It's not the end of the world if we don't have one, but at the moment there is a small subculture of us communicating via emails, msn and pm's.

I run across a number of issues, fixes and tips every week, and I guess it would be good if we could target a specific group of enthusiasts with our info.

Currently g35driver.com is the place to be, but it is very frustrating sometimes not having someone local to discuss with.

I don't think it will be a particularly large area, and happy to help out with the moderating.

Cheers.

We did discuss a while back having an R32/3/4 but we decided against it because they are all so similar, but the V35 is so much different to the others that I think having its own area is a good idea. I will discuss it with the other mods and get a feel for what they think but I think it'd be fine.

Christian

pretty pretty please.

I wanted to do a write up on all the info I've found out since owning the car, things I found out simply through trial and error.

There is very little to no info on v35s (in english), so a specific area where info could be found for new/ current owners would be extremely handy.

Like right now for example, I've got my car sitting in the transmission place because nowhere in the world (besides japan) has the appropriate info on my car.

I would def be prepared to dig in and give a hand if required

Sounds like a good idea... but as C said...

If there isnt a R3-2/3/4 section. Why does thee need to be a 35 one?

Fair enough for other models like Ceffy's which arent skylines, but, well the others are.

Otherwise as each new model (36/whatever) will get its own one aswell. And then R3X owners will ask for thier own and it turns into a little mess.

Personally, i vote a no from my view at this stage. But thats just me :D

I understand where you are coming from and if I didn't own a v35 I would probably be of the same opinion. What you really need to take into consideration is the difficulty alot of the owners of the 35s are having with gathering information. For example I recently had to replace my front rotors and due to the lack of available info (and difficulties faced dealing with nissan Australia) it came down to a bit of a guessing game. Now if I had somewhere to go and find this info the whole process would have been that much easier (so I could get back to enjoying my car rather than wondering if I'm shelling out cash for a part that may not fit).

There is a wealth of info/parts available for previous models so a specific forum for each model would be pointless. But unfortunatley, and I wish it wasn't the case, that is just not a reality for the v35 at this point (especially the gt-8).

We are not asking for a forum/sub forum so we can isolate ourselves from the skyline community, in fact the reason why we want it here is because we wish to stay a part of the community (rather than starting up our own forum on another site). Please do not think this will be a place for v35s owners to sit around and go "aren't we cool with our lack of round tail lights", that is not the point of this proposed forum.

I would also like to say that much of the info gathered on the v35 will also apply to the v36, at this point I would imagine future models also.

So as I sit here calling the transmission place everyday, only to find out that non of his contacts in Australia, europe or America know anything about my transmission, I think to myself "such is the price of owning one of these cars". I accept that and am happy to pay that price, but I tell you what, if the info I needed was easily available it would save me alot of time and money!!!

That's how I feel too. Well put. Everywhere I go, no one has any experience(which is fair enough of course) and I've got bits and pieces of info that i've collected through odd resources. And happy to help others and hopefully can call on them when required.

Will, PM your trannie problems, I need to replace the rotors & brakes as well soon so need to chat.

Great idea, I dont understand why theres sections for ceffys and stageas and not for V35 SKYLINES this is Skylines australia after all

Edited by nismo 400 R N1

Add another one to the "Yes Please" list.

I can see the point about no seperate sections for the 32/33/34's, but the V35 is a completely seperate kettle of fish.

Almost every aspect of the car is different to the R series. Advice given in nearly all the seperate forums, such as the N/A forum, suspension forum, etc will not apply to V35's.

The V35 is becoming more and more popular.

Maybe if there was a "V engined Skylines section", rather than specifically V35, or "Skylines 2002 Onwards" as more than likely all variants in the foreseeable future will V configuration rather than straight 6's.

100% support as an CPV35 owner.

I just brought the HIGH REV issue for V35, not too much information but at least has some.

Regarding rotor and break.

I tried to replace them as well, but the workshop is hard to find any replacement within good price range. (You can always source F50 system from jap but them are.................XXX expensive)

At last I get a new set of NEW break pad the front is made in JAP cost $110, the The rear pair is made locally cost $80. Honestly, the local one are crap.

Would like to get our own section and share information with others.

Wish I can see that soon.

Well guys I'm in the process of purchasing a v35 workshop manual from japan which I will have translated to english over here. My wallet is trembling but I feel it needs to be done.

Frank, the rotors that ended up fitting my 35 were aftermarket 2003 350z rotors (non anniversary addition). I use genuine nissan pads which have been great. My mechanic has all the part numbers, will grab them on the weekend.

^^lol coming from a 32 driver

there alrdy is a aus forum for V35, u just need to find it

ztuned,

Please enlighten me - where exactly is this forum? I've been on these boards since they started and am yet to see a V35 specific forum.

And could he possibly have a 32 AND a V35?

cheers

Put me down for a big YES!

I spend more time on G35Driver.com because it is easier to find stuff.

V Series are completely different to the R Series. It is not that we are snobs or anything but it just make better sense to keep them seperate. Nothing carries over between the two models so why put in the same forums?

Actually... V-Series. Good way to put it.

Is there a G Series aswell? (excuse my ignorance). Or something maybe to call it? Just dont wanna get it too wrong

I'll look at it over the long weekend and dummy something up.

I've had a think and i can see the merits, and so does Christian so thats good enough of a nod :rofl:

Excellent executive decision.

V Series is the Skyline V35 from Japan JDM will continue on as V36, V37 etc etc.

G Series is the Infiniti G35 from USA.

For arguments sake the same car with subtle differences.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
