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..

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      Compressor flow comparison table

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
