Old thread I know but I thought I'd post a reply in case any V35 owner is still interested. This is a dashmat I got for my Stag M35 Series 2 which should fit a later (Series 2,3 ?) V35 Skyline as well. It might also fit a Series 1.

I got it from a US company called Dash Designs. Basically it's a 2005 Infiniti G35 dash cover custom made for right hand drive. I took a punt buying it as the G35 is essentially a left hand drive Skyline V35 and the V35 appears to have the same dash as the Stagea. Well, it fits perfectly, which means the V35 and M35 dash's must be identical. It has a cut-out for the auto headlight sensor but it doesn't have one for the passenger side sensor, which I'm not sure if it is a sensor at all. I also need to confirm that it doesn't affect the passenger airbag (It's really lightweight so I guess it wouldn't). The lump above the clock is a sensor (ETC?) of some sort which I hope to remove once I know it's not important. The mat is not stuck down at the moment. The small separate piece over the instrument binnacle definitely needs some velcro to hold it in place.

What I'm not sure of is whether it will fit a Series 1 M35 or V35 given they have a different clock surround and binnacle surround to the Series 2. The earlier model G35 in the US has an analogue clock below the climate control display so it would look odd.

Anyway the company was really helpful, they have many different fabrics and colours and can also embroid a logo or word on it. My one is a perforated suede look which ties in perfectly with the perforated leather seats and door trim.

Cheers

I actually ordered two - one in a different fabric (Dash tex, which is like a weave). One was $65 and the other $51 (don't know which was which) and postage/handling was $40 all in USD so it actually came in a few dollars cheaper in AUD. The embroidery can be done for around $11 located on the passenger side in any colour. There is also a velour (slightly cheaper) and a brushed suede which I reckon would go great with the black half leather trim some V35s have.

I would be happy to enquire about a group buy if there was any interest.

What I would really like to know is whether it will suit the earlier M//V35s. If anyone in the Canberra region with a Series 1 wants to try it, I would be happy to meet up.

The main reason I got it was to stop the vinyl sweating and filming up on the windscreen all the time.

Cheers

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
