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).

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
