There is no VQ35DD engine, the 3.5L engine is not direct injected, so it is a VQ35DE.

The oil consumption issues you read about are likely realted to the 'rev-up' version of the VQ35DE fitted to the 05+ Infiniti G35. This engine was never used in the skyline.

OK, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I assumed the VQ35 in V35 was DD, I see that's not right at all now.

You have put my mind at ease.

On topic of the oil consumption issues.. my car has used almost 1.5L of oil in around 7,000km/6 months. Definitely doesn't seem normal to me, but i keep getting different dipstick readings it's very annoying and it's such in a stupid location!

I find I need to let the car sit for about 10 minutes after stopping before checking the oil.

It seems some oil in the head returns to the sump via the dip stick. Making it impossible to get an accurate reading until it has finished draining.

Same on the VQ35DE in the maxima.

Noob question, are V35 coupe front struts, shocks and springs interchangable /direct fitment for to V35 sedan?

Interchangeable. Yes. But the coupe springs are slightly lower than the sedan springs (about 12mm or 1/2 inch)

Thanks mate,

What about 350Z front struts, shocks and springs?

I have read that they will swap over to V35 coupe, but are 1" lower?...... So therefore are 1 1/2" lower on sedan?

Can any one confirm this for me please?

Also, would anyone know is V35 sedan and coupe front seat interchangeable? Do they share the same base frame mounting points

350z springs will give a 1in drop on a sedan or a 1/2in drop on a coupe.

Not sure about the seats, but I don't think they are a simple swap.

So, let me get this straight, are you saying that the 350Z struts don't bolt up to V35 knuckles and struts towers?

But that the springs out of the 350Z struts and rears fit V35 and give the lower ride height when installed?

350z struts and springs are a direct bolt on to coupe and sedan Vs. it will lower the sedan by 1" and the coupe by about 1/2"

^^ this.. everything fits, the V35 coupe, sedan and 350z all use the same suspension setup.. the only difference is the ride height with the different springs. The 300gt and 250gt may have had lighter duty shocks too if they had lower spring rates.. not too sure on that one though.. n15m0 can probably anwer that too..

I love it! Best car i have had for sure, just an absolute pleasure to drive with the 6spd.

Im keen to know more about the car and would like to meet up with felow enthusiests one day.

All i have done to it so far is remove the "skyline" badging, boot lip spoiler and swap "S" plates for premium squares.

Plans are wheels, exhaust and bits n pieces to make it a little more agile.

Maybe an air induction kit of some sort too.

Cheers

Thanks mate. I couldn't stop looking at v35's since I got mine. First thing I did when I got it home is cleaned the whole car and fixed the seat. The previous owner thought that its broken but once I got home I disconnected the battery and took the seat out, disconnected the motor and manually winded the seat and moved it forward a bit. Reconnected the wiring and voila its all working. The only issue is if you move the seat too far back, it gets stuck again. I need to clean the rails properly, ill do that when I get time off work.

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
