Hey guys new to skylines but not new to nissans (datsuns) picked up a 2001 V35 300GT sedan today just have a couple of questions.

What is this button? its under the steering wheel?

What does this mean? is it a service reminder?

there is RCA cords coming out of a side trim in the boot.. on the RHS up the top.

it comes out as RCA then is converted from RCA to a 3.5mm jack. Any ideas?

Also where can i get replacements for these gas struts?

And fuel door bumpers? mine are no good.

Also from the drivers seat is the door lock button on the arm rest meant to lock every door except your own?

My key unlocks the car but wont lock it? maybe i just need a new battery for it.

ALSO what spec batteries are people using in their skylines? the one in it is no good.

Sorry for all the questions hope they can be answered cheers.

button under the steering wheel is to turn on/off the auto 'tilt down' feature of the side mirrors when selecting reverse.

ETC is Electronic Toll Card reader, which is for Japan's toll roads, useless in Aust. No idea what the message is though.

Not sure what the audio cable in the boot is for..

If your lucky, the struts may be a standard size, which means you might be able to get replacements from supercheap/autobarn/etc. Cant' say for sure though, I haven't looked for them before.

Can't help with the fuel door bumpers, they are probably a standard shape item, so maybe see if there is something aftermarket, or for another model Nissan vehicle.

Not sure on the lock button, probably doesn't lock the drivers door. Haven't tested it on my V35, but that is how my old J30 Maxima worked..

You could have a faulty remote if it isn't locking the doors.

I think the Century NS60LS is the correct battery - or an equivalent in other brand.

Message will be hat the ETC card isn't inserted into the reader, for obvious reasons.

Jack will just be for audio equipment into the aux system. That ay you should be able to plug a iPhone in and play musics.

There are strut regas services or buy new.

The fuel flap rubbers actually have a part number. Search the stages thread, it's in there somewhere. Or use epc data.

Yes, I've replaced remote batteries, you should do the same

Biggest batty you can fit in the right configuration is the answer!

I would recommend any decent AGM (Absorption Glass Mat) battery as the last thing you need is a bad leaking battery given where the battery is located in these vehicles. It's not the friendliest arrangement.

For that reason, I have an Optima yellow top 35 in mine. If you go for that one, make sure you get the cap/cover that it should be supplied with as that clips on the base of the battery to give it the extra height you'll need to ensure the clamp actually does hold the battery down tight.

Couple more questions..

This is a bit intermittent, sometime everything works fine but sometimes the radio will reset and it will happen every few seconds, radio resets, air con light flash. if i turn the car to acc the air con lights will flash and i cant use the radio.

When this is happening if the radio is on and i try and use the controls on the steering wheel the radio turns off and turns back on..

Im thinking an earthing problem.. just wondering where the earthing points are and if theres a special earth for the radio that i should check.

Any info will be appreciated!

heres some pics of the car, very happy with it (apart from the small dramas)

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
