Hey Guys,

I'm buying a V35 Coupe and thinking of getting the colour Carribean Blue, but am undecided. I like, cause it's rare, and really shows the cars lines. But still don't know if I'm 100% happy with it.

Any Thoughts?

cheers

Bobby

nice color mate go for it

its not bad, but it looks a bit pastel....ie not tough enough.

I think that's whats got me worried.

Actually a bit surprised with all the people who like it.

The reason I'm considering it is cause there's one for sale here that I like, and if I can convince myself that I like the colour, then I don't have to wait 2 months for another V35 to come from Japan.

But there's just something that is not sitting right.

I think in bright sun the colour is great, but in cloudy pics it can look a little dull.

Thanks Guys,

Appreciate all the opinions.

I'm still not 100% sure, so I'm gonna hold off and stick with the auctions for at least this week.

There's a silver 2005 6pd up today, so fingers crossed it checks out ok, and I make the winning bid.

Cheers

The colors not bad but will be very hard to find matching wheels to go with it down the track...what do u do? Chrome? Black? White? Gunmetal? Non of those colors seem to match up with that shade of blue..kinda like buying an outfit but no shoes to match.

Oh and besides..I saw a new model camry today with that identical color too :happy:

haha - my neighbour just got that colour camry and I thought of the same thing. :-)

I'm bidding on a silver one in around 30mins so hopefully all will go well, and I won't have to worry about the blue. It's just tempting cause the cars here in Australia at a godd price, and means no waiting for shipping, complaince etc etc.

BUT, I'm still not sure if I'll be happy with it. The wife loves the blue, but then that's another reason not to get it.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
