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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
