Hi all. Fairly long time member, had a few R33 skylines and now have a 2006 V36 Skyline 350GT Type SP. Love the car, crazy power for a sedan and so many features. Have some plans for it (lowering, f

Awesome woodgrain finish mate. Did your car come with it or did you upgrade that too? If so how? I have a very similar one like yours, same color and model, but I havent upgraded the stereo yet. I am planning to put an after market single din in the place of the CD-ROM under the glove box. To put the after market stereo in the front dash I would need to buy a dash trim kit, which I don't really know where to source locally from (sydney) except for ebay.

Woodgrain is a dealer option.

As for the Oem gear I sell it. Can ship to Sydney without issue.

Also, wanted to discuss fuel economy of V35 GT350 2003 model. Can anyone tell me what sort of mileage they are getting? I'm expecting 8km per litre or 12.5L/100km on combined city and highway. Anyone getting better mileage?

My 6sp manual returns between 11.0 and 11.5 L/100km in 100% light city traffic (probably averaging around 40km/h). I have only done one decent highway trip in this car and averaged 7.5L/100km.

And that is resetting the trip meter at fillup and caclucating using fuel volume at the next fill up. I don't have navi to give a km/L reading.

You mean you have OEM dash trim kit with place for after market stereo headunit? How much would that cost? I'm trying to just have blue tooth for streaming music through my BOSE stereo and wondering if there's any other way of doing it besides putting in after market head unit.

Cheers mate!

Hey guys,

Long time reader but first time poster as I got a V35 06 White. I love it, this car is amazing as a cruiser!! I generally drive a lot. I wouldn't say it's the best on fuel however I think it's great for its size.. plus who buys it only for fuel!

I got the premium pack but aftermarket DVD player/Bluetooth etc.

I noticed it had a shift light REV which is cool. My friend has an earlier year model and didn't have it, was this only available from 06 onwards?

Good question.. my 05 6sp has it, I just assumed they all did.. maybe it was just the series 2/3 which have a different speedo cluster to the series 1.

Yeah mine was made 11/2005 and has it. When I first revved - I thought - oh know its got a problem with Reverse gear ! Lol they are a great car- New job in Syd worst traffic has killed the mileage. Driven really smart in light traffic you can get 8.5klm/l and 12.5 on open rd.Mines got some K's after 6&1/2 years and Im still getting very close in good conditions

Just picked up a V36 370 a couple of weeks ago. Finally decided to replace my 4door R32 GTSt. It is the 'S' variant, and very happy with it (apart from the Japanese GPS of course). Shopped around for a bit before buying from Road and Track at Silverwater. Great to deal with, and the car came with de-registration certificate from Japan, giving me some piece of mind as to legitimate kms (apparently a common issue from what I had been reading).

Sorry, only took basic shots at my place with a camera phone. BTW the rear wheels aren't not quite as low as they look; the positioning in my driveway is causing that!

Loving the car, and looking forward to the next Sydney Skyline cruise.

Dat Grille! Although I'm probably a bigger fan of a body colour painted version with unblackened badge, but still that looks sick.

Hey guys,

Im looking for a v35 specs thread. Specifically for the rotor sizes on a 300gt sedan.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I searched . .

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/277476-v35-std-brakes-non-brembo/

Pretty sure this is all accurate info.

Mostly.. I have been down this track myself a while ago..

S1 and S2/3 front pads are definitely different. the S2/3 V35 run a twin piston front calliper, the S1 is a single piston and the brake pads are larger on the S2/3.

Rear pads are the same across all non-brembos, despite the larger rear rotor on the S2/3

I used a late model 350Z rear rotor on my S2 (308mm diameter) and the park brake size was the same.. not sure if it was the smaller or larger size mentioned in the above link, but everything fitted and works fine, so maybe there was a 'changeover' period on the 350z?? as the rear park brake mech on mine is the same as the S1 V35.

From what I could find, only the brembos have a 190MM handbrake.. could be wrong though, info was a bit sketchy. I only know the 05+ rear rotors fit my S2 V35 fine.. including handbrake size.

Cheers mate. The chrome grille was the one aspect of the 36 I didn't like, and this one came with an alternative in the boot (as it appears now). Happy with it; makes it look less 'coporate'.

Not sure if I will keep it black or colour code it with the car. I like black, but it seems to be very common on all cars these days (almost as common as chrome).

Any idea what grille you have? Looks awesome ;)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now.

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
