Hey Guys,

Yep this has been brought up before, and is currently being discussed by the moderators.

At this stage it is being held off as there may be a reconfiguration of the For Sale section which could give you state and model listings at the press of a button.

Hopefully there will be more to advise soon, and I'll keep you guys updated.

Cheers

I believe if we have more sponsers in the thread we will have one pretty soon

however, we really need to have one for this model of car, becuz in the usa market, they really build up a very good reputation for this and having a lot of fun there....i believe if we have one for sale section to attract more business trades to bring as many parts as they can, it's gonna be a bigger market than other skyline models...

hope we really have one soon then i will stop looking TT kit in the US market and communicate with them at ver very slow procedure due to the day and night time difference....and the hassult like shipping or insurance issues won't come up anymore...

cheers

All Vendors are welcome to become paying advertisers on Skylines Australia. There is a special section for Vendors who do this.

I think the problem you're describing above has more to do with the amount of V35's in Australia rather than not having a specific vendor section for them. Again the new format should allow for model specific searching.

With so few cars, there is minimal constant demand for any specific products and thus few vendors are interested in paying to advertise for a handful of cars.

Personally I would love this to not be the case and would love parts to be available here. As an example I just paid $150 US shipping for a clutch and flywheel, and now need to get brake pads and a few other things.

My only advise is to try some Aussie 350Z suppliers. Another option is for us to start "lobbying" Aussie shops such as Just Jap, Unique Autosports etc etc to start stocking V35 parts. The only way they will do this is if they see there is a demand. So we need ring them first before we shop overseas. Of course it doesn't help when the parts are cheaper to ship from the US :-)

correct.

indeed. I import a lot of specific audio stuff for them as it is and most of it sits and gathers dust. now in comparison to other models most of that moves easily.

depends. most people ASSUME that things are the same between the car (G35,350Z) and in some cases they are not. audio/electronics is point and case. they look the same but its not.

as for lobbying. supply vs demand - no demand so no supply. give it a few years once these cars age a bit and things will be come more readily available.

agree with the point of USDM items being cheaper than JDM. I get this same problem in my industry.

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
