Seeing as these v35's arent that common, it is rarer to find someone who has worked on these cars a lot and so was wondering if you're in brisbane - can you give me your contact for the guy you trust to service your beloved v35. Have been recommend by a few to try GT Auto Garage at Newmarket, they look promising but also expensive. They're also moving away from using Motul oil, and standing behind Redline - anyone heard of this?

Would be great to get a short list of recommendations...

carmen imports. craig does servicing and compliance . he also owns a few of these himself. wife drives a M35 stagea ARX.

Thanks chris, will check out their website of they have one. BTW, want to have you look at my v35 in the not too distant future about the fm expander - want to get my 106.9 station going.

anyone else have other places they take their v35 to?

I'm looking to get a 2003 model 350GT 2 door coupe auto/triptronic and unfortunately one of the main factors involved in buying is where to get it serviced. I work on the southside of brisbane - somewhere close to there that could service the car would be ideal. What about a workshop/mechanic that say they can service a 350Z? From what I have read they share alot of similar parts and have the same engine etc.

What about on the goldcoast for servicing? I usually do it all myself but i got third party warranty when i brought the car (anyone know the ins and outs with these warranty things? What can you do yourself and still be covered, what must be done by a mechanic?) THanks

i used K&G Automotive Servicing in Underwood 38083321 after someone on this forum recommended them. in teh 10 years iv been driving, best experience iv ever had with a workshop doing a service for me. highly recommended.. ill be booking in there again for my next serve in a few weeks time.

I've used Luke at Auto Co Mechanical/LPG (Woolloongabba) 3891 2511 - I have great respect and trust in him with my car.

I've also used Chris at Doug Maurer Motor Repairs (Tweed Heads) 55366 663 - is pretty cluey on imports in general, which is a bonus and always has time for you, very patient!

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
