Hey guys I was just looking at the Tein japan website and the spring kits for them have different models:

For e.g. The G35 has two different spring kits available: The S-Tech and the H-Tech, the S-tech giving a lower drop than H-tech. While if you look up the 350GT it's only got the H-tech available for them and not only that, the drop isn't as low as either of the kits available for the G35. Can anybody shed some light on this? Aren't they the same car which should mean they should have the same suspension?

Note. Car is Nissan skyline V36 sedan 4 350GT 2007/ Infinit G35 Sedan 4 Door 2007

I'll give my 2 cents worth here rather than over on G35driver.... It could be that they offer a number of different models in the G35 including an all wheel drive version - they have (as far as I can tell) the base, Journey, Sport and X which is AWD. This may be the reason, perhaps others can confirm and/or deny. From what I've read on G35driver with the Tein there is a good chance you'll need a camber kit whereas with the Eibach maybe not - again probably some experience in here that can confirm.

yep the year models in the US are "wrong" compared to japan. they started 2 years behind, and somewhere later they became just 1 year behind.

usually referring to a series one or series 2 of a particular body type (35, 36, 37) if applicable will be more accurate than the actual year.

the G37 is the V36 370GT, the G35 covers our V35 and V36 350GT.

The infiniti model numbers signify the engine size not the series.. the G25 is the V36 250GT.

I think Brad is probably on the right track.. the AWD G35 will have some differences.. as far as I know the RWD G35 (up to 2006) suspension setup is the same as our V35.

Hahaha there you are Brad! good to see you on here as well! Again thanks for the reply guys, so would it be safe to assume the spring kit I order from Tein Japan for a JDM V36 should fit regardless if my model is a USDM G35? Being both RWD they should right?

AWD G35 is the same suspension setup as AWD M35 Stagea's (2001-2007)... either NM35 or PM35.

What makes you think your car is a USDM G35? I assume you have a V36 and someone has put Infiniti badges on it. You cannot import G35s into Australia, and they are all LHD.

Thanks again guys for the replies, I appreciate the input and it's cleared up my confusion on the topic.

Andrew I ordered a V36 but I asked my importer to check for me and his said it's a G35 model because he saw the analogue clock on the dash (apparently USDM only) and although it's debadged the steering wheel symbol is infinity not G35 hence the confusion.

Is it left hand drive? The clock can be added and the steering wheel changed easy enough. I am quite certain that under RAWS G35s in any form cannot be imported. Unless it is a convertible out of Europe - there are a few of those floating around - pretty sure they only started making those in 2009 though.

smoke and mirrors can turn a G35 into a V35, didnt you know? headlights arent a problem either

also youre right, there are NO USDM G35/36/37s in australia and registered. maybe there are a few track only ones.

Almost.. G35 = V35 350GT and V36 350GT (sometimes called 2nd gen G35). G37 = V36 370GT.

The Infiniti model numbers signify engine size... thus no G36 as there is no 3.6L version..

There is now an Infiniti G25.. as you can guess it is basically a V36 250GT..

Same applies for the rest of the Infiniti models.. eg. M37 is a 3.7L V6.. M56 is a 5.6L V8.. etc..

Currently true.. all G37s will look that same as our V36..

but the 2007+ G35 is also the same as our V36.. and if the next series of skyline (V37), has a 3.7L engine, it will also be called a G37 in USA. So it could be potenitally misleading to make a direct G vs V comparson.

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
