From what I have noticed it will only pull forward on its own if the passenger door is also open. If I have the door closed it will never move automatically

...so as to not squash / kill your passenger. It's a safety feature. Embrace it.

Personally, I thank Nissan and their Japanese smarts for incorporating this feature into the V35 Coupes :)

I certainly don't want to be that front passenger person who becomes sandwiched between the seat and the dash due my rear passenger prematurely ejecting me.

sedans there is so many different sub grades of each engine grade it is not funny.

I have a 250GTe (base model, manual seats, double din and fixed back seat) , there is also 250GT, 250GTm, 300GT and 300GT premium. All models bare base 250GT had the option for s collection (black leather/suede) or p collection which is full cream leather.

All models got power fold mirrors. Auto dipping was an option (by itself or part of a pack with camera)

For sedan owners if you want to know more let me know.

Hi spector171. Suggest you grab a big hammer and hit it hard. That'll fix it :-)

Seems to me that the best way given that no-one seems to actually be sure what is 'premium' is to buy a year specific grade 4 / 4.5 , specify 'non premium' so that you get the best price and see WTF turns up.

:rofl2:

I'm sure I posted a link in this thread to the Nissan Japan webpage, which will tell you what features are premium and what are options.

Don't have time to search right now.

Edit- here it ishttp://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fhistory.nissan.co.jp%2FSKYLINE%2FV35%2F0411%2FGRADE%2Fmain6.html&sl=ja&tl=en&history_state0=

Ah Ha, Premium- = black interior, ice steering wheel controls , satnav , DVD system , ----- 'Plain as Coupe' = Black interior , now I know I'm definitely going for the non premium---seriously----. thanks again sonicii.

V35 350GT Manual sedans are are as rare as Rocking horse poo, AND, they are all listed as "Premium" but my 2004 model has missed out on Brembo's (knew it wouldn't have these), leather, (Not a problem for me) no Bose, (A factory option, even on a premium sedan) and no steering wheel controls. The help I have had in here to determine my cars authenticity has been fantastic - thank you.

This car will hopefully be as reliable and painless as my beautiful R34 GTT sedan was for all the years I owned it. I recently lost it in a horrific accident on Peninsula link, and the car quite literally died for me. I hate to think whether or not I would be typing this, If I hadn't of been in that car. My injuries are still extensive but I'm here, so I just had to get another Skyline. Thanks to my agreed value with #shannons, I had enough to buy a very good V35.

A couple of pics of the R34 before and after. This was a trophy winning car. Rear ended at 100 KPH and shunted into a wall head on on peninsula link.

I seem to have G35 wheels (after market colour) on my (new to me) 2007 G36 350 gt type P.

These are all 18x8, currently shod with 235/40 crap..Bonanza???

It is hard to match the factory rolling diameter of originals with new tyres. 

Originals  for 'type p' were 17's all round with 225/55, on the type sp, 18X 7" and 18 X 8 1/2" with  225/50 f and 245/45 r.

However, 245/45 are too wide for my current 8"...

I was hoping for wider than 235 on my rears on existing rims

What to do?

Find some SP 18 rims?   i.e. 18x7" and 18x18.5"...(I like the staggered look).

Sadly budget constraints preclude re new rims atm.

Tnx.

NB In Australia.

They look like coupe V35 18s.  I have these on my V35 sedan and I am running 245/45 all round without issue.  I find 245 a good width for these rims, they protrude just far enough past the rim so you don't tear up your rims if you touch a gutter, but not too far that they bulge.

Factory tyre sizes on these rims on the coupe was 245/45 rear, 225/45 front.

Just FYI, there is no such thing as a G36.  You have a V36.

Thanks sonici...Good info.. why do I keep thinking "g" ! dooh.

I was thinking 245 on front might make it a bit 'tracky'.  I see the sport version of mine (sp) ran 7 1/2 " fronts with 225/50..unusual size.

What brand of tyres are you running on the sedan?..and happy with them ?

Cheers.

currently running Maxxis MA511 as was recommended as a decent tyre for a good price by a tyre dealer, but no, I don't recommend them on a car like this, they are about what you would expect for a low-mid priced tyre in the dry, average steering response, not really great grip, but reasonably predictable.  In the wet, they aren't nice at all, they will break traction quite easily and unpredictably and as they wear, they are getting worse.  Once they are worn out, I will probably pay the extra for something like Michelin PS3.  I had Kumho KU36 on the front before that, they were a nice tyre, but stupidly noisy.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
