As a matter of interest I did a quick search but couldn't see a post explaining what work is actually done to comply the V35 (Coupe in particular). Is there a list somewhere of the work that needs to be performed or can anyone provide the details? Would just like to know what work / parts are involved.

When the compliance is done, they give you a list of things done and corressponding part numbers. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me, but its just basic stuff.

Fluids, pads, side mirrors, fitting of an immobiliser. Thats about it.

wiper blades i think!

shame about the HIDs ... that's my pet hate on compliance. snipping off something so beautiful.

xscapade, can you elaborate on the mirrors? that would explain why my side view mirrors are so crappy in optical reflective performance if it has been changed.

The xenons are removed because its an aus ADR that all Xenon fitted cars have washers to clean the headlights.

It is illegal to have them, but there are people driving around with them so imagine you can have the car delivered to your place, take the Xenons out and build a bypass to run normal globes. Once you have it complied you return it back. Just what i've heard :D

Well said Bobby.

Yes what I heard too. :D But I can tell you that with conversion to halos, the usable light and spread is terrible. I'd actually go so far as to say dangerously inadequate. More dangerous than say light scatter from dirty headlights with HID bulbs. From what I have seen on the OEM assembly, the cutoff is very good. Not glaring at all. They are well designed assembly even with the lenses high up.

What they should be looking at is HID conversions on halogen reflector headlights ... now that's glary and dangerous.

Edited for grammar.

Yep, i still have the 2006 model OEM HIDs in mine. I love them, but they are not as good as the EVO8 MR ones I had on my previous car.

Re: the mirrors. They change them from concave/convex to an ordinary flat one. the driver's side at least anyway. the result is a less distorted but smaller field of vision.

This might be a dumb question but...

Are all complianced cars supposed to come with an Aussie-standard immobiliser? In actually fact, does someone really find the time to install them or do importers find a way to bypass this?

Thus, what are the chances of a V35 not coming with an Aussie-standard immobiliser, and, since all imported cars are supposed to be aussie-standard immobiliser equipped, are they all automatically theft insurance ready?

I am in the same boat!! I still use the factory immobiliser on mine, and when I was looking for a V35 I would see aftermarket immobilisers that botched up the boot-release button... so I was put off from getting an aussie-standard one..

Can someone please clarify if these are still theft insurance approved?

The compliance workshop fits the immobiliser. It is a requirement for all cars that are built after a certain year (2000?).

Mine was a proximity thing with a dongle on the keyring. I had to get Chris Rogers to rip it out and install a full alarm because it was conflicting with the factory nissan gear, and i couldnt start the car sometimes.

I'm the 2nd owner of my car since it was imported; when purchased, there was no evidence to suggest that an Australian standard immobiliser has been installed. No dangling proximity thingy, nothing. Either it was professionally integrated into the carkey or it wasn't installed somehow.

So had it been stolen at that point in time, would insurance pay up?

PS. I've since installed an aftermarket Australian immobilisation system.

When i bought my V35 from the dealer, no Australian standard immobiliser fitted and factory HID still fitted to the car.

Also no FM expander, no new tyres, no new wiper blades and factory mirrors too.

But have two child restraint bolts on the parcel shelf.

It's a pretty easy issue to rectify: just buy the best Aussie standard alarm/immobiliser you can afford! Any compliance workshop will use the cheapest, nastiest one they legally can (or sometimes none at all, I gather from reading this thread). Take the proximity dongle one for example: it interferes with the factory system.

Anyone who is going to spend the entry price for a car like this (or any decent car for that matter) should also make sure that it's as protected as possible, or be prepared to suffer the consequences (stolen car/no insurance).

Really, guys; you can get some pretty decent gear for a modest outlay: just get a good security system fitted, and then you won't need to worry about it...

I know my car does not have one fitted, and im pretty sure the standard one is not working either as when i lock the car with FOB and unlock with just the key i can start the car and no alarm comes on.

I have a Mongoose MAP80G ready to put on, how can i confirm the stock imobilizer/alarm is not going in interfere b4 i go ahead and install it.?

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
