スカイライン - Japanese for Renault powered Datsun

Which skyline is powered by a Renault engine?? the VQ is a Nissan engine (although Renault are now using it in some of their cars too).. the RB is an nissan engine..

Whoops, other way around.

Hahah thanks all for the warm welcome!

Mixing the 2 cars up is definitely facepalm worthy!

I've found the fb group and have joined up. Look forward to meeting some of you out there!

I've seen heaps of 350s around and am yet to see any 370s!

Ladies and Gents

Real name is Vadim, long time member (altho not active) and long time S14a 200sx owner, 10+ years now. Just bought a 2003 V35 250GT as a daily driver... Other than that, I'm a bit of an amateur weekend detailer and love working on my own cars, both cleaning and regualr maintenance

Hi there, I decided to go for a bit of change I swapped my R32 GT-R for a very clean pearl white 12/04 V35 4 door. I'm very happy with it. Its got full black leather seats, keyless start. And its got the 3.5 in it. I would like to go on the Perth V curies, when do you have them.

I don't remember if I introduced myself or not. But I am Marcus and I bought my brother an 2005 250GT sedan a few years back. Love the car, its so smooth and quiet. Has just enough grunt for a P plater.

350gt's have even better grunt for a p plater! unless your in NSW :P then your unlucky.

Thank you Sean,

It sits a bit lower than the photos now as well.

As for mods:

I've got all the basic NA mods, plenum spacers, HFC's, intake etc etc etc. It pulled around 230kw at the flywheel with all the mods on a dynopack.

Next step would be to tune it via OSIRIS , turbo or supercharge it, but I'm not going down that road as I'm thinking about selling it soon.

I've got to say as well, I installed all the mods after getting the car, the car was a basic blank canvas for me when I imported it...stock standard with even the standard 17 inch alloys.

Hi All, any help regarding DD conversion would be great at this point this is what I'm going with....

Metra 70-7550- Wiring harness? Or PAC ROEM-NIS2 - Not sure which one I need?

JDM DD Facia - http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-INFINITI-NISSAN-SKYLINE-G35-DOUBLE-DIN-DASH-KIT-IN-SILVER-WITH-AC-CONTROL-/230969689151?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AG35&hash=item35c6ddc43f&vxp=mtr

and the Ca-Fi Dashlinq (Unless anyone can give me any other great alternatives??)

Nissan Antenna Adapter

Is there anything else I really need to do the conversion? I mean I intend to get Tonkins here in S.A to install it, but is there anything I've missed other than the wiring harness? the JDM unit comes with the A/C controller.

Let me know what you think,

Hey guys,

Thought I'd introduce myself here. Just recently bought a 2003 V35 in black for a bargain. There still has some work to do to it before it becomes road worthy, but I have a long list of modifications to go through over the next year or so - this is only the start!

Just wondering, where have people gotten their exterior body kits/lips from? Trying to source out various parts, such as INVEN front bumper and IMPUL side skirts and having some difficulty sourcing it out from reliable sellers.

    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
