Hey guys,

thinking of importing a v35 and have seen many common issues regarding them with spark plugs excessive oil dilemma , window, gearbox and annoying noises. I have been told the models after 2005 are upgraded models and the little issues of the older models were fixed. Is there any truth to this claim??

If so I'll look at a 2005 or 06 model.

Cheers

I own a late 2004 V35 and so far, every thing has been working perfectly. No dramas at all, touch wood.

I used to own a Subaru Forester 2005 and the driver's window failed on me too in 3 years. According the forums, it was a common occurrence in Subaru as well. As such, I feel it's inherent in most motor cars, mate, luck of the draw.

they fixed a lot of electrical issues on the 2nd gen ones 3rd gen (2006) they changed again. thing being the radio was an issue in the 01-03. 04 they changed the CD stacker in them and from there they updated the locks and window gear as well.

your idea of buying a later car is valid. buy a 2006 if you can afford one. forget about the frilly radio/navi. buy the car for the car.

To be honest the nav/radio never came into my mind. The car is what I want. So I'm guessing 2006 it is then.

Besides the electrical what's with this spark plug oil thing that I have been reading in another thread titled "changed my spark plugs"

something about leaking oil around the spark plugs is common in v35's anyone care to share more info.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
