Hi Guys,

Does anyone out there drive a V35 as their daily and manage to squeeze the kids/grocery shopping in the back? I have a four year old son and his child seat will need to be secured

I see the boot is very large!

Im tempted to try and find an import dealership in Brisbane to take a look at one in the flesh, any recomendations for a dealership?

Thanks

Daniel

Hey man kids are fine at the back and is more than enough space for groceries...you can also fold the rear seats dpwn for larger items as well minus the kid/s though.... I have a sub in the boot and I can still manage groceries haha get 1! Awesome cars

Yep, I have 2 seats in the back of my V35 for a 6 year old and 3 year old. No problems. The boots are big enough for groceries, but not really for anything else tbh. I would NOT call them a big boot, but they are adequate. At least groceries from a Coles catalogue can fit in there. You can't quite fit 2 decent size wheels in there, which sucks.

13 & 17 year olds in the back, Sydney and back many times, QLD etc no problems or whinging, well apart from their fighting at times , haha .

lots of boot for trips.

I added APS twin turbo system to the 350GT and with its torque it is a quick family car :)

I gave my 350GT to my Son today and miss it already. If you ever want it to really get going add a twin turbo system, with that motor and torque :woot:

But I still have my R34 :wub: :wub: :wub:

Adding TT will bring it a bees tit more powerful or less than a 370 right? 200KW to 249KW I love my new 370GT Type SP, I love the new improved look of the headlights too

Like to see some cold hard evidence it will smash it. 370GT is way faster than a 350GT My TRD AURION smashed my mates 350GT literally killed it didn’t stand a chance… Every morning for 5 years was another slaughter lol , and my 370 is faster than the TRD. I was almost going to buy a 350 but “IMO” the headlights are unsightly. Wack a TT on the 370 she’ll probably do 11’s

Understood, fair enough, agreed. id rather supercharger personally, anyway way off topic... Back too, Plenty of room in the back if your 5.10 or below.. as per post i'm exactly 181cm 6ft i couldn't sit there for to long i will get a sore neck as the back wind screen is quite low.

I know they say they were 200 ish KWs mine was 182KW on the dyno before the tune, did a soft tune at 255 kw, does not seem much but great fun. Had a bloke with a 350Z and I smashed it, he went and put the APS TT system on,haha Off topic :(

It is not a back seat for 6Ft + , they sit in the front on long trips , even if they have to drive :)

Have had my 3 & 4yo girls in the back seat of mine on 3-4 hour road trips no problems at all. It actually seems like it has more leg room for them than my partners 4 door bmw sedan boot space is fine for carting our gear around also. Very smooth and comfy on longer trips I liked the fuel range on the open highway 700-800k + per tank was good.

Only annoying thing was putting the seats forward when it's time for rear passengers to get out..

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
