Hi everyone.

As most of you guys from Queensland know, I am relocating to Brisbane in August 2011. Currently, I own a pearl white 2004 Nissan Skyline V35 350GT coupe with a few modifications that I am bringing over to Brisbane.

I would like to catch up with V-series owners from Queensland and hopefully be a part of QLD V-series community.

So please post up here if you reside in Queensland and own/owned a V-series.

Looking forward to meeting you guys and your V's. :)

Hey mate! Welcome to Queensland. I live in Brisbane and picked up my silver 2003 V35 coupe a couple months ago. Only mods so far are a fujitsubo exhaust and 18" enkei rpf1's. Maybe I'll see you around at one of the JDMST meets!

Welcome to the Sunshine Stateaction-smiley-069.gif! Whereabouts are you going to be residing? We are about half way between Brisbane & the Gold Coast. Always keen for a meet/cruise if the wife will let me take out her 2003 V35.

2002 V35 300GT Sedan driver here :) I am also keen to link up with the community at some point but it is a little difficult for me as I live in Gladstone which is around 6 hours north of Brisbane.

Wow, so many replies! Thanks for all the warm welcome, guys. :)

I had organised few cruises and meet-and-greet's in Perth, WA and would love to see what Queensland has to offer. I will be pretty much busy settling down and with work for 3-4 months. After that, I would love to participate in the events.

So far from a week training in Brisbane in June 2011, I love it.

Looking forward to it.

I live on the Gold Coast and own a Pearl White 2004 V35 aswell. I'd be interested in joining the V-series community aswell as i just got my car a month back.

Hi Sheldon, nice to know you and that you are interested in the V-series community. I can see you have plans for your V35 coupe from your shopping list. Nice one there. thumbsup.gif

Me and my wife went to Movie World Warner Bros. Gold Coast while we were there, and absolutely loved the experience. :)

Hi Hieu. Thanks for the welcome.

I will definitely go to JDMST meets whenever I can. So see you there! :)

Hey Andrew. Thanks for the welcome.

When I arrive this weekends in Brisbane, I will be staying in Wynnum area for 2 weeks. Then, I will be residing in Waterford area and working in Crestmead area. So maybe close to you? :)

When we have meets/cruises, please bring along your wife. My wife, Sarah, always comes with me as my navigator. whistling.gif

Brisbane Southside here...V35 Sedan (VSP07) see you around and welcome to brissie!

Hi mate, thanks.

I've seen your V35 sedan somewhere on here before (I believe it was something like Lake Shore Blue?).

Hopefully see you around.

Hi Joshua, nice to know you.

Who knows? Maybe we can do an overnight cruise one day. :)

One of my work branch is in Gladstone. If I travel for work to there, I will let you know? :)

Vic, Keen to see you mate.

03' V Coupe

Like a Baws!

Cobey, we've kind of met already! (On Facebook. tongue.gif)

Keen to see yours too, mate. Thanks.

'03 350GT coupe

checking in from the styx (1hr north from kolossus)

Hi Nath. How's it going?

Styx? That's like 10 hours from Brisbane! You will definitely need to tow or transport on a truck for QLD's V-series events. :P

Anyway, nice to know you, Nath. How's V-series scene in Styx area?

Haha I'd say liger is in Rockhampton (or at least close to? I have seen a silver 350gt there before) and its only about 6 Hours from Gladstone to Brissy give or take, also who do you work for? And I will definitely be coming down for some cruises (when the girlfriend hopefully isn't in tow so I can man out a bit :P) waiting on an E-mail back about my payment for club membership aswell :S.

as usual, as soon as i get mine, everyone bloody gets one :laugh:

ugh, yeah, a million miles away from the SE area but i'm heading down to brisbane eary next year to get GPS tracking installed ( after a few companies were caught out taking the car for a joyrde)

The theres quite a few coupes up here, some of them act like dickheads tho. a little annoying.

Me and my wife went to Movie World Warner Bros. Gold Coast while we were there, and absolutely loved the experience. :)

All the performance parts aren't plans :) They were all done in the first month of having the car, most of which were before it was even registered and had even been complied. The bodykit is already paid for an is currently on a ship to Aus from the US, looking forward to installing that.

You said yours is the 2004 model aswell, does this means its the 70th Anniversary edition like mine? Full leather / heated seats / Dual Climate control / Front lip / Sun Roof / white indicators / came with 18inch stock wheels / etc.

I actually work for Warner Village as my second job every now and again, worked fulltime there while i was at uni. Its a nice place, get free tickets into all the parks :)

Hey Nath, let us know when you head down to Brisbane early next year.

If the weather is good and there's enough interest, there might be a meet-and-great. :)

im on the gc also, about 10mins from cobey. glad you decided to keep the car!!

We go to JDM meets often and the mountains even more so if your that kind of driver :)

Be good to meet you!

Hi Nate, thanks.

The car will still be for sale though. But I am not in a hurry to sell it now as it's coming to Brisbane anyway. I will see how it goes.

One thing for sure, I am losing alot of money there just to bring it over. But I don't mind. It's worth it. :)

Hey Sheldon, looks like you scored a good bargain with the parts. Your bodykit combination of Chargespeed rear, Impul sides and Kuruma Z front is a popular choice in the States too, so it will look really nice. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see that done to your V35.

Mine is actually a non-premium 2004 model, so doesn't come with what you listed. It's quite ok, as I have plan to retrim the interior to leather if I decide to keep the car. :)

We went to Movie World Warner Bros. on 11th of June. Were you there? :P

Nah, i actually work at Australian Outback Spectacular - the big building next to it. All part of the Warner Villiage Theme Parks though, along with Wet and Wild, Movie World, Sea World and Paradise Country.

Yeah, the bodykit is super popular in the states because it looks hot. Will be rare in Aus though no doubt. Can't wait to have it done. Also getting black headlights with LED's and Halo's. Will also paint my roof black :) to go along with the black 20's im getting next week once im finished Dyno'ing and tuning.

Pretty sure I have the only sedan in Central QLD, could be wrong, we should link up for a cruise to Brisbane for one of the SAU cruises one day, love a good road trip, also I have only seen a silver V35 on the street in Rocky (possibly a church goer? saw it parked near one) and one blue one in briscoe motors for sale.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.

      100% agree. Best bet on an RB will be NEO, but even it will be a long way off. Emissions is one of the big reasons car manufacturers went to DBW and constantly variable cams. When cruising, open the throttle right up, but reduce dynamic compression so low, that it's basically an unrestricted air pump moving very little air.

      I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
