so a guy in the USA on G35driver.com has finally decided to sell the paddle shift kit he was makign for the G35 and V35.. for a while it looked like he pulled out but has finally offered it if he gets 10 people

it uses paddles from a G37/V36/R35 skyline linked with a custom control box..

unfortunately he is selling the kit which included brackets, paddles, and control box for $750!

i thought i would post it up in case anyone was interested. i was keen, but at that price i'm not so sure anymore..

the thread: http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183031

the paddles:

the shifters on their own are $150 retail

maybe there might be a cheaper solution?

heaps of others in the USA have adapted the paddles themselves without any kit..

chris, interested in working out your own brackets and control box :D ?

haha nah i know you have a lot on your plate right now..

anyway thought i would post it in case others were interested

cheers,

Warren

would be easier to use a GT8 setup I think. so - shroud,paddles,brackets. dont see anything about a custom box there. figure it would tag off the '+' & '-' triggers on the main shifter.

next GT8 I get I'll pop the wheel off.

To be perfectly honest Waz, I see too much effort and money for little gain.

To me, it's like something you want when you don't have them, but when you have them you aren't into them.

I use them like once in a blue moon. As they don't rotate with the steering wheel, they aren't practical for driving fast which is why you would have it in the manual mode in the first place. Twisty bits at speed forget about it. The shifter is just so much easier and perfect to flick up and down. I say borrow a GT-8 for a few days and then see how you feel.

I must admit though they do look cool though:-

If it doesn't rotate with the steering wheel then probably it'll be better to just re-wire the up n down gear shifter so pushing forward is downshift and pulling back is upshift. That's probably a more worth it mods. Might have to get some nice + & - stickers to stick on top of the original ones.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
