Hi everyone,

I am a proud owner of a v35 coupe in New Zealand for the past 2.5 years and is now thinking of upgrading to a v36 coupe.

I have been doing my research on the internet but is struggling to find the actual features and specs for the different type of v36.

As such, I am just keen to get some help from everyone here on the following:-

1) Apart from leather seats, what are the additional features that you can get from a type P as compared to the base model?

2) With the type S, I know it doesn't have the leather seat but come with paddle shift and 19 inch wheels instead as compared to the type P. However, apart from this are there anything that the Type P has that the Type S doesn't?

3) How significant is the different between a Type S and Type SP? I understand that Type SP has leather seat and the Bose sound system. But apart from this, what's the different between the Type S and Type SP?

4) Does any of the variant comes with cruise control? From some website, it seems like it cruise control is an optional feature but the dealer I am looking at to help me do the import process tells me that the coupe doesn't come with cruise control.

At the moment, I am pretty keen on a type SP but prices are a little steep and probably just over my budget. Hence, I am thinking of looking into the type P or type S as I am not really fuss about having full leather seat or just partial leather or having a Bose sound system. I do hope that I can have the paddle shift and cruise control options.

I have tried looking in the forum for the detail breakdown of options and features for each variant but can't seems to have any luck finding too much details, hence the new post.

I do apologise if there is already a post for this and would appreciate anyone's help in directing me to the appropriate post / website.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for this! I recall finding this before a while back when I was researching for my v35 and comparing it with the v36. For some reasons I must have missed it this round or could have been the key words I used. But thanks for the tip! Another question I have is does the car has the option for cruise control in all variant or it's more an after market add-on by Chris? Thanks!

Thanks for the update Chris! Looks like it's going to be pretty hard finding a car with cruise control then! Normally what's the cost of the kit? Can I get the kit here in Auckland or can you send a set from Australia across and I get someone locally to fit it? Or do you have any contacts who can do this? Thanks!

Hi people, another quick questions on the v36.

Does the car comes standard with the on-board hard disk, SD card slot, ipod integration and bluetooth? I was looking on a review of the G37 on cnet and it was saying that the hard disk and SD slot comes with the sat nav system. Is that true for the v36? Is the features standard for each variant of the car?

Please advise!

Thanks!

Thanks Al! Hmmmm..... sounds like the Sat Nav will have quite a bit of other use as I would love to have 9gb of HDD to store my music although the ipod integration might solve that problem anyway but I do recall reading somewhere on the forum saying it's probably best not to have the sat nav for some other reason.....

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
