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...

The Base model and Type P have 18″ wheels. The Type P and Type SP have the premium package including full leather trim and heated seats.

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.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
