Hey all,

I just bought a 2007 350GT SP 50th Anniversary edition, and I'm finding it rather difficult to dig up any information on them other than a few Japanese fan websites, and some old blog posts from Nissan that have now been archived:

http://web.archive.org/web/20081207232609/http://blog.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/archives/2007/11/50th_limited.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20081202075633/http://blog.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/archives/2007/02/superblack.html

I don't recall much of my 4th grade Japanese lessons, and Google Translate makes a mess of Asian languages (at best).

From the second link, I'm assuming that it suggests the 50th Anniversary models were by order only, and the tables are the breakdown of what was ordered from the 10,000 as of 16 February 2007. Does anyone know when Nissan stopped taking orders, and the final number built?

I've only ever seen 3 for sale in Australia, and I have my suspicions one (currently for sale in SA) is fake. From my findings, and talking to my importer/dealers/RAWS, the 50th Anniversary models all came with the parking cameras mounted in the front bumper, not the door mirrors - which this one doesn't. But this is about all I know of them other than the red leather seats, brushed aluminium dash trim, and serial number engraved windscreen.

Does anybody have any more information on them, or know someone I could ask?

Think he's talking about v36 not v35...? Hardly see any v36 50th around

Yes. I'm talking about the V36.

The 50th Anniversary models of the 350GT all have red leather seats with embroidery signifying the occasion. They were only built between 11/07 and 03/08.

I wasn't aware the V35 came out as a 50th Anniversary... surely they would have stopped production by this point?

Very reluctant to trust the information given by an ad. People will say all kinds of crap to sell their car. 2004 model falls 3 years short of the anniversary year.

50th Anniversary is for the Skyline - first one built in 1957.

70th Anniversary would be of Nissan (I can only assume), founded in 1933. 2003 marking their 70th year.

I found this news service report...

Been looking for more info for days, haven't had any luck. Might try to get in contact with Nissan to find out final build numbers. Be very interested to know how many they pumped out.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
