Hi, I have been on a few different forums over the years ns.com/hardtuned, evolutionoz etc recently joined here after picking up a 03 V35 6MT premium off car sales at the start of this month and have been scrolling this section ever since good to know there's plenty of info on the car around the place.

Previous owner was on this forum also some of you may know Alvin or username interfooler he kept the car really well and I am very happy with it not as fast as some of my other cars EVO/Clubsport or even the Silvia's but a nice all round daily!

Some pics after it had a quick detail on the weekend:

Future plans for the car include English conversion on screen, TV tuner and possible gps through same screen, iPod/USB input, wider lower offset wheels in 19" probably 9.5/10 combo if not all round, lowered on coils, HFC and cat back system of some sort, rear window spoiler, z-tube, MD spacer, already has a k&n panel filter so will keep that in place, up rev tune if can find anyone in Melbourne and that's about it.

And just another pic of my next to a mates car (who picked it up two days after seeing mine lol)

Very tidy looking V. I love those headlights. You got separate LEDS fitted down the parkers?

These cars are faster than most people think.It is faster than my R33gtst by some margin. Sure it doesnt have the poke of a clubby or an evo but its not 6 litres or an outright sports car but the ride handling is balance is far better than both. As for the Silvia how much boost were you running!!

Goodluck with it and the mods an keep as posted cheers!

Cheers mate! Yes they're LED's but there aren't aftermarket they are part of the headlight which previous owner bought in a group buy off this forum (if I can remember from searching was organised through Jesse Streeter from japan) friends are the same but just black housings instead of chrome.

Yes they are surprisingly quick and smooth once up and running I find they just feel slow on take off feel heavy etc but as you said it's like comparing apples to oranges with the EVO etc.. Handling is great and more comfortable than above mentioned cars! I am enjoying it but will look to get a little more poke from it in future.

200rwkw on the Silvia, 250at all 4 on the EVO and 270rwkw on the clubby! Not major number all pretty conservatively tuned. I will look to do a build thread in future possibly once I start getting some parts and things done, although I have to try and keep a car for a longer period than in the past I've been through about 12 different cars in the past few years.

Yeah I know what you mean when you first launch- the cars have that slow feel. The clutch/ big wheels make it real tricky to balance a good take off. Also I would say the low pressure piston rings for economy also play a big, big part. Its very different to driving a big 8 or a sports or R type car that are designed for more instant response More so when you add autos.

Its also the reason car is good on open roads I got 12.25 /l (8.25l/100) to melb.

Once you start cornering at speed with them they are unbelievable!!- they feel much smaller, tighter and turn in like nothing else. I love this about them more than anything!!. I think mine came with diff stabiliser bars but is standard ride height,shocks etc. the steering, brake feel are perfect wouldnt trade it for anything. This ride/handling balance also deceives you in thinking its slow. Once you start turning in 80+and accelerating out at 100+kph on medium corners you will know what I mean and it does it easily without fuss..thats the beauty of skyline- all of them do it better than most cars twice the price. I took a mate with a Clubsport for a drive and cornered at 80 whilst talking to him & he was just gobsmacked at how comfy it felt at speed..

So the answer is once you actually push on a but you will feel how nimble this car is.

You'll need to clear those codes first. Then wait for the check light to come on again. Then check again because they could be old error codes.

Fuel pressure, air flow and knock sensor.

Just google the error codes when you get them.

Getting my 09 370GT but badged as an Infiniti G37S next week :) (although i do like the skyline badging, i feel like the infiniti badges reduces attention from the cops a bit more)

any essential things i should do to the car? the headunit and everything is working beautiful already cos it's been converted already

will drive it rock stock for a while and then maybe black out the wheels(keeping the chrome nuts) and painting the calipers red or yellow, and at the first service chuck in some k&n panel filters

what do you guys think of a gloss black roof wrap?

I guess it's not a secret since it's clearly shown on their website on certain cars

Nagoya Motors, Caringbah - NSW

i believe he outsources the work for 2.5k but he can do some good deals for you, only place in Australia apparently

was also considering a V36 350GT SP with cream interior, non converted unit (yet) but it has a wifi mirroring system installed, can mirror tablets and phones somehow

Hi all.

Fairly long time member, had a few R33 skylines and now have a 2006 V36 Skyline 350GT Type SP. Love the car, crazy power for a sedan and so many features.

Have some plans for it (lowering, front tints, spacers, axle back exhaust).

Excuse the dirty car, had just driven it home from picking it up.... a 6 hour drive away.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
