Hi,

I have a 2004 350GT coupe. Amazing handling car.

I remembered reading about the fuel flap release on this site, prior to purchasing, but got caught out with the "Won't start unless your foot is on the clutch trick" For some reason Jumper leads didn't help...

Have had the power window problem also.

Anyway, one quirk I was looking for some help with is the Seats. Whenever I open a seat to put the kids in the back, it doesn't go back to the same position. The seatback is more upright than before accessing the rear (same whether accessing from the rear or the side lever). Not a major thing, but annoying, so is this the same on all coupes???

Is there any fix?

the seats have no memory, so i think it goes back to a default position... cant be fixed...

I thought those clever Japanese would have thought of that, they think of most other things. Maybe on the V36?

No worries, thanks for reply.

Yeah i think seat memory was introduced in later models, so it should be implemented in the V36. after all this is a entry model luxury cruiser... :P

clarify your question a bit. they do go back tot he position you left them however the seat back does not. if you have a lean on it then it will go to the first notch when clicked back. irony being that the USDM car had full memory seats.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
