Seeing as how I've sold off my old cars I will officially introduce myself as I'm the proud new owner of a 2007 Skyline V36 370GT SP. Big thanks to IMG motorsport in sydney for helping me and also letting me sit in their R35's

This car is awesome, I've had a 350z prior and the build quality of this car is leap years ahead. 0-100km/h in a blink. Side mirror and reversing camera, hard drive to record video and music for playback, tv and satnav(working on getting it working in oz) even a joystick on the left side of the steering column to let you adjust the steering wheel up down and in and out.

Just a shame I couldn't hold out for the manual version, my new job means I travel a lot so An auto isn't so bad for that.

19" wheels, Sticky Potenza rubber and massive brakes

If you see me driving around give me a wave

Cheers,

PJ

Full Exhaust, extractors but keep it all quiet as possible

High flow panel filters

Wow. you're the first person that i even remotely know that has one of these cars. Very nice buy...im somewhat jealous. :)

Its kinda funny how you had a r34 skyline and a 350z and now you have this, its like a merge of the 2 old cars. a 350z platform like car with the skyline name and backseats.

Looks very comfy.

Thanks Guys :P

the engine is stupidly effortless. You can be cruising along in 60 and not hear a thing and the engine becomes a screaming banshee when you plant your foot down, difference from my last cars was the majority of the noise came from the exhaust. The sounds coming from this car is all engine. Fark imagine when I put a full exhaust in!

Criticism would be the weight of the car, definitely more a car for the older japanese business man who still wants to mix it up on the wangan if the mood takes him, turn in is nowhere near as crisp as my old r34/350z and you can feel the weight pull through when you take a corner hard, but in true skyline fashion it makes up for this by predictable/manageable handling.

I've been playing around with the function display (all in Japanese) and the reversing camera will actually trace a line on screen depending on your steering angle to help judge where the car will go and also does this with a camera integrated into the left side vision mirror so you can avoid wheel scrapes

Even the paddle shifters have leather on them.

I thought the 350z was a century in front of the r34 interior wise, the v36 puts the 350z interior to shame and them mocks it's inadequacy.

All in all very happy with it so far, and I'd better be too as this will be my last car for a long time :D

Thanks again,

PJ

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      By cardre · Posted

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      Dual exhaust questions

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      Dual exhaust questions

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
