Hi from Australia!

Hi!

Well, I did it: I just purchased a V35! Now it's a 3 month wait to get it over here and complied for use on the road...

The car already has bodykit and suspension, but I'm pretty sure I'll want more power, so a tt kit will probably be on the cards in the near future...

I am really happy to have found this website: you guys have a huge amount of information and experience which I intend to take full advantage of!


Here's some pics of my new toy:

Gold Coast: pretty much Brisbane, but with beaches and less traffic

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I forgot to mention: Mine is a '03 6sp Premium (not sure how that differs from what you guys get), with 83000km on the clock (a little higher than ideal, but you get that).

It will be the latest model car I have owned to date

Yeah, but there's nothing to see except the factory plastic engine cover: The car is completely stock, apart from the rear muffler. I intend to rectify this with a comprehensive program of forced induction goodness!

yeah, a bit limp-wristed, I know... But with the graphics removed and a healthy dose of boost, it will be ok. But I need to keep it mild: I already have a 400awhp car, and I need something more comfortable and sedate as a daily driver. A bit more punch than stock will do the trick: thinking sc, and an interior retrim in leather, and it will be where I want it...
