now now....don't hang crap on us sedan owners....

depending on how u wanna pimp ur ride, sedans make better VIP cruisers....

plus, not everyone can afford a coupe...although i have spent the equivalent amount in mods on my sedan to get me my VIP look...

but then again, give me another go at buying a V35, and I'll still be opting for a sedan....LOL...

To be fair, some of the sedans that SAU members own are pretty sweet looking rides :)

RESPECT

Personally I think the Coupes are great and if I wanted another 2 door car I would have got one however I wanted a bigger car and opted for the Sedan which I love.

For the money you get quite a luxurious car which with the right aesthetic mods can look very agressive and sporty.

Yes yes I know sometimes its commonly mistaken for a Maxima but thas only by people who dont know their ass from their head! This is a favourite jab by my friends.

Put a maxima against a v35 Sedan and their is no comparison.

"I can't believe that they are badged as a skyline..." :action-smiley-069:

What should they be badged, they are a 4 door skyline as with previous model skylines??? I dont get it!

Just depends what you are after!

thanks for the support guys....

for a minute there, i thought i was gonna be the only one pushing sh*t uphill....LOL

kidding, kidding....I chose a sedan becos I needed the convenience of 4 doors, kinda grown outta the 2 door coupe market segment...signs of age, i guess....but then again, if i could buy an M3, that changes everything...hehe

+1 a lot of live for the 4 doors in here. Personally wouldn't mind either it's each to their own just like every other car out there. For those that think they are ugly should probably try n lose that tunnel vision of yours. Maybe owners of each should just post pics of their v in here and let the op make up his own mind.

I wanted a sedan for a long long time before buying a coupe, but not because I thought the sedan was ugly! Some of the guys over at G35 Driver have sedans which look absolutely stunning - VIP style, clean, athletic etc. A couple of members here have some real beauties, N15MO's lakeshore slate and GoldV35's cars are mint looking too. I eventually opted for the coupe because it was easier to get one with more features (curtain + side airbags, non-CVT, sun roof etc., leather & suede interior as opposed to cloth on most S2 sedans). Might be worthwhile thinking about the resale value too when making your choice.

As for handling maybe someone else is more qualified to speak on any difference in the spring set up of the coupe as opposed to a sedan.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
