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up any information on them other than a few Japanese fan websites, and some old blog posts from Nissan that have now been archived: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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
