Hey guys, my names Nork.

Its been a long time coming and some solid saving but i finally have my second car

Ive just bought my Skyline 350Gt V35 and loving it.... oh yeah and its manual ;)

It came with half leather interior, Brembo's and the optional 7spoke wheels

My first car was a Hyundai Lantra and loved it to bits even tho it was falling into bits. I was devastated when the engine blew up on me on my way back from schoolies :/, then i started my apprenticeship and needed a way of transport so i bought a bike, after a few weeks with that some one stole it, more bad luck, so i ended up getting lifts with my sister or borrow her car for the last 8months, so i could save to buy the car i really wanted.

Sorry for the lack of better pictures but heres my Skyline :)

Hey mate,

Same year as mine, ours are identicle apart from i have black corners and getting diff rims & lowering. Congrats on your excellent buying decision you will not regret it.

Also, first thing i would recommend doing bro is whacking a CF short shift NISMO knob. Make shifting so much better.

Edit: I would also debadge the back, looks much cleaner and gets people guessing what it is.

Double edit: I just noticed you have red P plates, do you live in NSW? I hope not because you can't legally drive the car it's over the KW limit :/

I live in QLD Seano350gt, 4kw of the 210kw limit ;) hahaha yeah changing the gear knob is on the list, the one i have on there now is worn out. Im liking all the attention i get with the car and random people come up to me and ask about the car and what not. I'll think about de-badging it, i doubt many people in Bundaberg would know what my car is haha Ive only ever seen one other one driving around once. My current wheels have bad gutter rash and i was thinking bout painting them that gunmetal colour, hope it turns out looking good hahah

Congrats on the purchase Nork. Guaranteed to get more lovin` now than you did when you were rolling in a hyundai! Probably more haters too but it'll be worth it.

At such a young age you shouldn't be too worried about your knob, as long as it gets you from third to fourth its fine.

Ah from bundy! haha yeah i am betting you'll be one of the only ones with this car. I am one of 3 350GT owners in Mackay, good mates with 1 of them and the other is a random old bloke with infiniti badging that doesn't wave back.

Attention is not always a good thing, be careful with it make sure you keep it safe! I get a few compliments here and there too, but my baby is going to look much much better in the next 7 days :D

They look good plasti dipped matte black, but i don't like how small the stock 18's are which is why i'm getting 20's.

Yesterday actually some young lady parked right next to mine, exactly like mine with brembo's leather, also same colour and everthing except she had a sunroof :/. i was shocked hahah it was so sexy.

Congrats. 6MT is the way to go. And the Brembos are killer stoppers :) Recommend Coilovers if you plan on modding. Have fun.

Love the 6mt hahah, ive gotten used to it now but are all our clutches really heavy?

i painted my wheels yesterday, tell me what you's think, the colour is a charcoal gunmetal metallic with clear coat, imo it looks heaps better, i should have taking a picture of the rim before hand with all bad gutter rash on my spokes, i couldn't stand it hahah

heres a crappy picture of it... dont remind me of my scratch on the bumper, im looking for a lip to cover it up.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
