but thats not manual.

ha yeah i realise... its an auto with tiptronic.

overall there pretty nice. not too many of them around. they look good stock or dumped with a kit and wheels... nothing too over the top IMO

Output ranges from 240 hp to 301 hp (179 to 221 kW) and 246 lb·f to 287 lb·f (334 to 390 Nm). found on the web

Tiptronic has nothing on manual - might as well leave it in auto...?

Test drive it and see what the power is like... im curious to know what these things go like - looks nice

I went to see the one for $35, 500 bluddy good looking car better than what it looks in the picture. The thing i like about them is the front they look like a porsche. The lights on either side are pumped up.

I drove it they got some power the whole front launches when you give it. I wonder how they would sound with an exhaust, it sounded nice without one.

nice, but id definately get a 350z over one, in essence the same car but the Z is sportier, not a luxo cruiser

The 350Z is lighter, is more likely to have Brembos, the handling is more direct, and the chassis is stronger (more bracing and spot welded). As a sports car, it does a better job.

However, sometimes having only 2 seats is a right pain in the pass. And the front seats in the V35 are heaps nicer. Its also a bit more isolated in terms of ride and sound dampening, which makes it great as a cruiser.

Most of the mods between the 350Z and V35 are interchangable (the only thing that isn't is the exhaust, given the extra length of the V35). Since these cars are getting very popular among the tuner set overseas (especially in Japan and the USA) you can get more power if you want.

I've been giving some serious thought to trading in my car and getting a V35 coupe. I'll see if I'm still as enthused about track work a few months down the track, or if I'm in more desperate need for rear seats.

FWIW

Looked at and drove a premium 6 speed manual version with the "handling kit" and Brembo's. Silver, low km, sat nav, leather, blah blah ...

Nice car, looks great, handles pretty well (for an allrounder type setup), not as much room inside as you would think and does not go anywhere near as hard as it looks in standard form (although I believe a few mods and they go much better - ie look at some of the TT kits from the US)

Decided to pass on it and ended up buying a GTR.

Nuff said.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
