Just got the mag from japan, so thought I'd take some quick pics of it as teasers... I'll scan up a proper high res version of it soon:

The ads are clearly marketed at guys in the late 20's and early 30's as a sophisticated car.

Waiting Here unitl 2010 for import, What a F**K.

I thought NISSAN AUS is going to start the INFINITY brand here in 2008 or something with the new skyline/INFINITY.....read somewhere on MOTOR or wheels a while back........

dayam is it jsut me or are the v model skylines lookin more and more like maximas?

not sayin it's bad nice shape n everything

or has the new v models taken over the maximas?

I agree I always feel v35 and maxima looks similar....I also can't really tell the diff between the V35 and V36...

I think they look ugly now..too bulked up

In Wheels magazine they said so far no plans for the V36 unless Nissan launch's the infinty brand in which case it will come from USA and be the G35 apparently some slight spec. differences. But so far no confirmation that they will launch the inifinity brand. Same article said 2008 the GTR will hit our shores.

  • 4 weeks later...

Slightly off topic... looking at the timing between the release of V36 sedan and the much anticipated GTR Proto, I suspect that there will be no more V36 Coupe. The V36 based coupe would probably be replaced by GTR proto altogether with probably the milder "GTST" version to follow. But, that's my 2cents...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
