Hi Guys,

I have just recently bought a new V35 2003 Coupe around a few weeks ago. I have been having some trouble trying to find parts locally for this car. I understand that I should check the G35driver forum and to try liaise with stores on there. I have also searched quite a bit on the US ebay but everytime I seem to find something I like, I get quoted something ridiculous for international shipping. I am in search for a couple of things in which I intend to upgrade in the next couple of weeks. Can you guys please shed some light on where I can find some parts and accessories for my V. Where do you guys buy your parts from?

I am looking at purchasing the below in the next couple of days.

* the double din kit - I have found a few on ebay which are quite expensive for shipping. Can you guys give me a rough estimate on how much you guys have bought yours for?

* cold air intake - looking for an apexi kit, which I can't seem to find.

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no easy or cheap solution to your needs. Most of us purchase our parts either from the US or Japan depending on which is cheaper at the time. Yes shipping can be a bitch but at the end of the day its worth it if you get the exact bolt on part for your car and you know its been tried and tested. Try watching out for Group Buys or people selling parts on this forum.

I believe Chris Rogers on this forum can supply you with the double din kits. He will be able to perform the whole conversion for you too if you are located in QLD.

Thanks mate!

Yeah I did see a previous post about the kit. I will get in contact with Chris once I reach my post count to be able to PM. haahaha. Can anyone provide me with any good websites/suppliers. Also can anyone assist me with locating a CAI. I will definitely look into the group buy section. Thanks mate.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
