:turned:Like the title --I'm looking at buying a V36 350GT type SP --but---

I've been reading the trials and tribulations of owners in the "Firmware update" thread and don't want to go near anything that is going to mean an ongoing shit fight with tit faced dealerships ,- however I'm an optimist by nature and would like to think that problems with this car are expeditiously solvable , - in spite of initial evidence that they're just another potentially more work than fun frak up.

I've already owned a 180SX-X and an R34GT-t, both imports, and found Nissan to be well helpful , is the V36 the exception to my previously good experience with Nissan ?

I live in Hervey Bay currently and have misgivings about what local expertise may be here with Nissan ,experience with both Mitsubishi and Suzuki dealerships in 'good ole" Hervey have been less than inspiring, I'm handy on the spanner but when it comes to electronics I'm useless it's the tuners or bust for me.

So folks , how big a punt is one of these V36'iz ? :turned:

No idea , new animals to me , I've been looking further and am now trending towards the earlier 03/04 350GT 2 door but I'm not quite familiar with the model range as yet.

I found a faults thread then couldn't open the damn thing .--wouldn't have a link to a 'what to look out for 'thread by any chance ???

Go for a 05-06 if you can, they are the series 2 or 3 and have fixed most of the niggly issues like window motors and they should have the revised 6sp manual transmission (if you are looking for a manual). Although I am guessing you might be after an auto? as the V36 350GT only came in a 4dr sedan, and all V36 sedans are auto.

Most info you are after will be found by searching the page.. not sure why you couldn't open any threads though??

Thanks for the replies guys , I'm a mine of indecision over auto/manual but it definitely won't be the 4 door , didn't realise the V36 was a four door only--idiot , read the specs but----doors-- :huh: it's got doors ?, cost will dictate to some degree what model I go for and of course there's the never ending real klm issue--nothing new there--unfortunately , saymo saymo with the R34GT-t and the 180sx-x before it .

Anyone got any comment on RITE PRICE AUTO IMPORTS by any chance ??

:cheers:

V36 comes as a 2dr coupe too. The 350GT V36 was a 4dr sedan only in late 06-07. The 370GT comes as a coupe or a sedan.

All V36 sedans are auto though. If you want a 6sp manual, you have to go with a coupe.. Unlike the V35 which had a 6sp manual sedan available.

If you were looking at sedans, the 350GT is quite a bit cheaper, as everyone wants the 370 with the bigger engine.

Also keep in mind, the 6sp manual coupe will demand a higher price than an auto.

If you want to import one, look at the recommended importers for the best chance of receiving a quality car with accurate km. For example, iron chef or prestige Motorsport.

If you buy from a small dealer who has already imported and complied the car, you run a very high chance of buying one with wound back km or a repaired write off.

Yes I agree, in my experience, very few importers compliance the car before it is actually sold and for all of my cars I saw at least the auction sheet when I went to inspect the car.

I have also seen in some Sydney car yards, vehicles which are unregistered, but have compliance plates dated over 2 years and 20,000 km ago....

I don't think I'll go the import route on this there seem to be a healthy amount of nicely presented ones for sale onshore already , I'll keep an eye on Iron Chef though , I'm aware of their good rep , never know he may end up sat on one ---.

I'm anticipating a bit of a bun fight finding one anyhoo , as I mentioned before I'm in Hervey Bay for a while and the chance of one turning up here are, optimistically , remote , I'm 3 hours or so drive from Brisbane and a healthy 4 from the GC , neither of which seems to be overflowing with tasty stuff, seems to be long klm and primo prices are the Qld norm

.I'm thinking it may be better to take a break for a week or so come Jan and head for in Sydney to have a looksee there .

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
