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 370GT comes in Base model, Type P, Type S and Type SP. Only Type S and Type SP is available with the 6 Speed manual transmission.

Type S and Type SP models have the sports package including 4 wheel active steering, upgraded brakes, 19″ wheels and tyres.

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.

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
