Is there any way to tell if they are premium by the VIN number?

Seems like it would be a more reliable way of working it out

Pretty sure you can run VIN trough Nissan FAST and see what options it came with

this will not deter every dealer telling that every V35 they sell is premium :)

Ok thanks..that's what I thought...don't know about the Brembo brakes though because I though they phased those out after Series 1. Oh well, will know in 2 weeks time when the car arrives.

From what i know the 19 inch wheels came on the sport model, which had the LSD and Brembo brakes but i could be wrong.

Just wondering does series 3 have different criteria to distinguish premiums and non premiums?

I have leather/suede seats

Dual climate

Auto lights with bi-xenons (standard on all 2006 models)

Steering control

However I'm not sure whether it has a Bose stereo or not. The centre console is different to previous models and there the MD player is, it says MD ---(something) instead of Bose... The sound system in the car is quite good. Can any other 06 model owners verify this?

Also someone mentioned 06 premium models have sunroof and keyless engine start, but i thought they were only for US models.

Thanks

I have a series three also (dec '05), If you open up the glove box where the Nav DVD thing is you should see a bluetooth logo.

From what I remember if it has bluetooth it is a premium series 3. Mine has the 19's, half leather and steering controls, bi-xenon, dual climate but no bose. Unless it actually says Bose on the MD player then its not. Not sure about LSD etc. After the first couple of years almost everything seemed to be factory options etc so it just got hard to tell. But i'm fairly certain that if it has Bluetooth, its a premium.

Thanks for the reply. Mine has the bluetooth logo and the Bluetooth button on both the centre console and the steering wheel. 6 disc cd changer but no Bose on the MD player.

If it is a premium doesn't it come with the Bose stereo?

If you have a manual + I think rays 19 inch factory wheels then u are likely to have LSD

Hey guys,

Just been reading through here trying to figure out just what spec it is that I have. I think on the first page it was listed; I have the head deck with the flip-out (rather than the dash mounted "pop-out") screen with the DVD ROM built into the deck rather than above the glove box. I tried (and succeeded) in playing regular DVDs on it also.

I've been told from Xanavi Australia that this series system cannot be translated from Japanese to English either (wrong thread, I know).

So I'm just wondering what sort of package I have. It's a 2003 350 GT.

Thanks.

I'm guessing yours is already moddified

It must be pretty picky with DVDs also. I just tried with another DVD and it wouldn't play. How do you mean modified, man?

if your trying to play DVD's on it, remember that Japan's DVD region is completly diffrent to ours. so unless you have a region free disc, or a REGION 2 DVD. it probably wont play :)

Premium comes with dual climate control and bose sound system. I'm not too sure if heated seats are an option on the premium though.

Mine is premium and it didn't come with any Brembo's (common misconception for premium model).

Its from the Auction....... the people who bidded on this car for me at the auction told me it premium model cause its got 18s and comes with half leather..... but i never trust them from what they say.

From what I have found, the only 'premium only' feature on the S2 Sedans is the Bose audio. everything else can be optioned on the non-premium model. I have a non-premium, but have dual zone climate control and steering wheel audio controls.

I think the coupe premium also got leather seats, but again, that may have been an option on the 'non premium'

So i have seen alot of arguments about premium, the real issue here is working out what ones have a LSD in them when looking on the auctions, im in the process of working out if its worth getting a manual with brembo/LSD and turbo kiting it or just doing it to my 5AT that i have now, any ideas on how to pick the "track" spec out with the LSD would be great.

  1. You can identify this so long as you get the 6 digit model number (i.e. the CPV35 - xxxxxx) from the auction sheet.
  2. Use this link to input in the 6 digit number (in the following format CPV35-XXXXXX) in in order to get the Nissan Fast 18 digit code. http://jpcenter.ru/month
  3. If the 17th digit of the Nissan Fast code (second last) is a D, then you have LSD. If it is a dash, no LSD.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
