Hey all,

I recently became the proud new owner of a 2007 Nissan V36 Skyline 350GT Type SP 50th Anniversary Edition :woot:

For those of you SAU members who are interested in V36 Skyline's (or who followed my story of importing a V35 Skyline to Australia) I have updated my blog and will continue to post on there about this particularly special vehicle and what changes I have made to the process of importing a vehicle from Japan, the second time round.

If you have any questions, or suggestions for the blog - You're welcome to post here or pm me and I'd love to hear!

PS: I always endeavor to ensure the information I post on my blog is accurate (re: vehicle specifications / options etc) - If you find any mistakes, could you please let me know and I will update accordingly :)

For more information and photos visit - www.v35skyline.com :yes:

just noticed it says type sp but howcome it has the type p front bar? very clean interior how many k's?

Very interesting question - I completely forgot to list it on my blog!

My V36 Skyline came with this front bar from the factory - and it does not fall into the traditional Type S, Type P or Type SP packages...

This bar is actually from the V36 Skyline 250GT and I believe it's the only one designed to fit the radar for the cruise control system... Have a look at the photo below for a better view. I've only seen this front bar on one other V36 Skyline 350GT in Australia... Pretty cool hey :)

I saw a V36 sedan here in Adelaide the other week with that same cutout and was wondering what it was. I can't remember whether it was an SP or normal bar though.

In addition I was looking at SP's with factory cruise and they had the normal front bumper with the laser range finder mounted next to where the foglight should be. One of them was a 50th Anniversary version like yours with the red leather and factory cruise.

Having spent months looking for factory cruise gave up, bought the best car that I could afford, and just fitted the cruise once it was in AUS.. Also means that it works above 110km/h indicated, which on my car is about 102 according to Tom/Garmin...

It doesn't have the big brakes, was this not on the 4door SP's?

There is so little 'solid and thorough' information on V36 Sedan package differences on the web it's not funny... I know of a few pages that will always be posted and provide the same basic information.

But a depository of the exact features included on the Base 350GT, Type S, Type P and Type SP... in addition to the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition... and all the factory options available from Nissan for the V36 Skyline Sedan... <<< To have all of this information (and be it true and correct) in the once place would be a god send...

Until this happens, I'm going to continue my search for V36 Sedan info and build up my own collection of 'Package differences' on my blog @ www.v35skyline.com

I does have the big brakes, with the twin pot sliding calipers, but not the huge brakes with the 4 pot calipers.

There was the standard "small" brakes with the single pot set up as fitted to the P.

So are you suggesting that it's rare for a PV36 Type SP to have a Type P bar with a the radar module?

I have no idea how this all works (from the factory)... I wish I knew how this all played out from new (in 2007).

Or if someone has access to an original Japanese Nissan Skyline brochure from this era...

Im just saying its rare for the SP to not have a SP front bar as according to NISSAN the SP bars are designed different as to cool the brakes under intense spirited driving :) not sure if it matters tho...

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
