G35 In Vic Park!

Yep see Anthony at Autowholesale he'll sort you out for your CPV35 needs... Ive driven the red one - VERY NICE... but its auto Good thing with these different to the R34 situation is they are going for pretty much the same at auction whether auto or manual.

If you wanna import yourself - then a basic povo spec CPV35 (coupe), 2003 with higher kms (around 30 - 40,000kms) will set you back around 2 million yen if you can wait for the right price... which landed and complied and in your driveway is around $39,000 !! Not bad considering how much 350Zs still go for and you get the extra 2 kiddy seats The "Premium pack" which has BOSE stereo system and usually convertable Sat Nav / DVD and half-leather trim will cost you another few hundred thousand yen (still high kms), right through to a 2005 with 5,000kms or so where you're looking around $52,000 landed or more. But yeah that should at least give you a guide to a reasonable yard price... first lot will probably be stickered at $48k + ... but depending on kms and specification a few thou either side of that would be reasonable Id reckon... but hey - thats just my thinking based on auction prices and "landed quotes" from brokers. In my opinion the extra several thousand yard price for a warranty, after sales support, and BEFORE sales fixing of any surprises is well worth the difference.

Last time I asked, Autowholesale also said they'd be happy to find the right car for serious buyers with a deposit down - so ask where that is at the moment (not really brokering - still pay yard price with warranty and after-sales support etc - but at least get colour and specification level you're happy with).

And just so you know just about everything underbody is interchangeable with 350Z stuff - so you can grab an HKS 350Z exhaust or some coilovers etc and pretty much bolt it right on

Interestingly the blue one at Downunder in Leederville is gone - in fact the whole YARD IS GONE! Anyone know if they moved or closed shop??

For anyone thinking 4 door - the model you want to look for is the top of the line V35 350GT-8... 8 speed tiptronic (yes EIGHT speed - world first) VERY TIGHT RATIOS and rapid low end shift changes and PADDLE shift not button shift - same box in the new GTR i read - sposed to be very quick off the mark with the 8 speed and still with the 3.5 litre - pity bout the extra weight of the 4 door though. But these are about 75% the cost of the CPV35 at auction on average - so a nice alternate option with someone with only $34,000 or so to spend.

They fitted a set of 350Z Track wheels to the V35 4 Door.

ROFL yer the 4 door does sorta suck ass. 2 door looks good but its not really a skyline, more like a 350Z that was dropped a bit when it was a baby.

down under auto has moved to malaga or wangala..not so sure, but if yo go to the website, they have address on it.

the red 35 was driven half years ago on alb hwy, i saw it all the time with dealer number plate on, he should be enjoy that thing very well...

there is one from PMS with 8 speed auto calle GT-8 and it cost under 30k to land with compaliance and ready to rego... a blue one was for sale at 25,990...

they are not that expensive, unless the V35 skyline 2 door. and it looks better than 350Z and perform better...

Do the sums on the V35, search the forums about some of the stock offered in Japan and make sure they can comply the car first as some emission tests are yet to be sourced.

Just because it is offered for sale or you are told the car can be imported it dosent mean you will get it on the road 2 weeks after arriving at the workshop.

Even better let them use it as a test car..............

One sold and another 6 coming.

Nice!

I will have to pop down to see where you work Nigel!

Maybe you can take me for a drive in one of your GT-R V-SPEC.

I was going by the name in america. Which ofcourse is G35. I am never wrong so you must get use to it.

If you go by the name in America, then you'd be referring to a lefthand drive example... not the case 'ere then, innit? I know you don't probably approve of it, but it's probably best to call it a... oh my gawd... a 'Skyline'...
