Hi im thinking of buying a 01-03 gt250 v35 or a gt300 v35 but would like opinions and feedback as to the difference in performance and fuel use as they look identical.

Also being an import is maintainence and parts a problem here in aust?

To me they seem like a bargain or is there a reason for it?

Thanks

Hi mate,

Have a read in this tread. (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sk...gt-t337367.html).

I am sure a 250GT will have a lower fuel consumption rate than a 300GT and 350GT.

Anyhow, although being an import, maintainence and parts are not a big problem as they share alot of parts with 350Z. As long as you go to a reputable import shop for maintainence, you should be fine. You just have to keep in mind that GT-8 (8 speed paddle shift) models are abit troublesome. If you break it, it's about $3000-$4500 to fix.

The V35 are a good car to drive. I have a 2004 V35 coupe auto (350GT) and it's a smooth ride. Plus it's a rearer import so it turns heads too. :bunny:

Good luck with your choice.

Thanks for that info!

I ended up changing my mind and buying a nissan murano as ive heared nothing but good things about,picked it up for a song 2006 model for $17500!

Nice.

Well, congrats on your new purchase. I like Nissan Murano too (Prior to 2010), but Mrs liked the new 2010 Nissan Dualis Ti that we test drove. So we bought that one for daily instead.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
