I would not buy it!

Appears like the basic bottom of the range Auto version of the car with a Nismo wheel only and then some other aftermarket stuff.

That car has been for sale for more than 12 months.

Note it is missing the cold air intake plastic from the front of the engine bay... not sure why you would deliberately remove this so I would assume accident damage?

Not sure on the yellow wires either...

Also they used to have good pictures but now the pictures offered are of totally random cars - not the same one - never trust someone who does this! (different wheels, one with a spoiler one without...)

Then there is now the picture of 3 cars??

I half think the guy has maybe sold the original car but has imported another or even 2 more and is trying to use his original add to sell the next couple - hence why the photos have changed.

One car (with the factory 18's) appears to be of a manual! The aftermarket wheels are fitted to the "Nismo" one - the Auto...

My 6 speed manual has more of a "sports edition" to it than that car - Nismo rear spoiler - the big one not a lip one nor the flat one, the nismo wheel and the front lip.

Funny that someone should mention this ad. I enquired about it and got no response, even sms-ed the guy. And, about 2 weeks ago, I saw a silver "Nismo" edition on ebay - strangely enough, another fraud!

Anyway, I am sick of hunting around for one, plus the Mrs wanted a "family car" so I went ahead and bought a 4 door with premium pack with factory bodykit lips/aprons...Should arrive in 3 weeks!

As to Ben Lippa of J-Spec, thanks mate for all your help with the Aristo. It's a shame to see me not follow through with it as I've opted for this V35 instead.

On another note, it is so difficult to find "bling bling" for the V35 Sedan. Things like bodykits, exhaust system, coil overs, etc are proving a problem for me. Any help would be good.

One question no one has asked (only touched on in one post) LSD???

Is this just an option on the 6MT coupe and only a standard feature on the tracks? Or can I expect to find one with any of the coupe's like the brembo's and how they're ment to be a "track" feature but somehow every 6MT has them.

to find a sedan in manual is quite rare as it is, i don't think i have ever seen one with the brembo's thus i doubt it was offered

to find out for sure, why don;t you check out g35driver.com and see if brembo's were offered on the G35 sedan's that will gve you your answer quicker than we can

also, with regards to "premium" packs that are offered, you will findthat most people that advertise don;t even know what the options are. i have seen cars with premium being offered as standard, while others that have no leather being advertised as "premium".

Hey mate I have a 2003 v350 GT sedan 6sp manual non turbo wich does not have the brake upgrade.When I was looking for a 4 door I never found one with the big brakes and i looked all over the place.

Its from the Auction....... the people who bidded on this car for me at the auction told me it premium model cause its got 18s and comes with half leather..... but i never trust them from what they say.

I highly recommend checking out the car before making the purchase.

I agree that the best quality comes through main auction houses in Japan, however, why would you save couple of hundred dollars on a car that is worth more than $10k, that's just silly.

if any one interested to have their cars checked for FREE at the auction, please let me know!

brembo are only offered for coupes

hey guys just wondering why some coupes have the clear front left and right indicators and some are that orange? any difference?

The clear ones are after market indicators that we purchase from the US (mainly) to replace the standard orange ones.

As standard they all come with the orange side indicators.

cheers, mine came with factory momo, so no missing parts on the steering wheel, cant really notice the dual climate ctrl button... :D

Howdy, just brought 04 350gt premium that has factory momo stearing wheel. Collecting soon. BTW - how do you operate cruise control with momo wheel (does not have controls on wheel) I assume you can operate from an indicator stalk or something?

V35 Skylines never came with Cruise Control for coupes, i think you can retro fit it in Australia, but it was not offered in Japan by Nissan. The normal steering wheel button are for Audio Controls

I have only seen few V35 Skyline Sedan with radar guided cruise control, probably a hand me down option from Nissan Fuga(a.k.a Infinity M35 i think)

Hi Chris, is the cruise control kit DIY or pro only?

Also, do you do any work for "Top Gear Vehicle Imports"? I have a V35 Coupe coming in through them next month...

yep I have done work for bruce gearing in the past. mainly deal with andrew. give me a call during the day and I'll go over a few things with you. the kit is pro fit only. no DIY.

Cool, works been busy this week, will try and give you a call this Friday or otherwise early next week.

Hi all, has anyone ever come across LSD on an auto. Im due to pick up my new v today. Its a auto premium (70th anniversery i think) and during the test drive, really felt like it had LSD?? >_<

cheers

scrap that, got a better feel for the car now.. No LSD

think 2005+ models also can play mp3's on cd.

2005+ USDM models can. JDM cannot. I actually dropped MP3 mech under a jap one a few years back for sh1ts and giggles.

hi there people i have a premium v35 skyline. I just like to know if there is a factory hid kit in my car or if any other premiums have it because mine start up blue then slowly turns into clear white colour as i would like to buy the 30 000k lights bulbs if it does have the kit or if not i would have to buy a hid kit any help would be appreciated thanks peeps

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
