Imports are like a box of chocolates...you never know what you gonna get! smile.gif

12/04 V35 350GT sedan premium pack, Series 2 ,5AT (technically classed as an 05 in the US based on the specs)
Color: Lakeshore Blue
Landed in Australia Feb 08, first owner with 31,000kms and auction grade 4.5

Options I got:

Bose 7 speaker CD/MD system
Intelligent Key/Keyless Ignition + autowatch alarm/immobiliser
TV/DVD/Sat Nav Option
Updated interior (aluminium gear surround with leather boot, different dash layout to the 01/02 models)
Auto headlights
Factory xenons
Reverse Cam
Phone and Vol controls on steering wheel
Factory 17s
4 way electric seats

Plans:

Wheels (goes without saying tongue.gif )
Factory add on front bar lip
Chris Rogers DVD/MP3 conversion special
M3 type boot lip
Exhaust

Can't be any happier! The 5sp tiptronic is no where close to the 4spd on the 34...almost seamless and actually sounds like a manual during gear changes! I steered away from the CVT8 for obvious reasons and don't regret it a bit now after having test driven both.

I could spend the whole night in the car jst trying to work out all the options on the TV and trying to find anymore surprises

My TV actually picks up really good audio from free to air channels but no pics obviously...is this normal? I would have thought they would not pick up anything at all.

Anyways...below are some pics that were sent to me by the dealer before I took possesion. Will post more once I give it a good clean! The third pic is the same color, model but with the front lip which I will get in the near future...

Anyone have a translation of all the options in the and settings for the screen?

Got it fr Nagoya Motors down in NSW..I didn't really import it specifically, they already bought it and advertised it few weeks before it was due to land and I just expressed interest..and here it is now sitting in my garage smile.gif

If you decide to sell I have a nice set of black SSR professors which would suit ur S15 that we could do some sort of swap + cash my way smile.gif Are yours the 18s or 19s?

Did u get to keep the xenons after compliance ?

not sure if my 03 coupe came with one, as even if they (raws) would have removed mine, can't blame the raws as that's what they're suppose to do but it's a b*tch to reconvert it back.

nice looking sedan

in NSW, an import like this will most likely to get inspected by the RTA again, and if they see ur xenons, ur compliance's workshop will be in trouble, and u wont pass the inspection...

awesome looking car - i love it

i really like the series 2 sedan - the front looks like the coupe front more, and the interior is great.

does yours have leather or cloth?

i would also love to know how much it cost you, feel free to PM me if you're wiling to share that information privately but i understand if you don't wnat to.
reason i ask is that my girlfriend will be needing a car by the end of the year... has to be a sedan, safe, powerful, look good
to me, the series 2 V35 sedan
