Hi all, I've been a member here for quite while but haven't really contributed much - mainly because I don't currently own a V35! Long story short I've loved these cars for a few years now and 18 months ago was a nasty pre-purchase inspection suprise away from buying a 2005 350GT premium pack sedan (full black leather etc.). Fortunately the inspection saved me some serious dough and oened my eyes to some real shiftiness.

18 months and a Honda Accord Euro later (brilliant car, just no guts), I decided to give into my urges and have put a deposit down on a 2003 premium pack coupe with a sunroof and what looks to be a DVD stacker in the boot. I have a pre-purhcase inspection scheduled for next week and I've got my fingers crossed that goes well. The dealer has said hey will fix any shortcomings identified by the inspection. All things going well I should have the car 2nd week of October (Has to be delivered from NSW to Melbourne)

Anyway a couple of questions - Chris Rogers is obviously the man with the know how on the electrical/multimedia side of things, so I was wondering Chris, when will you be in Melbourne next? I'm looking at a sat nav install (Garmin GVN53 to factory screen), cruise control and ipod adaptor install. I would normally do the ipod adaptor myself but these cars look particularly complex to remove the dash panels especially for the untrained.

Alternatively can anyone recommend anybody in Melbourne who has experience with these cars for the ipod adaptor and sat nav install?

Thanks in advance. Can't wait to finally own one of these :(

Just out of interest what was the shiftiness and potential dough eating on the '05?

Seller claimed the car was mint, had never been in an accident and had done 20,000kms. The inspection report showed a lot of dodgily repaired panel work and the general wear and tear on the vehicle was much more than you would expect for a vehicle which had supposedly done only 20,000kms, even if servicing had been neglected. The vehicle inspector told me he didn't believe the odometer reading was genuine. I've worked out that this particular seller seems to sell a lot of V35's under different names. You can pick his ads.

Hail "The King". AKA Chris Rogers, he'll probly know someone down here who could do it for you if he doesnt decide to visit. Hence he'll probly read this later on tonight.

He's reading this right now, "Hi chris"

Lol, but seriously he knows everything electricle about this car there is to know (as you said), so as said, he'll know someone down here in melbs.

If ya want the Stock Nav system to work it wont, forget it, guys have been trying to get it working in Aus for literally years. You probly know this already, but if you dont, if you want nav you'll have to go aftermarket, chris rogers does that aswell. For memory its like a flick switch, turnig it into nav mode (I apologize if wrong).

We just need another Chris Vistit to melbs, 2 votes so far.

      He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.

      Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work.

      Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me

      Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.

      Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
