Hey guys,

I am contemplating on upgrading my V35 to a V36 coupe.

Seen a few black ones on carsales for around 45k.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the S, P & SP. The defintions that I have come across have been pretty simplistic...

I love my v35, just love it! But, now i want the v36...

Driver position memory allows preseting of seating and steering wheel position for two different drivers.

the problems with aftermarket warranty is they are normally 'limited' to a certain amount per part or per claim, e.g. a maximum of $2000 per claim or $500 on gearbox, $500 on engine etc. You'll need to read between the fine prints to find out about it. especially if the warranty is provided 'free' with the purchase, it's usually the basic plan/cover.

the difference between that and factory warranty (IF the car is officially imported by Nissan in full volume) then factory warranty covers all the cost for covered parts, with exception some extended warranty offered by individual dealer above the factory warranty period, but again that

is aftermarket warranty that dealer offers.

again, for others it may not be such an issue, but after having to spend hours trying to fix some stuff on my V35, or the amount of money spent on getting navigation, etc sorted as there's no australian version coming out of nissan, I would rather not having to do it myself on a V36 due to the complexity of electronics and interior/body panels etc - not to mention seeing some of you has had trouble with various stuff in the car (and for unlucky few that has problem with CVT-8 (ouch!) transmission) - so having a factory warranty now becomes one of my must have criteria when getting my next car. thus, I'll wait till Skyline becomes an official Nissan local delivered car before I'll even consider to come near one again... But of course this is Skyline forum with a great affection towards grey imports, so I can understand if not everyone agrees with me.

I heard Infiniti is coming to Australia in 2012 - now that will be a major turnaround... but until then I'll just sit tight for now. Most local delivered cars are just as good these days - with equipment level & performance on par or better than the v35/v36 skylines.

Looking at a V36 myself but the depreciation and big increase in supply by importers of these cars scare me.

Thanks to huge amounts of importing, there are quite a lot of V35s out there now and subsequently they've dropped in price. I'm pretty sure the same thing will happen to V36s too.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
