Hey all. I've already posted up in the main newbies section, but thought I'd post here too 'coz this is where I'll likely spend most of my time.

The name's Jacob, I live in Sydney's inner west, and I just bought an '03 V35 coupe, with six speed and Brembos, just shy of 103xxx k's. Pretty sure it's the premium pack, as I have full black leather, dual zone climate control (though AC needs a re-gas, I'm told) and Bose audio. Doesn't have the sunroof though :(

post-61518-0-43466000-1450643906_thumb.jpg

Current mods are: 20 inch rims (which I'm undecided if I like), compressed stock springs (I've been told they were taken out and heated in a furnace for this, not done on the car thank god), cat-back exhaust, and dual DIN alpine DVD head unit to replace the pop-up TV.

From what I can tell, the car's never had the CAS issue, though the driver's door rattles a bit sometimes and the headlights are pretty faded, but besides that and the AC, I'm quite happy with it :)

EDIT: I've noticed that the tacho on this thing is lazy as hell, from what I've researched this seems to be the first instance of this I've found, anyone else heard of or experienced this?

Cool, thumbs up!

Compressed springs sounds like a recipe for disaster to me (TBH I don't know anything about them). First thing I'd be doing is buying some good springs, like Eibach or Swift!

Thanks mate :)

Yeah I was a little concerned when I read compressed springs, but the last owner has had the car for a year without issue. I am looking into getting 350z springs, as they are a tad lower than stock I understand.

Hi Jetwreck- that looks exactly like mine!. (Before the mods). Sounds like your preparing a weapon!. Mine untouched for 8 years (came with Impul chip & lip spoiler, fujitsubu exhaust). Annoying week off the road -Getting a new radiator and fans(fans are rare as hens teeth).. Good luck with the mods.. Let us know how she rolls when it launches!

Hey people,

Just recently purchased a 2003 V35 350GT from a Japanese auction through Iron Chef Imports. :)

It's a manual transmission, premium model, 80,000 km. It's in excellent condition inside and out, except for a few minor things such as scratches on the wheels which will be seen to once it arrives. Very happy with my purchase, but won't see it for about 10 weeks. Oh the pain! A few photos are below, I was also sent many more detailed photos from the import agent. Once it arrives I'll post a few "Fresh from Japan" pics in the appropriate thread. ;)

Only downside is no TV/Nav, which by itself isn't a big deal, but I was hoping to get a Nismo instrument cluster which apparently only works with the TV/Navigation package. Oh well, can't have everything!

If you see me around in Adelaide, feel free to say hey!

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
