OK i know what your saying about impressions...i often find the new merc or alfa a bit confronting to look at ( first impression) but after a while i start to appreciate the Italian style of these and others audi etc..The v 35 coupe /350z has the italian curves and looks sexy for it .the sedan has the italian front ..nice curves and then this Russian style rear end..dead set fugly...just like the 350z would look if you jammed 2 more doors and a massive boot into it.,the style of sedan i just don`t get and never will...i have seen them in the flesh and they remind me of dogs breakfast

commercially i`d have to agree with nissan australia .i don`t think they sell any great numbers here and will sell even less as a grey import regardless of price ...the maxima comes with factory wty,dealer network,no finance/insurance dramas

i have looked a this model pretty hard evo-lee ..done enough research i think and i`ve put my money on the coupe..and will be added to my raws schedule in the not to distant future

the sedan will have to get more than facelift or bumlift before i bother with it

this may not be a" in depth opinion" by the way....never drove or seen a 260rs before i bought 1(its fantastic )or v35 coupe(we`ll see) i just put my money where my mouth is and find out for myself

I find alot of guys place judgement on cars they've never seen in the flesh or driven...but somehow they can give such a great indepth opinion.
Aha! We were having this very conversation last weekend weren't we Troy?

Seriously, if you see some of the V35 Sedans modded by Own (Nissan in-house customising arm) or even IMPUL (with their 2 circular plastic tail light covers to mimic Skylines of old) in the flesh and every other day, the shape does grow on you and it actually looks quite tough (compared with alot of other limp wristed efforts going around Japan)... even from the rear!

if you throw enough money..ie bodykits ,wheels etc at commodore`s they can look pretty tough too...but yuk.....most jap cars can look fat with the right mods ..ive seen pics of 35 sedans with gt wings and kits and they look great

....the point being made i guess is that if you change its appearance enough...

...it looks great...

i think there is enough cool sedans chaser/r34 or stagea wagon that don`t need a complete makeover before you would let anyone see it...that sedan needs some serious plastic surgery before i`d take it out in the daylight

but then its just a matter of taste

I just tried set in one 4 door in Bribane few weeks ago and I did not liked.Inside is not too bad but outside is looks like Nissan Maxima /too me /.

2 door 35 should be allready on boat and should be in Brisbane on 13 april.It is a first import to Australia.

to 666DAN; if you are interested to get one 4 or 2 door 35 Skyline send me a PM .

They are know as a Mini Maxima but the 350 GT-8 is the one to get if you want a 4 Door as it has every option and the 3.5 Litre Motor.

We have had a Red and Silver 2 Door and Gold 4 Door here in Perth for a while and the 4 Doors grow on you, the V35 2 Door with this kit below is the go.

I've been given an estimated price for a 350 coupe of around $55k

As much as I want one I cannot justify that sort of price when you look around at what you can get for that sort of money.

'04 350Z with $10k change(or supercharged) and Nissan warranty

New STI almost

New Mazda 6 MPS 4WDT

Used RX8

New Maxima + Almost New Pulsar

New Monaro

Used HSV Monaro

The list could go on.

I considered myself a Skyline nut (owned 1965 GTB,240KGT,C211,R30,31,33,&34)

If I don't think they are worth that for say an '03 model (and can afford that price range) what will the average guy think when looking at one.

I don't see many sales until prices come back a fair way.

Much as I'd like a coupe I'm not prepared to pay that sort of money and live with possible parts and insurance hassles just to be different.

It's the headlights I hate the most personally.

Granted seeing a car in the flesh is much different, but if you don't like the look of something that's a personal choice, and for many people seeing it in the flesh won't change that because it's something fundamental that they don't like about it. Chrysler Crossfire I think is ugly as, for instance, and I thought this when I'd only seen it on TV and then I saw a couple in the flesh and it just confirmed my original opinion.

V35 looks average to me...this is only a problem because I'd prefer it to look somewhat better than average.

Yeah I totally agree, 55k is too rich for a stock, butt-ugly used N/A ;)

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
