I dont own one, but I have driven one and they are a fantastic car to drive.

The 8-speed paddle shift transmission is awesome

[funkymonkey]

nice extractors, a good exhaust and an 8 speed paddle shift on the CVT, will have you feeling like you're driving an F1 car (just the way it sound when goin thru the gears).

Once they get to that sweet spot, the CVT just maintains it, and the car keeps pulling and pulling and pulling... when you put your foot down it's always at the optimal RPM.

Sooo awesome to drive... shame they don't do em in a coupe... I'd be tempted to buy a 350GT coupe if it came in a GT8 spec.

[Wink]

If only they put the 8-speed in the coupe...

[funkymonkey]

they don't look tooo bad with a kit on though... or if they're in a nice colour instead of silver and refrigerator white

but yeah... paddle shifters rock

wonder if you can transplant the whole thing into a coupe?

[N1GTR]

The screen is HAWT

[Beer Baron]

been thinking about buying one lately. but the one thing putting me off for the moment (apart from how they look) is the fear that no-one is going to know WTF to do when I bust the 8 speed CVT box, and when I find someone that does know it's going to cost mega $$$$ to fix.

[sh@un]

Why stop at 8-speeds?

It's CVT- they could've programmed in 13 step points if they wanted

The 4 doors just look soooo 'meh' compared to the coupes

Nissan obviously needed to add some incentive for people looking to choose this sedan over the myriad of others

[GoldZilla]

V35s look a bit "narrow" in my opinion, and the sedan shell makes it look even more so.

With the coupe, if you choose the right wheels and bodykit, and lower it the right amount, you can make it look a lot wider and phatter/fatter. Haven't seen a kit/wheel/suspension combo on a sedan *yet* that does the same...

How about this one

Gialla kit:

[GoldZilla]

nah, james - kit is too overboard for my liking, and I'll pass on the chromies too.

i like the whole "subtle aggression" look - either that or stealth!

Imagine it black, without the spoiler and with these rims:

Sex.

Thinking about it, it would be VERY affordable too.

$20k to import the sedan and $10k for kit + tyres + rims for a sexlexic VIP sedan.

[GoldZilla]

yep, getting closer...

i'm trying to find more pics to show my line of thinking (even some of the ones that you've posted previously)

[Marsss]

How about this one

Gialla kit:

Hahahah! YALLA kit uleeeeeh!

[GoldZilla]

Like these...

Now, if there's a kit that can make the sedans look THIS good, then I'll start saving!

[GTRgeoff]

Oh yeah, time for new pants. Just messed these ones Black, deep dish and a kit but the wife wants CVT8 so sedan it is. One step closer. The black 33 went in for panel and paint yesterday ready to sell.

Rich, stop stalking my favourite types of cars. Meh, at least you don't have a Lynx

[Jimbo2000]

Thats the same opinion I have heard from some of my mates they took one look at the V35 and said is simply a maxima been cut down in size.

I dont mind the look of them but I prefer the original shape skylines R32->R34.

Guys,

I'm biting the bullet and trading up my GTS25T for a GT-8. This should happen in the next few weeks. Basically, I'm doing a lot of commuting now and am after an easy car to drive with better economy and hopefully some retained fun factor. I know I'll alway love and miss my R33 turbo. But cars get old and things need to change from time to time!

Standby for full report then.

I'm interested in getting the WALD bodykit for it.

Check it out....
