I have a set of the original 18" alloys in my garage which I was planning to ebay soon. They have the original Bridgestone Potenzas on as well but have done some mileage. PM me if your interested in them.

On another note, my OEM rear spoiler is on ebay if anyone wants one without the hassle of ordering one from Japan or the USA.
Its blue BTW!

Hi Im Bru,
its worth checking out your road tax,I think all skyline owners pay the same £185 for a year,irregardless of the C02 emissions.
Worth asking the question to all the other other uk 350 gt members,if you are paying more than £185 a year for road tax,please post

 

Direct from the DVLA website.

So, if you have an older model Skyline then you see what bracket you are in and if you have a newer model skyline you pay a fortune if your car was registered in the UK on or after 23/03/06 which mines was as it was only reg'd last December. So if you got yourV35 say in 2005 then you would be paying less.
All of the V35's that i've seen up here in Scotland all have £220 for 6 and £400 for a year.

BUT!!!! I've jsut realised something. I am begining to wonder if the garage put the emissions through as a Z33 becuase you can check your car and the Z33 is the closest size wise.
But they do say this.

 

hi guys. I have just done my tax and it was £400. having said that I have just checked my log book and they have the car down as a GTR. i will have to get that changed but it sounds like a lot fo you are paying the same as me. I will see if I can get a reduction and let you know what happens.

 

just had a call from the garage and the car is ready to collect, i was getting withdrawal symtoms. a big thanks to tom (ukgt) for the gearbox it works fine, i will do less track days now LOL

 

Hi all. Just joined the forum, V35 owner in South Wales, owned my car since June 08 and have just got stung for £400 tax as well! -Car registered in July 06 bummer- has to be registered before March 06.

Didn't see any of you at Llandow Skyline meet Saturday 25th!

 

No worries mov im glad it went to a fellow member,

you probably have the the best 5 AT box in the UK now as it has the upgraded torque converter and it also has a valve body upgrade so will withstand up to 450+ bhp. With the valve body upgrade you will notice the crisper changes through the gears up and down.
AS i told you the work was all done in texas by SGP racing here is the link http://sgpracing-store.stores.yahoo....raupvabof.html

Good news for me, TDI's put my engine which came in my new car with only
30k on the clock onto ebay and it has already met the £1000 reserve with another week to go so fingers cross i get a few people in a bidding war here it is

Welcome Gary,

I was coming to the track day and was going to stay with the rest of the skyline owners club lads in a hotel on Friday night but one of my new fuel pumps siezed up on the way and i had to get my car lifted and taken to Thurrock to be repaired. Luckily APS are going to send a new one free.
I think i damaged it the week before on the track at Snetterton as when i was on the long sweeping bends the swirl pot emptied and i was getting fuel starvation until i got on the straights and it picked up again. I reckon the pumps running dry under full welly is what buggered them up

Anyhow have you got any plans for your car ???

 

PM'd

 

Couple of things....
Normal day to day useage - with a heavy right foot - how much oil do people find their 350's go though?

And I'm looking at some early xmas pressies for the love of my life, just thought I would ask peoples opinions and suggestions

Sorry to hear of your problems mate, would have been nice to see your car and have a chat. Spent loads on mine allready, will try and get some pics.
Anyone know how much and how to remove speed limiter, pref. someone in the South West?

 

i paid £200 for mine in donnington (ncs systems) but it interferes with the rev counter now and again, or TDI (Torque development industries) thurrock, near the dartford crossing

 

Hi folks,
just got my skyline 350gt and I love it, its a 2003 plate in blue.
Quick question, what wheel nuts can I use on the standard 18" 7 spoke wheels,
cheers

Is anybody coming to the Ace Cafe meeting on saturday December 13th. There will be a few 350gt's so it would be nice to have some more. Should be a very good turn out with loads of *** cars.
