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.

Start button

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.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
