Hi,

I am quite interested in the new NA Skylines. I have seen them for sale on Prestige and Jspec Imports and I reckon they look good.

Are there any post 2002 Skyline owners here on this forum, and what are your impressions of the car. How does the car feel on the road? Interested to know its performance as well, in terms of acceleration and handling. Does the car feel front heavy? etc. I would assume it is very similar to the 350z we have here in Australia.

I have not seen any on the road yet. I think they are fairly new on the list of cars that can be imported. Are there and compliance workshops in Victoria and how much will the compliancing cost?

Thanks,

Jon

Thanks for pointing that out.

I think I may have made a mistake in my enquiry. The car we are interested in is called a Skyline in Japan. Maybe it is G35? The shape of the car is very similar to a 350z. It has a 3.5L V6 NA engine I think. They were manufactured and sold after the R34 sized production.

Japan V35 = USA G35

350GT is the best version of the V35. Comes in both coupe and sedan form. Has the VQ35DE found in the 350Z.

You're thinking of the GTR-Proto, not the V35.

Werd. Also, I believe the new GTR proto is using a brand new chassis & not a skyline, I don't think using the V35 would be a good platform for the GTR marquee anyway.

Jimbos V35 was vandalised not too long ago, on a friday hehehehe....

:laugh: LMAO, mate it wasn't vandalised, the boys in the NSW forum have this thing called TGIF(Thank God It's Friday) where they try & trick everyone by making threads where their cars get vandalised or they have a crash etc.

Here, read this & you'll get the picture...

I've driven an auto 350GT coupe, and I quite like it.

Its a lot softer than the 350Z, but at the same time its a lot more plush and quiet. And has rear seats. A great place to be in when you're tooling around town, or giving it a squirt on the motorway.

We were looking for a manual one, but before commiting ourselves to a purchase, we wanted to find out more about the car. it is not a very popular car compared to the R34s. I guess it is kind of an expensive car to modify. I think APS has a force induction kit for it. Probably cost an arm and a leg though.

The 350Z powertrain parts will fit a V35. Because the wheelbase is a bit longer, the catback exhausts won't fit but everything else pretty much will.

The engine isn't exactly the same as the 350Z's in terms of the ancillaries (the intake is a little different, from what I've been told) but it'd cost almost nothing to get them up to the same level.

Pretty sure most suspension bits will also fit.

Its not that its not a very popular car, its just that few people have been able to compliance them until recently. Now that they can, a lot of importers are rushing to bring the car in.

That brings me to net question. I was wondering where I can get these cars complianced. I remember there was a website on Dotars which gives infomation on where compliance workshops, but I could not find it again. It was bookmarked but lost it now.

Well, at least getting replacement parts will not be a problem since the 350z and V35s share alot of parts. No doubt Nissan will charge alot for them though.

Hi Jon,

We can assist you with compliance on the V35's.

We have imported a number of them now, including my own V35 GT-8 4 door.

Drop me a pm if you would like any further information

Regards,

Steve

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
