustrating. But when the initial accident occurred they were fast Hope it helps!

Thanks will look into it

Nvm found out how to search on my iPhone lol

Thanks night crawler! I dunno how to use the search function on my iPhone, but in the future I will search it up using a pc first.

Hi everyone !! Has anyone installed a carbon fiber rear diffuser on their V35 coupe? They sell the item on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/INFINITI-G35-COUPE-REAL-CARBON-REAR-BUMPER-DIFFUSER-2DR-/190617187069?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2c61ab72fd here is an example. I would like to know whether it is easy to have it installed. Can any panel beater install this item without too much trouble or do I have to look for someone specific? Cheers

Wow that is very cheap!! Where did u get that price and what size?

I normally used castrol edge 10w-40 but 5w-30 is the recommended engine oil grade on 350z manual, so I thought I'd give it ago. Plus on Mobil and castrolegde website the recommended oil for VQ35DE is 5w-30 I'm not an engine oil expert so I just followed the guide lines online as well as the 350z manual. What are u using At the moment?

I just changed my insurer to NRMA 23 now well in Jan. 1 at fault accident 2 years ago. 2006 coupe $1740 with 1000 basic excess. Mum is second driver - no accident history. Before I put mums name they quoted $3100 -_- I guess they believe if we share the car, there's less risk of an accident because mum has better driving history and less time for me behind the wheel lol

Hi guys I bought some Mobil 1 engine oil yesterday for $70 5.5L approx. Mobil 1 EP 5w-30. His name is nick. If you live in Sydney you can pick it up otherwise he can ship them out to you. I was pretty happy with the price do I thought I'd share it. He has some racing engine oils too, they are more expensive though. He stocks other brands as well like royal purple. You can search Mobil 1 on eBay.com.au or call him on 0405 509 621 Mobil 1 0w-40 is $100 here is Sydney for 5L but he sells 6 quarts I think 5.5L?? Approx for $65

Thanks Alvin

Thanks for that everyone !

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE50A on all four wheels. They came with the car when I imported it. The car had 14xxxkm on it and now 57000km (almost), so 43000kms I've driven. The rear's have about 10% left, and the front tyres have about 50-60% left, I didn't like the wet grip on the bridgestone RE50A, the rear loses slight traction if I hit a lane marker (or a similar small bump) above 80km/h, and slightly scary at acceleration going up hill, if pushed above 4800rpm in 2nd gear the rear loses traction in the wet but I guess that is natural... This happened before I installed plenum spacer + z-tube But dry traction is SUPERB ! Braking in the wet is also very good I think I will try Kumho KU31 for my rears. I want to sell my car so I don't want to spend too much, but I still want decent tyres for safety reasons.

Hi guys, Some of you may know from my previous post that I am selling my car. Well I had an enquiry sent to my phone yesterday from an US number. Said he was an Australian Marine Engineer and could not call me because there's bad reception out in the sea even though he texted. So he insisted on talking through e-mail. Well THE POINT is, he wanted my paypal e-mail address and made an offer that was slightly higher than the advertised price without even inspecting the vehicle. He said he would only pay me through paypal. Telling me to sign up if I don't have it, adding that all they (PayPal) need from me is a valid bank account details. He said he would arrange someone to pick up the car. He said it was for his dad, but he cannot come to Australia for the next few months cos of his job... Has anyone had the same experience before? I said no more negotiations unless he or the person picking up is willing to pay me with a bank cheque. Scam right? But what can someone do just with a paypal e-mail address? surely can't they just input random e-mail address and hack it if that was their motive?

Well that's a relief I thought something was wrong with my ad... Maybe I will consider a dealer trade in... But thanks guys!

Hey guys, I'm looking to sell my v35. But just confused about how much it is actually worth. Is the data on redbook.com.au accurate? How is the market for our cars? Should ours be more expensive or cheaper than the 350z when compared to them by the same year model... I've advertised it on Carsales, it's been 4 days now but no calls... been averaging 30-40 detailed views per day though...

Thanks for all the useful information guys! Really appreciate it

Also I know there's a post about this on the forum, But do u mind explaining the differences between the S, P and the SPs please? Thanks!

Thanks for that info, how do I find these import brokers? And how can I trust them? I normally get my cars inspected with a mechanic before I purchase it but if it's in Japan, how can I do it? I mean these auction grades, am I just supposed to believe it? There is a dealer in Sydney, he imports cars that I want without requiring a deposit, well a refundable deposit and I believe him cos I got my current v35 through him. So any info on these brokers would be great:)

Hi guys Im thinking about an upgrade to v36 coupe. I wanted to gather some opinions on how much you guys would pay for one... And also how much extra you would pay for type sp. I saw one on car sales asking $39990 for a black 2010 coupe with 6kms on it. The price seems really good, but it's in Victoria. it seems that cars in Vic are cheaper than NSW... Any opinions would be appreciated !!

Thanks for all the info guys. Appreciate it

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downloads/p1p2_conditions_dl1.html It clearly says Nissan 350Z and 370Z (including private or 'grey' import variants eg. Infiniti G35, Infiniti G37, Skyline 350GT (V35), Skyline 370GT (V36)) are prohibited for Red and Green P platers

Thanks for the reply. Mine has the bluetooth logo and the Bluetooth button on both the centre console and the steering wheel. 6 disc cd changer but no Bose on the MD player. If it is a premium doesn't it come with the Bose stereo? If you have a manual + I think rays 19 inch factory wheels then u are likely to have LSD

Hi guys I need some advice here, I have noticed when I enter corners at high speeds the rear suspension tends to not cope with the balance as I would like it to. It's a bit soft... I would like to keep the comfortable drive but to improve this problem are coil overs my only option or would sway bars fix it? Opinions would be appreciated:)

Just wondering does series 3 have different criteria to distinguish premiums and non premiums? I have leather/suede seats Dual climate Auto lights with bi-xenons (standard on all 2006 models) Steering control However I'm not sure whether it has a Bose stereo or not. The centre console is different to previous models and there the MD player is, it says MD ---(something) instead of Bose... The sound system in the car is quite good. Can any other 06 model owners verify this? Also someone mentioned 06 premium models have sunroof and keyless engine start, but i thought they were only for US models. Thanks
