New 350gt Owner, Thought I'd Say Hi


Recommended Posts

Hey, my name is Andy and I bought a 350GT accouple of weeks back. Just saying hello and looking for other members who own this car, looking at swapping info etc. Mines a 2003 premium coupe with Nismo exhaust, rear wing, 19's and accouple of other goodies. Will get some pics soon.

Could I ask, what is everyone average fuel consumption? I use 98 RON fuel and it seems to vary quite a bit.

Also, has anyone ever had any luck converting the DVD/sat nav to AU standard? I know its probably a stretch but just checking.

Have a good one.

Nice. Try the "Next Skyline" subforum, but as the cars are quite new in Australia there aren't too many owners. You'd be just as well off finding a US-based G35 forum for information. I moderate the Australian section of 350Z-Tech, which has a strong Australian contingent of 350Z / V35 owners as well as being a US-based site. Some solid info on the cars on there, since the Z33 and V35 share platforms.

See here. Looks like the answer is "no".

I average about 8km per litre in city driving and 10.5km per litre on the freeway. With a 75 litre tank that can get alittle exxy but we'll see, I thought 350Z's has better economy (considering they are essentially the same mechanicall).

Thanks for the info, will be joining 350Z tech.

Yeah, fuel consumption shocked me at first. Now it's around 7km per litre. I think it's way to much for my car, but not sure what is wrong. Had ECU remapped and didn't really help.

I thought the consumption was fantastic! I get 9L /100km. Compared to my previous car, Lexus LS430 which used 11.5/100km.

I've tried almost everything to convert it over, even tried the uncontactable xanavi informatics company who make the DVD Navigation software for the Nissan Skyline V35 / Infiniti G35 coupe. Apparently Australia is too insignificant compared to the rest of the world.

xanavi.co.jp - All these guys need to do is supply a Australian version of the navigation software and we're done! but they're as holes. :)

There's one guy I know in petersham that can do a conversion, however it means that you can only use the pop up screen as just that, the original DVD player in the dash will need to be replaced with another chinese version which plays DVD's and the nav software. But he charges around $1500+

If anyone can help! it would be fantastic!

Hey andy, always good to meet another 35 owner.

I've done alot of research into the dvd sat/ nav myself and always come up dry. The best thing I've found is the following convertor which is required if you wish to use the screen for anything.

nav convertor

Also guys, could anyone who's interested in a v35 specific section of the forum chuck there two cents in here

v35 specific forum post

would be a good place to share info and v35 specific resources

No don't do that. It's not a new car anymore by any standard, and the V36 is out in numbers in Japan so in the General Skyline section it stays.

I realise I quoted an old post, but from now on, V35 threads posted in 'The Next Skyline' will be moved to General Skyline section.

it's funny they still call it "the next skyline" when in fact they've been around for 6 years and are still the current model.

The should rename this forum the dinosaur skyline.

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
