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).

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
