Hi All,

Just purchased a 2012 V36 sedan and eagerly awaiting her arrival. I have a question surrounding compliance requirements in particular the need for an immobiliser, I am under the impression that given the cars age there should be some sort of factory fitted immobiliser, however whether this is to AUS std I am uncertain. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Josh

Greetings :action-smiley-069:, finally joined this site after checking it on-and-off after getting my White Pearl 2003 V35 Skyline Coupe 350-GT nearly a year ago. It's got the premium pack, factory Momo steering wheel and Brembos, and the original Japanese owner apparently installed a Hasemi Sport carbonfibre spoiler and bilstein shocks from a Z. Given it Nismo clear front indicators (looks so much better than stock), pulled out the Bose Deck and put a Pioneer 2DIN in (still with the 8 Bose speakers, they sound awesome as it is) and otherwise, the only work I've had to do was replace the motors for the door locks. All up, nothing but joy. Hopefully I'll have pics up soon.

What up people I'm Greaver and I have just taken delivery of my first V35

Had a red R33 Coupe which I still use for bashes to the shops so I have lurked these forums for some time but I have just taken the plunge after finding a tidy 2001 V35 with all the options for a very reasonable price that is just off 150ks

Car is meant to be for the missus but its grown on me very quickly, smooth performance and everything is really responsive (aside from he brakes, new rotors ahoy) so I am stoked.

The plan is to drop it a little on some of these when I get the time to sort the offsets (I have heard standard 350z springs give a 1 inch drop?)

But yeah nice to meet you all, I have a feeling I will get a later model for myself for my next car : )

OK Guys, good to be here as the newest of the Newbies (not that those who know me would say there's much else about me that's new). Been following the Forum since the start of the year when I bought my 7/09 GT37 sedan. Great car! Came with low kms on the clock, low 20,000's, but I'm sure 50,000 would be nearer the mark. I suspect the first owner in Japan was smart and did some clocking before having his 2 year checks, so the De-Reg Certificate generally supports the car's odo in Oz. Anyway, I want to ask for some help. I need a thoroughly reliable, honest and capable service guy in the Hawthorn/Camberwell area to keep the car up to scratch for me starting as of now. Preferably an experienced guy who has a fair sprinkling of Jap Skylines in his "stable". Any/all suggestions gratefully considered. Thanks very much, and cheers to all.

So finally received my 2012 V36, I must say very impressed with the overall feel of the vehicle, smooth yet enough kick to keep you entertained. Had the headlight chrome painted satin black leaving the shrouds chrome and twin CCFL rings installed while they were open. Also installed some swift springs which I must say retain almost all OEM ride quality while providing a subtle drop.

Here is a front shot, will post some before and after drop shots if anyone is interested....

I belive compliance is available for V36's manufactured up untill December 2012, from then Infiniti has retain sale rights within Australia, I don't believe the G37 was ever offered in Aus (may be wrong). This was an October 2012 so just snuck in with arround 10,000km it feels like its just rolled out of the show room, couldn't be happier!

the G37 was definitly sold here by Infiniti, but only the coupe and convertable, the Sedan wasn't, only the M sedan was. They have now all been replaced with the Q series, Q50 is the G37 Sedan replacement, and the Q60 is the coupe replacement. (Q70 is the M replacement).

Hi guys this is my first post.

Just bought myself a 2006 gt350 sedan and thought I'd sign up here and share.

Bought my new "family sedan" from road and track at silver water Sydney. Had it a few days and it developed a strange random surging issue that came out of nowhere. So back it went and I went home with a loan car (also a skyline). So far can't fault their service just hope they can fix the problem.

When I pick it up I'll endeavor to post some pics but would really like some advice on who to take it to for performance upgrades and mods.

Thanks guys and girls.

P.s. I'm around the hawkesbury area outside of Sydney if anyone else is local.

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
