I went for a test drive today at Kamikaze Motors and the V35 went great, it's a 2003 Premium with Leather seats but no brimbo breakes. In my last post i was tossing up between the lancer evo 7 and the V35 and by driving this car with all the features i think i'm going ahead with it.

Kamikaze motors is getting 6 soon so i'm going to check the out, hopefully there will be one which is a premium pack, not to fussed about the leather or brimbo breakes. Defently want the lcd screen though.

Does anyone know if theres anything important i should look out for in these imports?

cheers

keep reading :cool: most of this has been covered.

if it relates to navi or TV ask :rofl:

also I had someone ring me about a car from there - you?

No chris, it wasnt me. Didn't you get his name? I will get the navi software and ipod cable from you though. Gotta buy the car first. Should be a few weeks before i get it. Will email you. Do you know if i can get cruise control or doesnt need to be universal?

cheers

I do a cruise kit for that car.

as for nav software - there isn't any. the system in that car DOES NOT have maps for Oz.

the ones you have seen from me are garmin based.

But there is a release coming soon yeah? I ead the thread about jap to english, so i'd be interested in that. Do you know anyone in Melb who can enable dvd movies to be watched on this screen as well? Or isnt that posible yet as well?

    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
