Hey guys first time poster,

For the past few months I had picked up a 2006 350gt Type SP and i have enjoyed it so far and loving the performance.

What I've done since I got the car

  • Replaced all internal bulbs ( as when I got it all of them were missing )
  • Tinted the taillights ( Image attached before and after )
  • Fixed the left rear window as It wouldn't go down ( replaced window regulator as quite common issue on these car )
  • Fixed the reverse camera as it wouldn't come in at all ( took me ages going through forum post, turned out that someone unplugged the camera connector cable on the left side of the boot )
  •  Regassed the hood struts as it wouldn't stay up 

I have been lurking this forum a lot and was wanting to do a bit of mods to the car to increase performance and sound.

I think base HP for this model is 305-315

The engine in this is a VQ35HR where's many posts suggest they are in 2007+ cars which is weird.

I have a list of mods/parts but was wanting to ask you guys if im going down the right track in terms of this as im not a mechanic but wanted to learn on how to install these things for further knowledge etc.

Using the Conceptz website has a chart for compatible for the car etc which starts with 2007 and was unsure if these parts will fit with my car.

Any suggestions would be appreciated or parts to add etc or just some general advise

It is a V36 sedan, which started mid 2006, the V36 coupe didn't come out until 2007.  So anything that suits the V36 (2007+ G35) should be ok.

just keep in mind the G35 is LHD, the V36 is RHD, all of the items you listed above should be fine, but if you start looking at headlights or headers, you can run into trouble.

Nice car mate 👌 I have a 2007 that I have done a fair bit to so if you have any questions shoot me a message

 

I used to have the gen 3 intakes. They look & sound nice but keep in mind you’ll get the same performance benefit from high performance drop in filters for half the cost.

 

Looks like you’re pricing is in usd as well & shipping from the US is an absolute outrage at the moment.  gktech in Australia have just released a long tube intake so it may be more economical to buy from there.

 

I'd be keen to hear your feedback on the English conversion as well 👍 It’s a good price but I’ve heard it only converts the menu’s & you won’t have working maps but not too certain. 
 

Looks like you have a great base there for an awesome build. Good luck down the rabbit hole man 😁

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
