Hi Guys, Looking At 350gts.

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.

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!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
