Heya guys.,

My names Zac.

Have been a fan on the V35s for a long time but never bought one.

Imported a few toyota Celsiors for my self and had a blastin Toyota Aristo.

I used to work for SVi (5 1/2 years) and every time i drove a V35 for a client or imported on I feel deeper and deeper in love.

I have jsut sold the aristo and im going through the Auctions as we speak to import a Clean example.

once I get one at auction ill put up all the info.

Hey Guys,

I have just imported a Silver 06 V35 5AT with 12k on the clock. I should see it this week and I have new rims, and clear indicators and double din console replacement part sitting in lounge room waiting to go on. It should be an interesting change from my previous R33 GTR.

When I get it I hope to get it lowered a bit, add cruise control and hopefully put a supercharger in (if the auto transmission can handle it).

Hi everyone,

I've been reading the (very helpful) posts for 6 mths and thought i should stop being a passive observer. I picked up a bargain priced V35 back in Aug 08 just prior to the dollar plummeting. Dodged a major price hike! I have a 2003 V35 Coupe in silver. It's the 70th Anniversary edition with the beige full-leather interior. Had only 11700 km's when i got it. (still had that new car smell). Best car i've ever owned, although my previous cars were very average. Only thing i've noticed with the car is i get alot of road noise in the cabin, especially at approx 40kph or 70kph. I've had the alignment looked at and the guy reckons i just have noisy tires. Anyone else had something similar to this?

Welcome HicksV35!!

I've also noticed the noise in my V35, as did my mechanic. He suggested that it was also tyre related and put it down to "Cheap" tyres that are on the car... These were the tyres that came with the car and they haven't required changing as yet.. So until i change my tyres i won't know if this is the case... Has any1 else had this problem and resolved it with better quality tyres or by any other means?

Dwain & Hicks V35--Dont sweat it guys it will be tyres.

My car was quite as a mouse when the new tyres went on with compliance. (Got Fact 19's 40 series) Nankang the directional unfortunately). Aspect ratio 40/45 depending on 18's or 19's will make slight diff.

After they wore in (4000+k's) it was noisy as sin. Rotated them at 10000 they were bit better. But aside of that mild fujitsubu exhaust note--there is not creaks, no rattles, and no wind noise and I've had mine off the dial !..(11/05 6mt. ).Will be getting better tyres soon. Search out Tyres thread on this.

Welcome and good luck with your new rides--you wont look back !

Cheers

Elie

Hey guys, how's everybody doing?

Long time lurker; refrained from introducing myself until I got my Vee. Recently took delivery of an 06 Lakeshore Slate V35 auto with 6k kms on the clock and what is hopefully new car smell! :P

Thanks for the reply Dwini.

Always more comforting knowing you're not the only one with a particular problem. My car also has the original tires. I'm assuming due to the v low km's when i got it that the originals passed the compliancing. Will do the same as you and wait until i put new one's on and see what happens. Until then i'll turn up the volume on the stereo. (or maybe i'll smash my credit card and get a new set of 19's instead)

    • All 4 wires from the head unit into the converter. That's both channels, so you do not lose any bass information that might be in one channel and not the other (which decent music should have, but I'm sure the shit that the kids these days are listening to probably doesn't). Connecting both channels with alleviate the floating input problem highlighted by Greg above. As to what you should do with the outputs from it - they should also both be connected to 2 input channels of an amp that can sum the two channels and yield a single low passed output to a single channel. There is often a switch on channel amps to achieve that goal. If you're just listening to modern electronic music, then you can probably ignore the fact that there's two channels and just listen to one of them. If there is missing information it will probably only improve it by not being able to hear it anyway.
    • Does this mean now that it doesn't need to meet Targa spec you can ditch the twins, and crank up the power?
    • I would just use one channel, if you use L+ and L-.  I would connect the R+ and R- input wires together, since it seems to have a 12V input, it might have some small preamps in there and you don't want them sitting with open circuit inputs.
    • It’s over 25 years old, there’s probably a loophole to be able to be able to register it now 
    • as we all know the Q50 stereo from factor has no RCA outs so i bought a Kicker output line convertor to use from the factory sub. but im wondering as the device has L+ L- R+ R- which ones do i use for my subwoofer? its only going to be 2 wires as im not worrying about doing my stock speakers just my sub. do i just use the 2 L+ L- or do i use a combo of L+ R- or what?
