i've taken mine off my R32 when you unscrew it its held in by 2 wires. these are for hte overdrive the overdrive system works that when the 2 wires are not commected, overdrive is ON. when the 2 wires are connected, the overdrive in OFF so just cut the 2 wires and remove the knob easy as that the hard pars it getting an aftermarket knob to fit properly. when you fit an aftermarket knob just connect the 2 wires you cut to a switch somewhere that you can use to activate the overdrive

linkorban...

it should have a facgtory immobiliser and alarm in it.. it might not make a sound when you press the button though try pressing and holding the "lock" button (it might be 10sec or 30sec) and it should sound the horn when you arm the car.. i have not donethis myself as i don't like our horn but according to g35driver.com it should work

move out of home..

i want to hear your exhaust anyway!

yeah mate, send me a PM and we can try it out sometime..

damn.. is the moral of the story that the standard airbox is good as it is? have you tried an ECU re-set? does it use the standard nissan consult plug the same as the R32/33/34? if so i have the right cord and nissan datascan..

it actually only does it when the buckle is facing the outside, it doesn't do it when the buckle is facing inside.. but very annoying

hmm i have a rattle but its the passenger seatbelt buckle that is hitting on the door as i drive..

hi rianto, yet to fit mine for hte V35 but wanted to know if they can be changed with the current pads, or do pads have to be changed at the same time?

where did you get your car from?

what's with the HUGE air vent in the middle of the dash? otherwise the car is looking schmick! i have to disagree with the above - i think the headlights are very much like hte Z33 and the new V36 in how thye go up the guards rather than the R-series cars whre the lights were strictly at the front of the car only the wheels are great too in the last picture, the door handle looks like it might come with an intelligent key like the V35/V36 skylines, as the key hold eosn't seem to allow for turning of a key and might be a "just in case" system. let's hope so anyway. paddle shifters are also quite visible too - love it!

yeah but we're spoiled by the fact that so many parts for the R32/33/34, S13/14/15 etc. are so cheap locally due to the cheap prices of such cars. in the case of newer cars, its rediculous to think that any parts importer will stock parts for an expensive imported car. at least if it was locally delivered you KNOW that nissan will have parts in stock and you won't have to wait. since i bought my V35 i have not found one parts stockist with a half-cut. the only parts we can get are either from shared cars (maxima/350z etc) or by asking your nissan dealer politely for the to look in japan, and then having one of your kidneys removed to pay for it my experience with workshops if very hit-or-miss. they will need years of training in the new GTR to have the kind of knowledge they would need. remember that hte rb26 has been out since 1989 so its not like they can pick up a new GTR and start bolting stuff on and know its going to work as well as it does with the rb26 which is tried and tested. yeah but try to get an import insured by any of the big companies like RACV, AAMI, etc. i know i;ve never had luck with my R32 except with shannons or justcar. i haven't read the R32 FSM, and i agree that we might get "toned down" explanations of everything, but its better than local autoelectricians having to work stuff out with japanese characters and no idea of the schematics. even comparing the V35 and the G35 much of the factory options are different, and as such much of the wiring is different. agreed that most of hte mechanical stuff will be identical and that the $$$ in the US will make them the bigest source of R&D outside of japan.. lets hope the GTR goes there too.. as above

you make some good paints Shan, but you didn't take into consieration the main point i was making, being that it will provide the opportunity for the australiam media / publicto realyl appreciate nissan and the new GTR, as currently nissan is still seen as the company that makes the pulsar and the maxima. no one locally takes them seriously with regards to performance cars (except for us - the performance enthusiasts)

my 2c: i think the shape of the new GTR will lift prices of hte Z33 and V35 as people being to see adn appreciate more of the new nissan shape the popularity of the R34 will continue to increase but in the 16-25yo bracket and this will ensure that the R34 drops in price just like the R32/R33 has. after all, that's who the car appeals to. but i agree that the new GTR won't affect the R34 much, if at all, as its a different market the new nissan shapes such as the new GTR are going for a completely different market - ie the porsche, BMW M, AMG etc.

there's heaps of info about these on the g35driver forums.. from my understanding there are a few issues 1) V35's don't have satellite radio so that input isn't there 2) much of the electrics inthe dash are different between V35 and G35, including plugs and wiring given that we have the TV tuner which has an aux input, you can do this yourself with the same amount of hassle, have a read of the DIY aux input thread,its basically the same thing and is selectible by the TV button on the dash. the reason that this kind of thing has been developed for hte G35 is that they don't have an easy aux input such as we have on the V35 i'm sure chris rogers will throw his knowledge in here but i'm pretty sure thiskind of thing is just as easily done with the TV tuner aux in

it seems to be that the issue of locally sold vs not locaaly sold could be a topic of discussion someone already pointed out the advantages of it not being sold locally with regards to price, but i personally would rather it sold locally. my main thought is that i think the GTR deserves all the glory that it will bring, and we need it to be sold locally so that the australian car industry can see what real japanese technology and performance is. such media attention will not occur if its not locally sold, think of how the s15 is viewed locally versus the s13. i believe that such local hype will realy put ford and holden in their place. as it stands, i believe that no one outside performance enthusiast crowds understands fully the R-series GTR and how good it really is. i remember having to explain to my dad about the GTR when i was looking for my first skyline and he couldn't understand initially why a GTR would fetch such a higher price over the GTST. even when i explain the 4wd and TT issue, it doesn't really enable one to appreciate the GTR. in terms of the 2008 GTR, i wouls rahter pay 15k more for something that everyone recognises as a supercar as it add to the streat credability, social status, etc. and there's the obvious benefits of locally delivered such as - better availability to parts - better servicing and maintencance options - better insurance premiums - better understanding of the car in terms of electrics etc. which would have to be all in english if it was locally delivered, plus all nissan dealerships would have to know the car inside-out - more local aftermarket options if many companies get in on it rather than just jap-specialists (such as if it was an import) let the discussion begin..

good price, especially if he's coming to you!

nice! you must hate having money in your pocket...

in my experience (got all 4 done on my R32), from what i have ben told by the guy who did mine, the paint should never crack if someone good is doing it if you are FLARING the guards then its another story, but simply rolling should be fine if the paint is heated and a good technique is used..

ha ha gold! i would only say that it is NEVER ok to kick another man in the balls, contrary to the above, but otherwise 100% gold!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-350z...1QQcmdZViewItem the above one is an OEM mirror for sale on eBay in case anyone is interested...

just run a catch can where the above pipe is run one hose from that outlet to a catchcan then run the second hose form the catch can back into the inlet before the entry of the turbo (where the stock pipe runs)

where are the dyno graphs? doesn't mean much without them..
