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

    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
