スカイライン - Japanese for Renault powered Datsun

Which skyline is powered by a Renault engine?? the VQ is a Nissan engine (although Renault are now using it in some of their cars too).. the RB is an nissan engine..

Whoops, other way around.

Hahah thanks all for the warm welcome!

Mixing the 2 cars up is definitely facepalm worthy!

I've found the fb group and have joined up. Look forward to meeting some of you out there!

I've seen heaps of 350s around and am yet to see any 370s!

Ladies and Gents

Real name is Vadim, long time member (altho not active) and long time S14a 200sx owner, 10+ years now. Just bought a 2003 V35 250GT as a daily driver... Other than that, I'm a bit of an amateur weekend detailer and love working on my own cars, both cleaning and regualr maintenance

Hi there, I decided to go for a bit of change I swapped my R32 GT-R for a very clean pearl white 12/04 V35 4 door. I'm very happy with it. Its got full black leather seats, keyless start. And its got the 3.5 in it. I would like to go on the Perth V curies, when do you have them.

I don't remember if I introduced myself or not. But I am Marcus and I bought my brother an 2005 250GT sedan a few years back. Love the car, its so smooth and quiet. Has just enough grunt for a P plater.

350gt's have even better grunt for a p plater! unless your in NSW :P then your unlucky.

Thank you Sean,

It sits a bit lower than the photos now as well.

As for mods:

I've got all the basic NA mods, plenum spacers, HFC's, intake etc etc etc. It pulled around 230kw at the flywheel with all the mods on a dynopack.

Next step would be to tune it via OSIRIS , turbo or supercharge it, but I'm not going down that road as I'm thinking about selling it soon.

I've got to say as well, I installed all the mods after getting the car, the car was a basic blank canvas for me when I imported it...stock standard with even the standard 17 inch alloys.

Hi All, any help regarding DD conversion would be great at this point this is what I'm going with....

Metra 70-7550- Wiring harness? Or PAC ROEM-NIS2 - Not sure which one I need?

JDM DD Facia - http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-INFINITI-NISSAN-SKYLINE-G35-DOUBLE-DIN-DASH-KIT-IN-SILVER-WITH-AC-CONTROL-/230969689151?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AG35&hash=item35c6ddc43f&vxp=mtr

and the Ca-Fi Dashlinq (Unless anyone can give me any other great alternatives??)

Nissan Antenna Adapter

Is there anything else I really need to do the conversion? I mean I intend to get Tonkins here in S.A to install it, but is there anything I've missed other than the wiring harness? the JDM unit comes with the A/C controller.

Let me know what you think,

Hey guys,

Thought I'd introduce myself here. Just recently bought a 2003 V35 in black for a bargain. There still has some work to do to it before it becomes road worthy, but I have a long list of modifications to go through over the next year or so - this is only the start!

Just wondering, where have people gotten their exterior body kits/lips from? Trying to source out various parts, such as INVEN front bumper and IMPUL side skirts and having some difficulty sourcing it out from reliable sellers.

    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
    • Just to get this straight if you turn the splined shaft to the outside, it turns freely but the chain does not move? What happens when you move the chain, does the splined shaft turn? Surely the shaft is snapped, or the chain is seized and it took the teeth off whatever great is behind the steel bracket
    • Good on you for mentioning, that helps as far as other things you might need to check
