Hi Guys, Looking At 350gts.

Hey all, I'm currently looking at a V35 350GT for my next car so I thought I might jump in on the community beforehand.

I already know that they share most, if not all their parts with the 350Z so I'm not concerned too much about servicing and running costs.

I'd just like to know if there's anything other than the usual inspection necessities that I should be looking out for on these particular cars? And is there anywhere that I can easily source an 'English-ising' kit for the satnav/tv screen and the buttons on the centre console? As I'm aware a few of them are in Japanese.

Sorry if these questions have all been answered already I'm posting this from my iPhone and it's a bit hard to browse normally.

Peace! :blink:

I just helped my mate get a beautiful 350GT through Autoworx. The biggest thing i've been advised to check with these is the electrics, they are on some sort of computer bus and adding or taking ANYTHING from it can cause problems (audio, alarm etc).

As for the satnav/tv there is apparently a dude in Vic park in Perth which can swap it over to a dvd player for $250 or something, one of the V35 guys may know better depending on state etc. (don't know where you are located)

Swapping it over to English wouldn't really be worth it I dont think because you wont get TV or Satnav anyways as they are programmed to Jap satellites etc.

All of the above is second hand knowledge so I'm not sure as to how correct it is but they are a very nice car judging by my mates.. (also I recommend manual not sure if the 350GT model comes in tiptronic or CVT but I've heard CVT can have problems and costs a fortune to fix).

cheers,

Steve

Got mine from Fabcar. They got lots of options for V35.

I reckon they are abit pricy than other dealers but they got good warranty package and will back the customer up if something goes wrong with their cars.

one thing to watch - ELECTRICS!!

second thing: if you are buying the car for toys - buy something else.

if you are in QLD then I rework the navi/TV systems. search my name on here for more info.

have your wallet out as this is NOT a cheap exercise.

haha no no nobody has scared me off .. I didn't think I'd get so many replies so quickly.

Chris is it possible to run an aftermarket head unit that can output display to the OEM screen? I'd have thought that would be the simplest solution if it wasn't a simple flashing of the software.

I've seen some examples of the buttons in english so I'm not too concerned about sourcing those. Still very keen to test one out tbh, they weren't even on my list until a few days ago .. saw a few around my area, they seem to be becoming more popular lately.

Ok so I managed to drive one today ... they're so much smoother and quieter than 350Z, the inside is a lot nicer too - I didn't manage to get the drivers seat setup to my liking though, I'm 6'2" and I felt like I was sitting quite high up, but my gf in the passenger seat was quite comfortable and low, I don't think I got the hang of the electric controls. :-(

I do like the engine though ... it's really refined and responsive when you get it a boot ... the place I went to test this car had already fitted a new GPS setup and Australianised the controls and menus, but it had too many KM for my liking.

I shall keep looking!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
