Yes, have tried interior lights.. I found the brighter interior lights too bright at night and switched back to the standard bulbs.. but if you like them.. fine. I have a torch in the glove box for finding lost stuff in dark parts of the car. Parking lights are not supposed to be bright, it will probably make them illegal if they are too bright. No. Plate lights.. well, they don't really need to be any brighter. There has also been a few posts of issues with the interior lights not working properly with LEDs.

try this. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/g35-clear-side-marker I would have to disagree in regard to the LEDs.. they cost 'bucks', but return zero 'bang', unless you just like a different colour light.. Plain old lamps do the job just fine.

I have them on my sedan, and was initially going to remove the, but found they are great for leaving my windows down a little while parked in the sun at work in north Qld.. no one can see they are down a bit and if it rains, you don't have a worry, and the car stays so much cooler!! (I park in a secured parking area before anyone quotes the recent news story!!)

I think you can get genuine clear indicators for about that price.. haven't searched for a while though.

No such thing as a 250gt coupe (or 300gt).. all V35 coupes are 350gt
-
Looking at the mounting instructions, I wouldn't be carrying anything much larger either than a bike or 2 either.. It's bolted to the aluminium bumper frame, which is in turn just bolted to the body of the car. I don't think I would be brave enough to tow even a light trailer with this setup... certainly not the 1500lb (680kg) it is supposably rated for.

Wtb: Rhs Door Mirror (Preferably Silver)
sonicii replied to sethaiyaar's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
yes, both sides are motor adjustable, but the physical housing is angled inward more when in the open position on the passenger side, so if the mirror is set central in the housing, it is roughly in the correct position for the driver. LHD mirror housing will be angled to be roughly correct for the passenger on a RHD car. The motor adjustment may have enough range to correct this, but it will likely be at the extent of the adjustment range. If you are able to adjust them correctly, then it shouldn't be a big issue.. just thought I would let you know. -

Umm. Do you realize left and right door mirrors are angled differently? If these are for a LHD car you might not be able to get the mirrors to adjust far enough to line the up for a RHD car. Note- given previous posts, I thought I had better clarify Right hand drive is what we have in Aust. -
This is the only one I am aware of.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/346667-servicing-your-v35-list-of-whats-needed/ for the V35, but most items would be the same. some of the V36 owners might need to get together and put together a V36 list..

Eoi/fs: Nissan Skyline V35 350Gt-8
sonicii replied to ..350GT8..'s topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Sure. Serving is easy as long as you use the right fluid (which is quite expensive). But if something goes wrong, you will still struggle to find someone willing to crack them open. But as a transmission, I don't think they are inherently unreliable compared to standard autos. -

There are a bunch of them on car sales at the moment.. But yours seems to have a lot of extras which makes your asking price quite reasonable. I think it is the repair costs of the CVT 'IF',something goes wrong that scares people. Good luck!! -

It isn't like you are looking for an uncommon colour either!! Maybe they are commonly damaged and therefore sought after?? -

sonicii replied to sethaiyaar's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
sorry, I didn't intend to offend.. just was struggling (and still am) to understand how the RHS of a car or anything else could ever be anything but the RHS.. unless the front/rear of the object wasn't immediately obvious. And your right.. I didn't Google, the idea that this was difficult to understand never crossed my mind.. -
V35 Electric Seat Problems
sonicii replied to SNEEZYC34's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
You will need to remove the black plastic coating from the side of the switches to access the screws. Not sure how much you can dismantle the switches though, you might need a whole switch assy if you are sure it is the switch. -
Infiniti G35 Sedan Parts On A V35 Sedan
sonicii replied to redcorpsjames's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Just on that topic. several aftermarket Y-Pipes for the LHD vehicle will hit on the steering in out RHD car, usually some minor modification with a hammer sorts out it. There is a few threads on that too if you want further info. -

Lol.. Left and Right are relative to the observer? I wish I had thought of that in school when the teacher said 'raise your right hand' -

?? how can 'Right Hand Side' mean anything other than the drivers side?? (in Australia) -
Infiniti G35 Sedan Parts On A V35 Sedan
sonicii replied to redcorpsjames's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Mostly.. excluding LHD specific parts or items unique to the 300GT (USA didn't get this specific variant). or things like a speedo cluster, which will be in MPH. also be aware how the infiniti model naming works. A G35 has a 3.5L engine.. so it could be a V35 or V36 body. Make sure you buy parts for a 01-06 model (or 01-04 for series 1 specific parts). -
If you have auto headlights, you need to turn the headlight switch to the first position to put them in 'auto' mode.
-
Mine wasn't as it wasn't connected to anything. my auto headlights still work fine. I would have expected the auto headlight sensor is intergrated into the dash? This antenna has been added on top of the dash with its own wiring tucked behind the dash.
-
Mine already had the toll card reader removed and a standard glove box housing fitted when I bought it (2nd owner in Aust). The only reason I know it had the reader is all the documentation for it was still in the handbook. It also had a small black square antenna mounted on the dash, hard up against the windscreen. I recently removed it and it was connected to nothing, so I assumed it was the antenna for the Toll card.
-
I used Meguiars on my old J30 maxima, the dash was still soft and flexable when the car died at 18 years old. I did use a windscreen shade when parked in the sun though.
-
I just use a windscreen cover when parked in the sun, and have the windows tinted. That also protects the steering wheel, door trims, seats, gear lever, centre console, etc.

^^ this. The actual pastic facia is easy to cut. But the AC control/ stereo control is all integrated into one large board behind the facia. I recall seeing a pic of someone who had modified the factory board to suit a double DIN facia and it was a big mess of wires.
-
You mean the same shape as the V36 coupe?? (Since it is a V36, with Infiniti G37 badges)
