G'day guys. I've been stalking these forums for the past fortnight reading all of the posts on the V35, so I am very new

I've got my eyes on a V35 skyline, imported from Japan and being sold by one of the local import dealers.

I haven't had a look at the car just as yet, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if that is the stock HU?

If it isn't, will i need to buy a fascia to put a double DIN in?

I'm not too sure if I can post the link to the car here but it is. Please don't bite my head off if links arent allowed!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks guys

28000 k's ??? hhmmm GL

and to answer you question, that is already an a/m stereo fitted using a double din fascia and seeing there is no dual aircon im guessing the car is a Non-premium as well.

Edited by AsM

Does the "GL" refer to the 28000km being BS? and potentially wound back?

Yup its the non premium one, i believe its advertised as the SPORT model.

Pretty much... ask them for the vin number and list it here, there are a few ppl on sau that might be able to confirm the kms

Okay I've just got off the phone with him and am having a look this weekend.

So i should record the following

1. Deregistration papers

2. VIN number

Any other recommendations..
Also, what are the dereg papers? And what if he can't produce them?

Thanks again everyone.

No way in hell is that the genuine KM's.. sorry but it just doesn't happen. If it were true, they'd be asking $25,000..

it could be genuine. You need to look at other things too - such as wear and tear of interior, rust underbody, lipped rotors, service records from Japan?, dereg certificate...

I recently sold my 33000 km genuine km PREMIUM coupe for 16 500. No way in hell would anyone buy a low km v35 coupe for $25 000 these days, the market for sellers is just shit.

I had to wait around 1 year to sell it, first genuine buyer who came around bought it, he even did a "stateroads" check (which is similar to RACV Check but more thorough) and the bloke said the car is like brand new condition..

Wow..

Thanks for the response guys. I'll ask for the original log books when I get there. Hopefully it all goes well.

Another concern is the resale. Hopefully if I want a new one, I don't have to wait a year to sell it.

I called the skyline specialist over in Rydalmere and he recommended I get the MTA to do a pre-purchase inspection. $255 well spent I believe.

I'm hoping I've got some bargaining power with paying cash... Maybe he'll throw in installing a 3 point immobiliser which I need thanks to Justcar.

I thought the immobiliser was a compliance requirement?

Yes, but they only need to have a 1 point immobiliser, whereas australian standard is 3. and justcar require a 3 point or they are not insuring me.

I've had a look at the 350z's and they are older yet still more expensive than the V35 skyline - i guess they have a better resale value

hmm.. I was under the impression the compliance required an 'australian standard' immobiliser to be fitted?? I could be wrong though, as they do have a factory immobliser which isn't good enough for compliance.

Thats what I thought. Previous threads on here say its just the insurer being a sook. Shannons insurance doesn't care cause it has compliance. Justcar wants a 3 point. And I'm stuck with them until I turn 25 too

Fair enough.. you are probably right, justcar is being difficult. mine is insured with NRMA and they make no mention in any of their PDS about requiring an additional immobilier.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
