As nice as the V36 is, it absolutely sh!ts me to tears that Nissan is like 3 years behind everyone else when it comes to interiors. Take our V35 for example, and the V36 is not much better.

Sorry, it's much better than the V35, but way behind what others are doing in 2008/09.

the v36 does have a better interior than the v35. i agree, nissan is terrible when it comes to design and materials used for the interior. i'm not totally sold on the v36 exterior. maybe it's one of those that will grow on you. the rear spoiler looks bad....

I think it looks pretty hot other than that spoiler. The back is a bit rounder than I expected from the press photos I'd seen.

I reckon the V36 sedan looks better than the coupe from the back.

There's a V36 already sitting in the IMG's garage in Auburn, getting complianced, will be ready by xmas.

To be honest, it's twice the car that V35 is, a lot more powerful engine, updated interior: more functional and ergonomical. but asking price is ~$60k... Probably won't spend that much on an import that has no warranty no after sales support, and most importantly half the stuff in the car is in jap, probably won't work here in Australia.

Do u know how much they will be charging for compliance ? at 60 grand is still while worth it i reckon.

just pulled out my Skyline Catalogue-

Looks like the black one is the Type S model which is the 2nd most expensive varient. 4 variations in specs.

370GT to 370GT Type P to 370GT Type S to the 370GT Type SP.

SP price is 4,473,000Yen.

4,473,000.00 JPY = 43,836.31 AUD

Japan Yen Australia Dollars

1 JPY = 0.00980020 AUD 1 AUD = 102.039 JPY

This car has a shite load more features compared to the V35.

The wing has the reverse camera in it.

Also has what I saw in the Lexus GS430- the distance sensor while driving. The car will auto adjust speed and distance from the car infront, whilist in cruise control.

Plus more I CBF writing about at this time of the morning. :(

no idea on the compliance cost, but these guys do imports n compliance themselves... I dont know how similar V35 and V36's engine is, r the parts interchangable? as for the cost... i dont think i'll spend $60k on a car with no warranty, aftermarket support or parts readily available. plus the big big downside is, the main feature: the car's computer console is all in jap... so its pretty much useless as the one on V35s.

Can't wait!! Although not a big fan of the hideous spoiler.. reminds me of the ugliest coupe ever known to man (the chrysler crossfire) but I guess all the new toys will counter it..

so intelligent key (about bloody time)

push button start

radar cruise control

bluetooth

mp3 cd

aux in

as for the interior i think its on par if not better then bmw's.. they do come in different colours and finishes.. also love the new dash *drools*

to me the interior, dash lighting and seat design is on par with mercs... certainly a lot better than bmws :rofl:, feels much more european than japanese... i didnt get a change to drive it as it's unregistered, sat in it for a while and loved it... the silver line on the boot lead isnt a spoiler, u can either repair it to the body colour or use an aftermarket spoiler to cover it, certainly a lot better than the "pimple" camera on the V35s. only if it was cheaper... :)

give it time, they will drop sharply in price over the next year and a half after it is officially up for import for those that can wait.

For those that can't, like me, will be stuck paying well over the odds :)

My brochure also says it has 4WAS. Only in the SP and S models.

A heap of ergonomic design - somehow lining up side mirrors, with steering, with seat position. Also rear passengers sit at similar angles to the driver and front passenger.

So that what I can mae out at least.

Colors:

Red A54

3 shades of grey

a) K57 (similar to Pewter) b) Graphite K52, c) light silver K23

White QX1

Black KH3

Blue B21

in case anyone's interested, here's a video review of the current g37 in the US. looks the same as the v36 pictures except for the rear end which looks a lot better. this is the first part of the review only.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
