Hey guys just searched "v35 sedan" because Im interested in them, anyways I just got scattered posts and threads of info about it in the fourms so I was just making this one with some questions if people with knowledge could answer, also it would help in th future for others wanting to know about the sedans.... I'm pretty sure there something like this for the coupe v's.

Anyways some of the questions i wanted to ask was;

What are the variants of the sedans? (trannys, engine power, engines...etc)

Differnces between years/models?

-Do the sedans also have a update interior or/and engine for late models/series 2 (if there is any series 2's)?

Any specific options or gadgets between years? Iv read (very vaig) on some sorta special key or start stop button??

Common sedan problems?

That's all I can think of right now if any one wants to contribute don't hesitate to do so, cheers.

You can pretty well get the same things in a sedan as a coupe - same changes in engine between series 1 and 2. premium and standard models, 6sp manual and the auto options. The manual sedans do not get the brembo brakes option but otherwise are very similar. Exhaust system is slightly different and has large single rear muffler with twin outlets compared to the coupes horizontally mounted rear muffler and separate outlets. Sedan has slighlty more low down torque but slightly less top end power but you can hardly notice the difference.

Seating position in the sedan is way higher than coupe but again not significant unless on a race track ( and even then I wonder how much difference it really makes.) Sedans are way cheaper to buy but getting a good manual one is still extremely difficult simply because the Japs only produced manuals at the rate of 1car per 200 manufactured.

Inside the cabin they are damn near identical, in the front seats anyway. Obvoiusly rear head room is significantly cut by the sleek coupe rear end.

Ofcourse there is the obvious, the series 1 350GT-8 sedan (VQ35DE) being an 8 speed cvt auto, with known issues and very expensive oil. Also had paddles for the manual shifts. Post 2005 became a 5 speed auto, same as the coupe.

Also VQ25DETT and VQ30DE variants came with the 4 speed auto box.

Think you can put bigger wheels on the coupe.

5 speed autos came in pre 2005 as well. My previous 300gt (vq30) was a 5 speed 2001 model. And FYI series 2 sedans started in late 2004. I have one too.

Its standard on S2 sedans as far as I am aware. Its actually called the Intelligent key. If you have the chance to check out a Series 2 seda, have a look on the drivers side door and also the boot, there is a button there. If you have the key fob in your pocket, you just press the button to lock/unlock doors and bootlid. Same thing when you are inside the car, as long as you have the key in your pocket or close proximity, you just turn this knob next to the steering wheel where you would normally insert your key (keyless start).

    • 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
