Hi,

Just wondering what parts these two cars share.

The engines would share some I expect but what about the parts that wear out? like brake rotors, pads, suspension bushes, links etc.

When I brought my R32 GTS4 into Oz in '99 if you wanted new pads there were very few options, e.g. get your old backing plates relined. It luckily shared alot of parts with the GTR so you could atleast go to Nissan and get things - and cry at the prices.

any knowledge out there?... because the V35 looks like a reasonable 'family' car with some decent performance that won't attract the wrong attention - I just want to be able to get parts here without having to order everything from Japan and all the dramas with wrong parts that that entails.

There are soooooo many people out there sending 'consumable' parts from Japan (like brake pads) to Australia now, the hard part is choosing who to deal with. And the prices are reasonable too... just do your homework first and you shouldn't get ripped off. It's been like this for years now, I'm suprised you had difficulty getting part for a Skyline of all cars :rofl:

To answer your original question, the V35 and Z33 share alot of parts, but this shouldn't worry you because you can get practically anything out of Japan for a reasonable price without having to go through certified ripoff merchants Nissan Aust. who mark up all spare parts 110%.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
