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.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
