Sory for posting such newbie question, but guess I'll got to start from base with this car.

I just got my 04 V35 coupe 2 days ago, and was stuck on how to use the triptonic features.

It has (+) and (-) and I am not sure how to use it.

Any advise anyone? thanks

Yup, its my bad, bought wrong sticker.. so just put on (+), and is it just 1 time or I had to go up everytime I want to change to 2nd to 3rd gear like a manual car? Thanks

Each time u push the shifter up or down it goes up or down 1 gear. so if u want to to from 1st to 2nd push + once to go back push - once.

Car looks really nice, imo 19inch inital D white rims on the red :D and lose the stickers Vs are not ment to be super cars like the GTRs more of a show pony/cruser unless ur like cobey and build it to destroy all.

I was down at the TAB this afternoon putting some money on West Coast Vs Carlton and saw that Skyichgo is running at $1.01 to wrap his nice new TRD Skyline around a tree before he is old enough to drink!

Seriously though, does anyone else think that it is crazy for a young kid who cant figure out that + goes up a gear and - goes down a gear can afford a $25,000 car??? What happened to the good ole' days where you scraped together $2000 (if you were lucky!) and bought a piece of crap that had to be bump started every cold morning???

Its nothing personal against Skyichgo, but it scares me to think that there are people driving around in these relatively high powered cars at that age. Then again I'm probably just jealous because I can imagine the amount of "you know what" he will be getting in that car when I generally had the ladies pushing the car down the street so that I could take them home lol.

I just re-read my last post and changed my mind, it is actually something personal against you Skyichgo, take the damn TRD stickers off your car before someone punches you in the face on the street. You do realize that what you have done to that car is the exact reason that every bogan in an SS Ute gives Japanese cars crap?? Your not in Tokyo Drift or Initial D and Brembo is not paying you money to advertise their products so why pretend they are???

^^ I am sticking to my original thought that it must be school holidays, and someone is bored and making up stories about owning a V35.

Well.. too bad.. it's not school holiday nowadays.. and no one make no stories here.. :)

lol...I think that you need a pair of new glasses, or probably stop gambling mate, it ruins your brain that you can't differentiate who is who :).. just piece of advise..

Bought wrong sticker?

Do you know anything about cars? Honestly, you bought an imported car and don't know TRD is for Toyota, and how to change gears in tiptronic mode (which is available in a Commo or Falcon now). Riiiiiight. +1 for troll.

FYI, school holidays begin next week.

Thx mate, just realized that it does shows on the dash screen

With the rims, I was thinking paint the wheels black.. as bigger rims f**k the engine ... thats my own old school opinion anyway, will consider it later.. and also with the stickers, I realized that I bought wrong one, no big deal.. I probably tear it down when I am bored..said in next 2-3 weeks lol,

Honestly , I bought other parts and ask the seller just to give me free door sticker, and apparently I didn't know anything about TRD shit.. so that's -1 for me.. and tiptronic... is also -1 for me, as I said I am newbie.. but that's the reason I am joining this forums to get well-educated by you (all the pros here).

I prefer being stupid about things I didn't know rather being a smartass (but dumb inside) :)

Skyichigo, I have a set of 6 inch wheel barrow wheels that I was actually going to save for when I put 3 superchargers on my engine. I was told by a mate who sat in a car one time that Isami Amemiya uses them on all of his performance engines in Japan and swears that they help protect the engine when you're running 75psi. I will send you some pictures of his Touge Monster V8 RX7, its a tough looking machine but not as tough as his TRD R39 GTR V-Spec 3.

I have changed my mind and will leave the car stock for now but I can slap a few Ferrari Decals on them and do you a deal if you like? They cost me $6000 but I'll let you have them for $5000.

Also, with the stickers that you noticed where the wrong ones but still put on the car anyway, be careful when you take them off because you can completely mess up the handling of the car.

Simple internet/forum search will cover all your questions anyway, so to come on here and ask these questions when they are already covered is kind of redundant anyway.

As for the 'bigger rims f**k the engine' comment, care to elaborate to one of the 'pros' how that works? That one really has me intrigued, for someone who doesn't know how to change a gear in a tiptronic, or what TRD means, you seem to be very knowledgeable on the mechanical side of things.

