Hey All,

After months of searching finally got my V35 coupe. Auto with factory sat nav and premium pack. Got DVD player installed running through factory screen and FM modulator, otherwise stock as a rock atm but many mods to come!

Peace :/

Hey Guys,

Ive been on this site for a fair bit, well since i first thought of buying one all the way till now when my V35 is just 2months old.

Well, i imported it myself, like everything was done by me, i didn't have the pleasure on giving money away to people just to fill out

my forms and stuff, only the compliance was done by Tokyo Imports (Sydney). It was a big experience a tiring and stressful one too, from buying the car all the way to getting it on the road, but it was all worth it, i got my baby and saved a lot compared to the usual buyers.

Anyways its a Silver 5AT, base package, with 18inch aftermarket WORK rims, got it that way from japan, oh and i put a Black overlay on the roof, i think it makes it look super neat.

well, hope to be more active from now on in the forums!

HI all,

Thought I'd introduce myself after finding this forum not long ago. I currently own a 2006 Pearl White V35, Auto, 19" Rays Rims (Factory), Spork Exhaust (Factory) and leather interior. I've had this car about a year now.

Prior to this, I had a 2005 Silver V35 for about 6 months, basically the same except without the rear wing and Exhaust. After the accident and subsequent write off, my wife and I didn't want any other car. It was a shame, as the Silver one was absolutely immaculate and only 7,500klms on the clock when we got it.

It's great to see such a good community of V35's. When I first bought it, it was extremely rare to see one on the roads and the car definitely got a lot of looks and questions.

I'll post up some photos of the cars a bit later, unfortunately it's a bit hard to do this at work. :/

Cheers,

Andrew.

Hey guys just introducing myself.

Ive been looking through the forum for the past few months and now im pretty much ready to go out and buy one. Im looking for a 350gt coupe manual and will probably get it in the next few weeks.

At first sight i fell in love with the car as im sure it is the same with you guys. Gone through phases at looking for other cars such as an Integra type S or wait for my full license to buy a sti but i seem to keep coming back to the skyline.

Just a question for all you owners, are all the associated problems that come with the car such as the power windows and the other things common amongst a lot of the cars? anything in particular to look out for while im car hunting?

cheers.

Look for a 70th addittion for full leather "2003" TV and Bose. if you buy from private ask them to start the car for you. If He/She revs the shit out of when they start it just walk away. if from a dealer ask is they do a warranty and if they do then you don't have to worry about the chance of having window problems ;)

Just keep reading the forums for all the info you need

Good luck

P.S Get a blue one, blue looks great

P.S.S Wish i got a blue one

lol sounds hard to find but i like that half leather half suede look. Yeh im really want the premium one for all the goodies but when you're on a budget especially for a manual which is heaps pricey getting the colour you want isnt the main priority its mainly the condition ey. White is my preference anyways.

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
