It does habe that but nismo cluster, also it doesnt illuminate and apparently converted to mechanical rear diff so no cooling fins & hydraulic piping is not present or has been removed?

I would not trust the Nismo Cluster, as it is aftermarket and they all have the A-LSD Light.

Also they are all 320 Km/h Speedos.

Legit R33 GTR V-Spec Clusters would all have 180 Km/h Speedos with the A-LSD Light.

Don't think so, it would just be the Base Model set up.

Why would you bother down grading a V-Spec to a Base model? It would be pointless and a waste of time.

Did the seller tell you it was a V-Spec?

Yeah he did and i checked everything but he said it was converted to mechanical which i can understand as the alsd isnt as responsive as a normal lsd but yeah my hunch was right oh well

Maybe a weight thing to remove it all but like you said why would you bother! Its frustrating when people mod cars and they can lose their identity so the story of why things arent there check out, to be honest i would have eventually gone for at minimum a 1.5 way diff so it still would have lost its original alsd functionality anyway. Atm im currently rebuilding the engine so looks like i lucked out twice! Thats cars though, but i love it!

Ah well, if that's the case and the normal LSD is more responsive then the A-LSD, then it's some what a win for you :)

Also, there is nothing too special / different when comparing a Base Model VS a V-Spec.

Engine / Turbos are the same.

V-Spec's weight more / A less responsive A-LSD

Has firmer (Sportier) Suspension and a lower ground clearance but I assume you would have a set of aftermarket suspension hence making the stock setup irrelevant.

It's just bragging rights and a "V-Spec" sticker on the boot lid :P

True, unless it's a track car to save that every bit of weight, there is no point in removing it.

You rebuilding it or a workshop?

Haha yeah true (bragging rights) it has hks coil overs all round so that takes care of the stiffer suspension. Im building myself, not the machine work but everything else will be from my own hands. After a long 2 days i now have the engine out stripped and head off so over the next couple weeks ill be hunting parts etc and commencing forged rebuild with all oil mods etc if you look up Nissan skyline owners Australia on Facebook you can see pics of progression its a mammoth job lol

That's it.

Cool will have a look and all the best!

Thanks for FASTING 6U900WGNC34135673 for me. Sorry to be a slight pain in the A

But I was wondering if you could list the factory options that it came with too.. thanks again,

Just looks to be your standard Stagea.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
