I'm looking at getting back into a skyline and am very interested in an 06 or 07 V35 coupe manual...hopefully the right one will pop up soon and i have the finances...prices at auctions look good, hopefully the aussie dollar can rise some more and make it a bit better :)

apart from interior/dash centre console design update, and optional Bose comes with MD player not Casette anymore (although kind of useless, Sony MD format never really picks up as a mainstream media), and the Navi panel features CARWINGS, which again is useless because CARWINGS only works in Japan (like a road assist / info program) nothing else different to the early V35.

Of course price is still up there as they're newer cars with on average less km travelled compared to the early ones.

Oh, the engine will still be VQ35DE like the early models. Don't compare it to USA's Infiniti G35 spec because in the JDM model the 06-07 model does not get the VQ35HR engine upgrade. So if there is any dealers out there advertising their 06/07 V35 Skyline with 'updated engine or 232kw', they're either lying or have no idea what they're talking about, or the car has been modified/engine swap which basically they're not suppose to be complied.

So Basically there is no real difference between buying a 2003 and a 2006 V35?

Its not like buying say an r33 where there were actual differences between models?

From what i understand the only difference is the headlights and the interior stuff that was mentioned before...and also most, if not all, the electrical bugs and that have been fixed... one of the reasons why i want one

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
