Hey all, I'm currently looking at a V35 350GT for my next car so I thought I might jump in on the community beforehand.

I already know that they share most, if not all their parts with the 350Z so I'm not concerned too much about servicing and running costs.

I'd just like to know if there's anything other than the usual inspection necessities that I should be looking out for on these particular cars? And is there anywhere that I can easily source an 'English-ising' kit for the satnav/tv screen and the buttons on the centre console? As I'm aware a few of them are in Japanese.

Sorry if these questions have all been answered already I'm posting this from my iPhone and it's a bit hard to browse normally.

Peace! :blink:

I just helped my mate get a beautiful 350GT through Autoworx. The biggest thing i've been advised to check with these is the electrics, they are on some sort of computer bus and adding or taking ANYTHING from it can cause problems (audio, alarm etc).

As for the satnav/tv there is apparently a dude in Vic park in Perth which can swap it over to a dvd player for $250 or something, one of the V35 guys may know better depending on state etc. (don't know where you are located)

Swapping it over to English wouldn't really be worth it I dont think because you wont get TV or Satnav anyways as they are programmed to Jap satellites etc.

All of the above is second hand knowledge so I'm not sure as to how correct it is but they are a very nice car judging by my mates.. (also I recommend manual not sure if the 350GT model comes in tiptronic or CVT but I've heard CVT can have problems and costs a fortune to fix).

cheers,

Steve

Got mine from Fabcar. They got lots of options for V35.

I reckon they are abit pricy than other dealers but they got good warranty package and will back the customer up if something goes wrong with their cars.

one thing to watch - ELECTRICS!!

second thing: if you are buying the car for toys - buy something else.

if you are in QLD then I rework the navi/TV systems. search my name on here for more info.

have your wallet out as this is NOT a cheap exercise.

haha no no nobody has scared me off .. I didn't think I'd get so many replies so quickly.

Chris is it possible to run an aftermarket head unit that can output display to the OEM screen? I'd have thought that would be the simplest solution if it wasn't a simple flashing of the software.

I've seen some examples of the buttons in english so I'm not too concerned about sourcing those. Still very keen to test one out tbh, they weren't even on my list until a few days ago .. saw a few around my area, they seem to be becoming more popular lately.

Hey People

I have asked this questions before.

1: I need a bit of help in converting my radio to a Australia signal

2: How can I connect my Iphone to listen to my music

3: How do I convert my TV/DVD to englsih

4: I am in Sydney with a 2005 SII-V35 2 doors

Thanks for you help.....

Ok so I managed to drive one today ... they're so much smoother and quieter than 350Z, the inside is a lot nicer too - I didn't manage to get the drivers seat setup to my liking though, I'm 6'2" and I felt like I was sitting quite high up, but my gf in the passenger seat was quite comfortable and low, I don't think I got the hang of the electric controls. :-(

I do like the engine though ... it's really refined and responsive when you get it a boot ... the place I went to test this car had already fitted a new GPS setup and Australianised the controls and menus, but it had too many KM for my liking.

I shall keep looking!

xD

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
