Hi guys Just checking if anybody have fitted these parking sensors on the V36 - Rear: https://parksafeautomotive.com/product-category/parking-sensors/rear-parking-sensors/ Front: https://parksafeautomotive.com/product-category/parking-sensors/front-parking-sensors/ If so which module (rear / front) and sensor size did you go? Just looking for some feedback Thanks so much! Cheers

Hi guys We currently have a 2008 CKV36 and hoping to upgrade the OEM display to a OEM unit that has high resolution. For reference these are the display unit models that I have found: 2008 - 28091 JK01C - https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detail/Car-Electronics/Multifunction-Monitors/PA55924379/ 2010 - 28091 1NF0A - https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detail/Car-Electronics/Multifunction-Monitors/PA53906714/ 2011 - 28091 CS70E - https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detail/Car-Electronics/Multifunction-Monitors/PA56616894/ 2012 - 28091 CS73A - https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detail/Car-Electronics/Multifunction-Monitors/PA51647921/ 2013 - 28091CS73C - https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detail/Car-Electronics/Multifunction-Monitors/PA59224488/ A few queries I have as follows: Someone mentioned that 2010 onwards display units have higher resolution. Does anyone know if that's correct? Do we know what the display resolution specs of the 2008-2014 models might be? Are all the OEM display units backwards compatible? E.g. can we use the display unit from 2013 or 2011 on our 2008? If the difference in resolution is negligible I would skip the upgrade but was hoping to get it done whilst install the Nifty CarPlay unit: https://www.niftycity.shop/products/nissan-skyline-370gt-2007-2014-apple-carplay-android-auto-integration Thanks so much!

@gillies2001 Is your vehicle the base model (non S/P variants)? Same as mine in that case. Would it be possible to share / PM the part number you had ordered and invoice (if still accessible)? I will then take that info to my local Nissan dealer to see if the same OEM dash pad can still be sourced locally. Was it much hassle / costly to get it fitted? Cheers

@nickcorr Cheers will give that a go. Think I found the same mount locally - https://www.holdmyphone.com.au/angled-mount~52830

@sonicii Ah good idea to try source dash trim part from wreckers. Do you recall roughly how much it was sourced for?

Wondering if this is the OEM to replace the dash (68200: panel & pad assembly, instrument): https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline_coupe/ckv36/7297-vq37vhr/body/680/68200/?frame_no=Ckv36-000000

Hi guys The dash and some interior trim pieces is starting to give away in our V36 2008 370GT coupe. Is it still possible to order spare parts specially for the dash? If so, what's the best way to order the OEM parts in? Otherwise I was thinking of getting a dash mat or custom ordering one: https://www.fitmycar.com/au/nissan-skyline-sedan-v36-2006-2014-dash-mat-shevron/5041 Cheers

Hi guys Keen to see pics of what phone mount you guys use on the V36. I am changing the headunit next month and trying to find a mount similar to these for RHD: Proclip: https://www.proclipusa.com/product/854022-proclip-angled-mount Panavise: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pvp-75130-509 Cheers

Hi guys, is the top layer of the front headlight a replaceable part or do I need to order the entire headlight? Mine's starting to show its age (turning yellow, scratches etc.) so was hoping to replace just that part or get something that blends in with the car a bit better. If possible, what's the part number that I need to order / from where? Thanks

Hi guys Looking to update the existing OEM wheels and tyres for the base model CKV36 2008 Skyline 370GT Coupe. Appreciate if someone could advise on the following: - OEM wheel and tyre: Does the following OEM spec look about right? Front: 18x8 | 5.x114.3 | ET43, D66, 225/50/R18 Rear: 18x8 | 5.x114.3 | ET43, D66, 245/50/R18 - Ray Wheels: Considering to purchase 57XTREME SPEC-D or 57XTREME STD SPEC: Which wheel model / part is most compatible with CKV36 in terms of just bolting on? 57XTREME SPEC-D has a +38 offset but it seems a +22 offset is needed for CKV36? Whereas it's unclear whether 57XTREME STD SPEC +42 offset would be compatible in terms of caliper clearance: What's usual price for a set of these and what would be the best way to source these wheels? Tyres: Currently the vehicle has 245/45/R18 Bridgestone Potenza on both front and rear: What tyre size would fit well with 57XTREME SPEC-D 18x9.5 +22 5-114.3 in terms having an OEM fit / clearance? I think my current tyres would poke out by +21mm. Which tyre brand would be a good upgrade over the stock tyres in terms of handling / performance? Brakes: Currently has DBA disk rotors. What breaks do you guys run with the V36? Thanks in advance! @R377

Just as an example I called up the Infiniti Service Centre Warwick Farm today to book in the car and the feedback (which is similar to what Nissan Brookvale told us as well) was that since it's an imported vehicle they can't use the VIN number to look up which "genuine" parts are needed for the car and hence don't want to go back and forth trialing different parts which is consuming / expensive (they will however service the car if we can source the parts needed first). Is there an official catalog that lists all the parts for the 2008 Skyline 370GT (V36) so the mechanic knows what to order in? Unfortunately I don't have much experience when it comes to car parts so if any such catalog to provide the mechanic or mechanic recommendation in Sydney that would be very much appreciated. Cheers

Hi guys Keen to hear where you guys service or recommend servicing the V36 - I am looking for a mechanic for our imported Nissan skyline. Someone who knows about the V36 and can help sourcing parts if needed. We need to replace the breaks at the moment however, local Nissan mechanics at Brookvale don’t seem to know about imported Nissans and hasn't been much of a help. In past we mostly got it serviced at Infiniti Centre at near city (the guys were really helpful getting parts imported / fitted) however that centre closed a few years back. Thanks!

Hi guys Our Skyline recently got damaged at a BP station (while turning hit a small pole which wasn't visible) which we are hoping to repair back to the original condition. We contacted two smash repairs in Sydney who provided the attached quotes with total being around 10K and 6.5K respectively. Quote 1 company said cash price could be around 8K (excluding the miscellaneous section in the quote, which is separate to the actual damage repairs). These guys did a great job with a previous repair where another car reared into our vehicle. Both companies recommended to replace the applicable parts instead of repairing existing parts however it's a bit unclear to us why there's some price difference between the quotes. It would be much appreciate if anyone could assist with the queries below: - Does the quotes look right for the work that's necessary? - How do we know these are genuine parts (door/QTR panel etc.)? - Is it okay to replace these parts or is repair possible (or better)? As we do not have comprehensive insurance on the vehicle we are just hoping to ensure that we are not being ripped off while ensuring that the quality of the work is top notch (which we are happy to pay for). Any advice / recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Quote1.pdf Quote2.pdf

Thanks! Can't decide between no. 2 and 3!!

Hi guys, trying to decide which plate from below would look the best on a silver Skyline (pics attached): 1. Premium Metallic Silver - Black Character 2. Premium Black - White Character 3. Premium Black - Metallic Silver Character Thanks in advance!
