銈广偒銈ゃ儵銈ゃ兂 - 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.

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
