Is it possible to do a manual swap to a 2005 v35 sedan from a 2003 v35 coupe. 

I understand the centre console needs to be modified for handbrake, I plan to use a hydro as its for a drift car. 

I understand there are tailshaft mods that need to be done, I already talked to a shop and they believe can just modify the front half of the shaft with the 2005 v35s since they didn't run rubber couplings. 

The part I'm unsure about is tricking the auto ecu into running in neutral mode, if the cross member from a v35 coupe will fit a sedan for the conversion. 

Any help and advice is much appreciated thank you.

Also is the 2003 v35 coupe fuel tank the same as a 2005 fuel tank?

coupe vs sedan Fuel tank is different.

Coupe vs sedan Front cross member is different (not sure how but part numbers are different)

Transmission mount is different between auto 5AT and 6MT. (6MT same as CVT)

No idea how to make the ECU happy..

So glad I just went ahead and did it instead of listening to the internet. 

For anyone else wondering. 

Today I swapped out a rusty V35 sedan fuel tank (350gt 2005) with a tank from a 2003 v35 coupe. 

100 percent the same, I see amayama has two different part numbers that bit I'm not sure why. 

The only difference i found was the tube inside the tank which sucks from the other side of the saddle doesnt suit the sedan fuel pump assembly.

I just cut it off, and replaced it with fuel rated 3/8th hose and fit perfect with two hose clamps. 

Thats all that was needed, beat paying nissan $1500 for a new fuel tank.

So 100% the same except for the bits that are different? :)

I suspect the part numbers are different because of the difference?

The difference isn't in the fuel tank, rather the fuel pump lines. 

Thanks for the correction even though you apparently (due to your previous "advice") don't know what your talking about. 

For those playing at home, the 2003 coupe used a barb and clamp to retain tbe hose. Whilst my 2005 sedan uses push locks. 

All I did was adapt the hose to push lock fitting. 

Job done.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
