Hi guys,I am looking at a buying a V36 coupe.

I originally wanted an auto as the manuals are alot more expensive in the same condition. However I have come across one in VIC that is dirt cheap and I have had it inspected by my mechanic aswell who has given me the go ahead.

Before I buy it, I just want to know if there are any issues or things that are good to know about the 6 speed models. I couldn't find much info so I thought I would ask.

I don't think there are any particular issues.. the weak synchro issue was resolved during the V35 run, so won't be an issue on the V36.

Take it for a test drive and see what you think.. the feel of the V35 6MT took a while to get used to, even for experienced manual drivers.

Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two.

When you say cheap, it depends on what you mean. There is a big difference between a car being sold for $5k under market for a quick sale and $20k under market because its f**d.

In regards to the boxes, haven't heard any issues. Just look after it.

In relation to title, a little more thought next time. The guys can offer a wealth of info when you ate clear and concise with your request.

All the best. Hope you find an awesome car!

It's not that cheap, its about 5-6k under market value. The guy is trading it in, showed me receipts for the new car he purchased. Everything is legit, Just wants to make a few bucks on top of the trade in value.

Well thanks for all your help guys.

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
