V36 350GT has a VQ35HR and the V36 370Gt has a VQ37HR.

From memory the 350GT carries over a 5AT and 6MT

The 370GT has a 7AT and 6MT.

Sedans mostly auto.

I would get in contact with Kristian or troy from iron chef imports to get a good genuine low Km from Japan.

My choice would be the 350/370GT SP (sport premium)

Ok

V36 350GT VQ35HR 5sp auto/6speed manual.

V36 370GT VQ37HR 7sp auto/6speed manual.

From memory the 350GT sedans came auto and manual. Not sure about 370GT sedans.

Iron Chef Imports. Google/Facebook them for a decent genuine low Km from Japan.

Model of choice 350/370GT "SP" leather, sunroof and a camera under the passenger mirror to help reverse Park.

^^ mostly this..

350GT was a 3.5L sedan only and was only availble for the first 1.5 - 2 years of the V36 model run.

All V36 Sedans are auto (manual is not available at all in the V36 sedan in any year).

If you want a manual in a V36, you have to go to a coupe, which are only 370GT (3.7L engine).

After about 2008, all sedans were a 370GT.

I think the V36 350GT only came with the 5sp Auto. From what I have heard the 7sp auto didn't really give any benefits in performance or economy, but I haven't heard anything bad about it either.

^ this

350GT only 2006-2008 vq35hr sedans 5spd auto only.

2009 onwards all sedans had the 7spd auto box with 3.7l engines

Coupes only came with 3.7l engines. Coupes up to 09 had the 5spd gearbox. After that 7 spd auto. Of course they had the 6 spd manual

7 spd gearbox is 50kg heavier so on short distances doesn't give much better economy. But high way and stuff it does give much better economy.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of this. in my experience the VQ35DE doesn't benefit from better economy with low cruise RPM. I guess the VQ37HR does?

50kg is a fair wack for an extra 2 gears.. the 6sp manual weighs well under 100kg in total.

Yea thats what I thought too with the low rpm, but a few guys has been saying when they do long distance their economy was xx and was better than the 5spd autos.

V36 Sedans in other parts of the world gets the manual gearbox except JDM =(

Thanks for reply guys.

So far do we have any problem with V36 sedan yet ?

I might get V36 3.5L one

Prestige Motorsport Quote me around $13000.00 this sound realy good

One thing when they Compliance.ZXeon light have to take out like the old V35 ?

If they don't have auto levelling headlights and headlight washers, then HIDs 'should' come out during compliance.

I would happily buy a V36 - 350GT if I didn't already have a V35. I think they are priced quite well since many people want the 370GT.

Just keep in mind the example prices prestige motorsport supply are usually based on the exchange rate at the time of the sale, so you will need to factor in the actual exchange rate you will get, which will usually be a bit worse than the current official exchange rate (everyone wants to make their cut).

and prices usually exclude new tyres, RWC, Rego and insurance.

370GT was updated as the sedan from launch with 09 MY. Self healing paint, revised alloy trim, seems like real metal in mine, centre rear headrest, 6 airbags etc..

Major update from 10 MY with complete revamp of interior systems (higher resolution screen) and switchgear (heated seats are rotary not switches), as well as exterior with new grill, bumpers and headlights. Nav also became standard, so no non-nav for Chris to install Garmin into. This is bascially what was the G37 as sold in RHD in UK as 4 dr and 2dr here and many other places..

Very happy with the fuel consumption getting less than 10 l/100km in any kind of freeway trip now, vs 12.5 in the M35 Stagea...

The 3.7 model has some minor improvements in electronics (not very useful in Australia), 7sp gearbox, self-healing paint and some +15hps under the hood. I have spoken to many people with both engine types and found no reason to prefer 3.7 to 3.5, so I chose to bid for a car with better auction marks, type SP and lower mileage, I thought these were much more important. Too bad to see it go soon, but I'll be getting a vq35de bus instead :)

I actually went for a car with higher milage at auction (130k), the savings were amazing, and also less risk of the milage having been wound back in Japan..

I went in to looking for cars with a 350GT '07 budget, and left having paid AUD 500 more for a 370GT '09.

Very happy with that decision...

Back to back driving comparisons of 3.5 to 3.7, the 3.7 does feel more torquey due to the variable lift doing its thing..

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
