My car is back up for sale after being messed around with a deal that fell through, but this time - much cheaper. Location: Gold Coast, Queensland Price: $25,997 Up for sale is my pride and joy, a customised 2004 Nissan V35 Skyline (70th Anniversary edition). It's packed full of factory and aftermarket features, appeals to all ages. This car is limited edition. All factory premium features included. It comfortably seats 4 and is a 5 speed automatic. The car is a consistent head turner and sounds great right all the way through the rev-range. I've spent a lot of time and money (roughly $15,000) on the very best modifications for this car to get it to where it is. The car has been religiously maintained and has full service history every 5000 kms. I imported the car from Japan in May last year with 76,000 kms on the odometer, and have since been using it as a daily driver. I'm now required to travel long distances up and down the highway each day for work and would like to downgrade to something more suited to this purpose. The car has been very reliable and I've never had any issues with it. Factory features: Full Cream Leather Interior Air Ioniser (Filter) Heated Seats Sun Roof Premium Bose 8 Speaker Sound System Automatic Headlights Pop-up 7" LCD screen (Displays mileage and other statistics, with a TV Tuner, local channels can be received) Steering wheel volume control (needs to be hooked up) Sequential Sports Shift Aftermarket modifications: Most of these aftermarket parts were imported from the USA and are extremely rare to find in Australia. I don't know of another car with a Motordyne Engineering setup, bodykit or paintwork like mine in Australia. Estimated cost of individual modifications include: Darkest Legal Tint (%35) ~$200 Nissan 350Z Intake Tube ~$200 JWT Pod Filter ~$100 Kenwood 7" Double-din DVD Player / Radio / Blutooth (Phone + Connection) / More. ~$1000 Motordyne Engineering Shockwave TDX2 Exhaust ~$2200 Motordyne Engineering Dual Titanium Exhaust Tips ~$250 Motordyne Engineering Advanced Resonating Tuning Pipes ~$1000 Motordyne Engineering Plenum Spacer ~$400 TransGo ShiftKit ~$600 Unorthadox Racing Crank Pulley ~$200 20" Vertini Fairladys ~$2500 Kuruma Z Front Bodykit ~$900 Impul Sideskirts ~$900 Chargespeed w/ Carbon Fibre diffuser Rear Bodykit. ~$900 Custom Paint Job - Pure White with a touch of Blue Pearl ~$3000 Nissan 350Z Springs ~$300 Custom UpRev Osiris Tune ~$1200 You will not find a V35 even similar to this in Australia. The car is also very powerful for a N/A V6, pulling 228.8whp. - (See Dyno Sheet). However pretty fuel economic as well (9.8KM's / L - Approx 650KM's per tank) I'm so passionate about this car that I even made a website www.sgv35.com where I have documented the journey of the car. It's with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye to my dream car, but unfortunately tough decisions need to be made in life. I hope that someone else can experience the same joy from this car that I have. Please feel free to contact me for any further details on 0411175574 or email me at [email protected]. Additional Details: Registration Valid for QLD until Jan 2013, If you want me to pay for another 6 months rego let me know and we'll work something out. KM: 111,000KM genuine.

Will look into it, just have to weigh up if its worth it since im still trying to sell.

I bought an UpRev tuners package about a year ago and got a tuner to give it a go. Might try East Cos tCustoms to give it a retune, see if they can get better results. I get around 171KWs as an 5AT, but my modlist seems a little bit bigger than yours, although you are a 6MT.

I have a set of 25mm spacers if thats the depth you're looking for - never used. Bought them when I was planning on buying a set of 370z stock rims.

I'm quiet liking the new hatchback turbo's. Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Renault Megane, VW Golf R. Might be one of those bad boys.

To be 100% honest, right now I'd say imports are the place not to go. The import market is dying tragically in Australia. It seems cheaper to buy a car here than import it now. V35's used to sell for 25 - 30k stock easily, now you see some selling for 15k. (although not the best condition, but still lowering the market). The problem with the V35 is that it's not a searched for car, at the moment there are 163 V35's on carsales, all undercutting one another with next to no one buying them. The car market in general right now is getting stomped, and V35's and imports seem to be feeling the brute of that.
-
His prices actually look really really really high in my opinion. But I guess he is a dealer. Seems like huge profit margins if he's importing himself.
-
Ha, yeah - all good. Just seems like if you're whilling to spend 25k on a stock V35, why not throw in an extra 4k for 15k worth of mods. I'm fussy with paint too, when I first got my bodykit put on and matched (as seen here: http://sgv35.com/2011/11/06/photo-shoot-with-the-vs/ ) you can see the colors were a bit off when painted - so I got the entire thing resprayed. I couldn't handle looking at my two tone paint job.

I heard some Sheldon guy was selling a pretty Mint V35. It's white with a sunroof (but unfortunetly has the cream leather - which actually doesn't look too bad once you get used to it) http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-2004-13563101? Would even lower the price for a forum member Also, to answer your question - Pearl white is hard as shit to match. Which is the reason i got my entire car resprayed White with Blue Pearl.

I was having the same issue as you, exactly the same with the turning / noise stopping. I bought a wheel hub from the US for around $200 and got it fitted. The sound came back pretty quickly. Now I'm just leaving it.

You need to at least put up pictures to support the argument. -

in his mind i guess it's like seeing a bunch of fat ugly chicks and stating that one of them is the better looking one (although all are fat and ugly) - in his mind. -

Thanks, I'm actually swapping this for a stationwagon, so i can't really pay them out Also, who even puts a spoiler on a V? A lip looks nice, but a spoiler just makes you look like a toss. -

It's all about personal preference, and personally I think V35's are sexier. Hense why i have a V35 not a stagea. Those pictures you posted didn't do the V justice imo Now there's a car that gets constant thumbs up! -

I'd say the V35's look 20x better than any Stagea. From what I've seen Stagea is just the retarded brother of the skyline, sure he can go faster but he looks uuuugggglllyyy. But I mean, it's an opinion - people are entitled to them -