I know, and that's why I put " it's my own opinion for my own car". I don't said you can't put big one on your loved one , mate. We don't share same chick with same boobies size, right? I might like small one, and you might like big one? :)

You still haven't explained your logic behind that comment. Your opinion is that 'bigger rims f**k the engine', care to elaborate on HOW that occurs?

There is a difference between opinion and fact.

    • Yeah, the latter. No diff should have a centre replaced without checking clearances because its unlikely to be the same as whatever came out. Not that that stops most people just checking a new centre in
    • Major thread necro but how bad of a job is it to DIY? Looking at it online it looks like if you reuse your ring and pinion as long as those are in good condition it should be fine to just pull the axles/front cover and replace the diff that way? Or should I be replacing everything and doing preload measurements/gear mesh testing like the factory service manual mentions for the rear diff?
    • in my list I had the R33 GTR as the best Skyline. Infact I had all GTR's (33>34=32), the NSX, the GTO, the 300ZX, the 180SX, the S15 better than the FD RX7. I had the MR2 and the A80 as 'just' better. I also think the DC5R Integra looks better but this is an 01 onwards car. I also think the FC>FD. It's almost like aesthetics are individual! The elements @GTSBoy likes about the FD and dislikes about the 180 are inverse in my eyes. I hate the rear end of the FD and it's weird tail lights that are bulbous and remind me of early hyundai excels. They are not striking, nor iconic, nor retro cool. The GTO has supercar proportions. I maintain these look much better in person (like the NSX) especially with nice wheels and suspension which is mandatory for all cars pretty much. Some (or all) of these you have to see in person to appreciate. You can't write a car off until you see one in the flesh IMO. Like most people we probably just like/dislike cars which represent certain eras of design or design styles in general. I also think the 60's Jag E type looks HORRIBLE, literally disgusting, and the 2000GT is nothing to write home about. FWIW I don't think the Dodge Viper Gen1's have aged very well either. You can probably see where I rate bubbly coupes like the FD. I know we're straying now but the C4 and C5 absolutely murder the Viper in the looks department as time goes on, for my eyes. Wouldn't surprise me if people who love the FD, also love the MX5, Dodge Viper, Jag E Type, etc etc.
    • I used to hate R31s, and any of the other Nissans that led up to it, and any of the Toyotas with similar styling, because of the boxiness. They were, and remain, childish, simplistic, and generally awful. I appreciate R31s a lot more now, but only the JDM 2 door. The ADM 4 door (and any other 4 door, even if they are unique compared to our local one) can eat a bowl of dicks. The Aussie R31 is also forever tarnished by their association with stereotypical bong clutching Aussie R31 owners of the 90s and early 2000s. I think the Nissans of the 70s (other than 120Y/180B/200B) are far superior looking to the 80s cars. The 240K era Skylines are boss. The same is broadly true of Toyotas. Hondas don't ever register in my thinking, from any era. Mitsus are all horrid shitboxen in any era, and so also don't register. Subarus are always awful, ditto. Daihatsus and Suzukis also don't generally register. They are all invisible. I think the SW20 MR2 looks fiddly. The 3000GT/GTO is like that but way worse. Too many silly plastic barnacles and fiddly gimmicks ruined what could have been a really nice base shape. Kinda-sorta looks like a big heavy ST165 Celica coupe (and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing). I think the 180SX is dreadfully bland. It's not bad looking. But it has no excitement to it at all. It's just a liftback coupe thing with no interest in its lines, and bad graphical elements (ie wide expanses of taillight plastic on the rear garnish). The S13 Silvia is a little better - getting closer to R32 shapes. But still....bland. S14? Nope. Don't love it. S15...a little better. Probably a lot better, actually. Benefits from not being like a shrunk in the wash R34 (where the S13 was a shrunk in the wash R32 and the S14 looked like a Pulsar or something else from the stable on Nissan mid 90s horrors). The Z32 was hot as f**k when it came out but hasn't aged as well as the A80. Keep in mind that I think the R33 is the most disgusting looking thing - and out of all the previous cars mentioned is objectively closest to my precious R32. It's just....real bad, almost everywhere you look. And that is down to the majority of what was designed in the 90s being shit. All Nissans from that era look like shit. Most other brands ditto. In that context, the FD absolutely stands out as being by far the best looking car, for reasons already discussed. Going behind the aesthetics, the suspension alone makes it better than almost any other car.
