Seeing as how I've sold off my old cars I will officially introduce myself as I'm the proud new owner of a 2007 Skyline V36 370GT SP. Big thanks to IMG motorsport in sydney for helping me and also letting me sit in their R35's

This car is awesome, I've had a 350z prior and the build quality of this car is leap years ahead. 0-100km/h in a blink. Side mirror and reversing camera, hard drive to record video and music for playback, tv and satnav(working on getting it working in oz) even a joystick on the left side of the steering column to let you adjust the steering wheel up down and in and out.

Just a shame I couldn't hold out for the manual version, my new job means I travel a lot so An auto isn't so bad for that.

19" wheels, Sticky Potenza rubber and massive brakes

If you see me driving around give me a wave

Cheers,

PJ

Plans are to keep everything as is looks wise,

Full Exhaust, extractors but keep it all quiet as possible

High flow panel filters

Air/fuel controller

Wow. you're the first person that i even remotely know that has one of these cars. Very nice buy...im somewhat jealous. :)

Its kinda funny how you had a r34 skyline and a 350z and now you have this, its like a merge of the 2 old cars. a 350z platform like car with the skyline name and backseats.

Looks very comfy.

Thanks Guys :P

the engine is stupidly effortless. You can be cruising along in 60 and not hear a thing and the engine becomes a screaming banshee when you plant your foot down, difference from my last cars was the majority of the noise came from the exhaust. The sounds coming from this car is all engine. Fark imagine when I put a full exhaust in!

Criticism would be the weight of the car, definitely more a car for the older japanese business man who still wants to mix it up on the wangan if the mood takes him, turn in is nowhere near as crisp as my old r34/350z and you can feel the weight pull through when you take a corner hard, but in true skyline fashion it makes up for this by predictable/manageable handling.

I've been playing around with the function display (all in Japanese) and the reversing camera will actually trace a line on screen depending on your steering angle to help judge where the car will go and also does this with a camera integrated into the left side vision mirror so you can avoid wheel scrapes

Even the paddle shifters have leather on them.

I thought the 350z was a century in front of the r34 interior wise, the v36 puts the 350z interior to shame and them mocks it's inadequacy.

All in all very happy with it so far, and I'd better be too as this will be my last car for a long time :D

Thanks again,

PJ

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
