Hi all,

I've been lurking for a little bit and decided to join up. Purchased a 2006 V35 about a week ago (very happy with it!) and just had a couple of questions:

Where in New Zealand (North Island) can you get an english conversion? (I don't care about the navigation, but the other stuff would be nice to have in english).

Where do you suggest I look to find a coupe mid pipe? (I love the sound of the engine and would like a little more purr but not "loud").

Where are the anchor points for the child seats?

What is the "Cold Region Package"?

How do you bring up the fuel economy stats on the screen? (I figured out the bluetooth and maintenance history stuff)

Also wanted to say thanks to Chris (Mr whizz electrical guy) as so many of your posts have already been invaluable to me!

And no thread is complete without pictures, so here she is:

2006 350GT

Looks good.

Cold package was a larger battery and no key locks on the front doors I believe.

Anchor points should be on the rear parcel shelf, at least they are on my sedan.

Coupe exhaust could probably be found at a wrecker?

And just an FYI. All 350gt sedans are 'premium'.

Ah good to know about the premiums haha!

Hmmm it has a door lock on the drivers door.... It does warm up quite quickly even with the heater on (climate set at max temp) although I'm comparing that to the previous car which was a Commodore.......

Can't find anchor points on the parcel tray, could they be behind the center arm rest in the back seat? (Just something I saw there)

Thanks!

the side ancor points in mine are directly behind the side seats on the parcel shelf. if they are there, you can't miss them. Perhaps someone has unbolted them on your car? but there should still be a hole in the parcel shelf..

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
