I just checked out your photos after I read your post about 260RS and sent PM

Is that colour a factory colour?

Thought that a V35 in a colour like the ford XR purple would look good.

Like the newstyle blue coupe in your photos too

Cheers

look nice in  this blue.. 2004 model

Heya Jake - from that pic it looks like you're surfin the auctions - cool... any info you can give the rest of us on what the sale YEN on these is going around abouts for the different models? Keen on a fully optioned manual - but got no idea what the auction sales are going for on average... be good to know so we can then do our own driveaway estimates (and also help guessing reasonable caryard prices)... $XX @ auction + shipping + compliance + duties etc etc.

Cheers if you can dig up some auction sales history!?

Adam

Never seen these cars before.  What's the go with them performance and options wise ??

Anyone got some interior pics ?

J

Hiya Jay

HEAPS of pics in my gallery, including interiors, body kits, different rim looks etc... go have a squiz :P

Performance...

took one for a "spin" yesterday... and yeah thats the word for it - big torque from the 3.5... tyre chirps from an auto that I wasnt pushing too hard with the dealer in the passenger seat lol - I liked... and that was with a heavily choked exhaust for emission testing ;) Nice throaty growl to it too. Supposedly do 14 second passes stock. Same engine as the 350Z... in fact the critics calling it a 4-seater 350Z arent too far off the mark I spose - though Ill never admit it :D Plenty of modding fun to be had too... there are heaps of companies doing bolt on supercharger kits, and a couple of aussie mod shops like APS doing twin turbo mods to the engine that are fully ADR approved!

Optional extras.. HEAPS...

Factory aero kit option; 18" wheel package option; Bose sound package option; factory driving lights; sunroof; DVD Sat Nav (lifts motorised from behind centre console like in R34 GTT option); 6 spd manual or 5 MA/T (which I drove and it changes sooo sweetly); manual comes std with Brembos but auto doesnt; leather option; prob loads more

Then theres the aftermarket stuff - which is EXTENSIVE... these have been out for a few years in Japan and they are into a Series 2 already - so loads of goodies available from loads of the normal mod companies! :)

We need to ask the site admins for a specific V35 section once we have a few owners me thinks - coz they are just so different from the RB skylines.

Cheers

Adam

What are these retailing for?

landed and complied ...silver 19k grade4 approx$38k...same for 03 pearl grade 4.5 ....OR

black stagea axsis grade 5 2002 @ about $37k

all auto`s

that my esimated cost anyway.

.couple of 6 speed coupes up tomorrow ..see how much difference that has on price...

also not that many for sale ..that you could buy..ie:2004 6000klm,grade 6 ..near new

Mmmm Axis looks tasty - pity all the RAWS Ive asked arent even thinking about starting the compliance process for them yet ;) You know any different goss Jake?

Thanks for the price info... be good to see if the manual coupes go for any more or less. Gives me a good idea of what to set my budget at through the car yards ... cheers Jake.

And Jay - yeah its surprising but most of the pics I seem to find are of the USA verion called the Infinity G35... but the Jap imports will be right hand drive :)

Here's a few of the many links starting to fill up my "Favourites" folder, for people starting to think about the V35...

how does this sound....

Project G35 Turbo

2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe: Twin Turbo Powered 18psi Infiniti G35 Coupe estimated 550HP!

this site isn't too bad if you want to do the Twin Turbo upgrade

http://www.g35turbo.com/

how does this sound....

Great find - that site is awesome! Has everything!! Even has sound clips of tonnes of exhaust types fitted to the VQ35DE!!!

Aaargh - colour picking is so hard on these cars. Gotta put my colour preferences on my V35 order in a couple of weeks... my leanings at the moment are, in order of preference...

1st Black

2nd Silver

3rd Blue

4th Gunmetal / Metallic Grey

I think Id be happy with any of those 4 colours... the black is first pref at the moment, but I have the blue itching at me a bit that might see it rise up in the order a bit by the time I have to finalise deciding...

hmmm

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
