Guys I just wanna say its more than possible for a car to have low klms-obviously depending on age- mine had- 14400klms when I imported but it was only 20months old & compliers certified my odometer. Japan is a small tight place so 5-10000klm pa is prob the norm compaired to 10-20000 for most Aussies. Sure Ive seen some shockers also but there are usually some indicators ( plastics/ leathers, engine etc)

Ditto, my 2003 came into the country in 2008 with 19,000klm on the clock. Had log book and Jap auction papers to match. Also the interior/exterior condition of the car matched. Having said this, no one takes into consideration the time the car is spent actually running. The Japanese drive short distances but spend a long time doing so.............think about it. Imports should really have timers not speedometers :)

Hi Guys,

I just got my baby transported to the local wharf last week. I couldn't bare to wait for DETORS to drag their high heels lol :P so I elected to drive her home while I wait. Then return for the Sticker on a temporary unreg permit. I gave her a good soak and wash... :)

That is called the "fauve" interior. Factory option and looks very nice.

Thanks for that, my Chrome translator has always called it Fobu... different type of leather to the black and beige and manditory with the faux wood interior... So much better than the beige but strangely less popular..

Only ever saw one sedan with tan and cruise.... Gave up on both in the end..

Very happy with the overall look of the car for now. Would still like to drop it an inch or so but i'm not in any hurry.

Was wondering what they would look like on a V35, now I know that they look bloody fantastic!

So over the last few months I've been doing a few aesthetics changes to my V36...powder coated wheels, angel eyes in my headlights and blacked out roof and grille. Debating to black out the side mirrors and fully black grille or to leave it...? Thoughts?

Hello guys! First time posting, although signed up on this forum a while back.
Got my V35 Coupe MT December last year and it has been an amazing car so far!

Car is basic package (no satnav or BOSE) but seems it was lightly modified in Japan by the Japanese ower.
It has TEIN height adjustable coilovers and Fujitsubo Legalis R? (not sure) Y pipe and exhaust. According to

previous owner, ECU was modded in Japan too but speed limiter (180Km/h) not removed so maybe not...

Car has been alright in fuel and it makes average of 9.8L/100Km, 70% freeway 30% suburb drive.

Anyways, a quick and fun car to drive!

Changing my RAYS TE37 to SSR GTV03 that I bought in Japan last August! Took nearly 4 months to get them as the manufacturer in Japan needed to make them...

I brought the front two as check-in baggage first as the size was available but the rears where not ready when I came back from holidays from Japan. My aunt posted the rear wheels to me in Melbourne and it finally arrived yesterday! The TE37s are much lighter but change in the look counts too!

SSR GTV03 Matt Black

Front 18" 8.5J +22 (11Kg)

Rear 18" 9.5J +22 (11.20Kg)

Same as my TE37s to keep the current spec. Will fit them very soon! Just put some rim guard yesterday.

Currently using SUMITOMO HTR ZIII 245/40/18R on the front and 265/35/18R on the rear.

Not bad tyres for the price but the inner side of the rears are wearing badly due to slight camber.. ;[

    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
