I am currently looking into all the practicality issues of owning a V36 Skyline. I want a 370gt 7speed AWD sedan, but if they don't end up being comlianced, i will probably settle for a 350gt

In either case most spare parts stores don't even acknowledge the existence of the V35 and V36 Skylines.

I had a similar problem with my 180sx back before they were largely recognised. I used to say it was a 92 SR20DET Silvia which usually worked fine.

So would it be right to assume if i get a 350gt i just tell the guy in the store that i need spares for a Nissan 350z, and a 370z if i get the 370gt?

P.S. sorry if this has been covered before, i searched the FAQ and the other threads in this section before i posted, but i couldn't find anything!

not the V36 350GT though, Nissan 350Z is different and 370Z is only similar to the V36 370GT in terms of most mechanical part (apart from interior, exterior panels, and bits and bobs of other parts).

My guess if the AWD is available for import - the transmission part will be out of the question as local 350z/370z are not offered in AWD.

The only other way is to wait 10-20 years until they become as common as R32 today.

Not entirely true, I'm pretty sure the 07-08 350Z has the same engine as the V36 350GT Skyline sedan. Both have the VQ35HR engine.

As far as i know, engine parts like filters, plugs, etc etc are the same.

Really not sure about running gear like brakes, and obv panels and interior are entirely different.

Chris,

Mate i m after decent exhaust and intakes for 370gt coupe.. Any estimates?? and also is there any update on 370 navigations system that you were working on? Cheers!!

.

This is a great exhaust : http://www.exoticspeed.ca/product_info.php?cPath=62_96_120_741&products_id=4861

does some youtubing for sounds :D

Hey what about us guys in the states that want some parts from across the water. Seems impossible to get Parts for the G/V35 Amber turn signal Tail lights, nismo gauge clusters, anniversary steering wheels small bits like that.

such as?

Well...was considering below items:

1) Paddle Shifter kit

2) Sport Bumper (Front) and possibly a nice lips for it

3) Side and back kit OEM (Aero Kit)

4) Illuminated Kick plates (Skyline not Infinit wordings)

No 1 & 2 being my priority..he2..:whistling:

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
