i've moved over to the US now and the next best thing on the roads over here to the Hummer H2 has got to be the G35 Skyline. it is farken sex on wheels.......nissan australia, you suck!!!!!!!!!!

I agree totally.

Some think it's ugly(fair enough each to their own) and looks too much like a 350Z.

But to me they are appealing and I'm waiting to get a V35 as soon as someone can comply one.

Look on this site gallery and forum for heaps of pics

The Hummer H1 is too milatary! the H2 is civilian and its soo tuff :( The H3 is even more civilian and less thirsty! my friend was telling me that he saw a H2 on the freeway (whilst it was at a standstill) and the owner was filling it up with petrol with a jerry can hahahaha...

i see them all the time, no pics as yet, but i'll try and take my camera out more often now. not many nice rides in Charleston, SC when i get up to NY it might be different, but there are plenty of trucks down here. also saw a turbo Z. front number plates are not necessary here.

never driven one, but going from the Z, they go well! :(

I just got back from Canada, the G35 is very popular over there. I haven't really thought much of the pictures I've seen though my opinion has changed now that I have seen them in person. They rock. I would love one of the coupes. The do a 14 second quarter. Most I saw had brembo brakes and were luxurious. Same sort of price as the 350z so not super expensive.

Yes Nissan Australia does suck although we are lucky that we got the 200sx and 350z.

As an owner l can tell you they are great car's. As for the looks, it's a matter of personal tastes, but they are so much better in the flesh. l've covered over a 100k miles in a R33 and R34 and the v35 is just as much fun. For an extra £6k sterling you can fit a S/C (0-60 = 4.7sec with 320rwh) and rework the suspension and you will shock a stage 1 R. I hope you get them overthere soon and you will see exactly what I mean.

What I don't get is that me and other Japan residents have been saying the V35 Skyline was an excellent car (as opposed to the 'naysayers' on here - just by looking at pics ffs) for years and now suddenly it takes some dude to go to the US then post up "the G35 rawks yo!" then all you guys jump on the bandwagon...

Bovine poo poo.

Bovine poo poo.

oooh look at me!!!

rezz, just because you live in japan doesn't mean you hot poo poo...

lets get some facts straight first:

1. whats a "naysayer"

2. im a proud australian who has relocated to the US for 18 months, who has been an active sau member for quite some time. i've only been a "dude who's been in the states" for 2 months who has only bothered to post because i see soo many of them here compared to when i was in Oz and wanted a simple discussion.

3. the first time i ever really 'took notice' of the g35 was when i sat in one back in jan 2003 when doing TAS03. below is a picture i took of a mate i was with at the nissan gallery in Ginza.

looks, here i am taking a photo of my friend IN a G35....*gasp*

and here's another:

and heres another, though not very relevant:

Img_6161.jpg

wow, they even have nissan car models!

Img_6114.jpg

here we are all squeezed into a nissan micro car!

4. what is bovine poo poo?

5. stop thinking you're hot poo poo because you live in Japan.

6. this is a thread about the g35 why are you going off topic and talking about yourself?

regards,

franky (some dude in the US who apparently doesn't take notice of rezz in japan who knows everything about japanese cars and japanese fads and everything about japanese car cultures that no aussie, let alone some US dude, knows anything about or is 5 years behind who is nowhere near up to date with rezz and his japanese car culture )

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
