Hey guys I was just looking at the Tein japan website and the spring kits for them have different models:

For e.g. The G35 has two different spring kits available: The S-Tech and the H-Tech, the S-tech giving a lower drop than H-tech. While if you look up the 350GT it's only got the H-tech available for them and not only that, the drop isn't as low as either of the kits available for the G35. Can anybody shed some light on this? Aren't they the same car which should mean they should have the same suspension?

Note. Car is Nissan skyline V36 sedan 4 350GT 2007/ Infinit G35 Sedan 4 Door 2007

I'll give my 2 cents worth here rather than over on G35driver.... It could be that they offer a number of different models in the G35 including an all wheel drive version - they have (as far as I can tell) the base, Journey, Sport and X which is AWD. This may be the reason, perhaps others can confirm and/or deny. From what I've read on G35driver with the Tein there is a good chance you'll need a camber kit whereas with the Eibach maybe not - again probably some experience in here that can confirm.

yep the year models in the US are "wrong" compared to japan. they started 2 years behind, and somewhere later they became just 1 year behind.

usually referring to a series one or series 2 of a particular body type (35, 36, 37) if applicable will be more accurate than the actual year.

the G37 is the V36 370GT, the G35 covers our V35 and V36 350GT.

The infiniti model numbers signify the engine size not the series.. the G25 is the V36 250GT.

I think Brad is probably on the right track.. the AWD G35 will have some differences.. as far as I know the RWD G35 (up to 2006) suspension setup is the same as our V35.

Hahaha there you are Brad! good to see you on here as well! Again thanks for the reply guys, so would it be safe to assume the spring kit I order from Tein Japan for a JDM V36 should fit regardless if my model is a USDM G35? Being both RWD they should right?

AWD G35 is the same suspension setup as AWD M35 Stagea's (2001-2007)... either NM35 or PM35.

Same car, same suspension.

What makes you think your car is a USDM G35? I assume you have a V36 and someone has put Infiniti badges on it. You cannot import G35s into Australia, and they are all LHD.

Thanks again guys for the replies, I appreciate the input and it's cleared up my confusion on the topic.

Andrew I ordered a V36 but I asked my importer to check for me and his said it's a G35 model because he saw the analogue clock on the dash (apparently USDM only) and although it's debadged the steering wheel symbol is infinity not G35 hence the confusion.

Is it left hand drive? The clock can be added and the steering wheel changed easy enough. I am quite certain that under RAWS G35s in any form cannot be imported. Unless it is a convertible out of Europe - there are a few of those floating around - pretty sure they only started making those in 2009 though.

smoke and mirrors can turn a G35 into a V35, didnt you know? headlights arent a problem either

also youre right, there are NO USDM G35/36/37s in australia and registered. maybe there are a few track only ones.

Almost.. G35 = V35 350GT and V36 350GT (sometimes called 2nd gen G35). G37 = V36 370GT.

The Infiniti model numbers signify engine size... thus no G36 as there is no 3.6L version..

There is now an Infiniti G25.. as you can guess it is basically a V36 250GT..

Same applies for the rest of the Infiniti models.. eg. M37 is a 3.7L V6.. M56 is a 5.6L V8.. etc..

Currently true.. all G37s will look that same as our V36..

but the 2007+ G35 is also the same as our V36.. and if the next series of skyline (V37), has a 3.7L engine, it will also be called a G37 in USA. So it could be potenitally misleading to make a direct G vs V comparson.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
