Is it possible to do a manual swap to a 2005 v35 sedan from a 2003 v35 coupe. 

I understand the centre console needs to be modified for handbrake, I plan to use a hydro as its for a drift car. 

I understand there are tailshaft mods that need to be done, I already talked to a shop and they believe can just modify the front half of the shaft with the 2005 v35s since they didn't run rubber couplings. 

The part I'm unsure about is tricking the auto ecu into running in neutral mode, if the cross member from a v35 coupe will fit a sedan for the conversion. 

Any help and advice is much appreciated thank you.

Also is the 2003 v35 coupe fuel tank the same as a 2005 fuel tank? 

coupe vs sedan Fuel tank is different.

Coupe vs sedan Front cross member is different (not sure how but part numbers are different)

Transmission mount is different between auto 5AT and 6MT. (6MT same as CVT)

No idea how to make the ECU happy..

So glad I just went ahead and did it instead of listening to the internet. 

For anyone else wondering. 

Today I swapped out a rusty V35 sedan fuel tank (350gt 2005) with a tank from a 2003 v35 coupe. 

100 percent the same, I see amayama has two different part numbers that bit I'm not sure why. 

The only difference i found was the tube inside the tank which sucks from the other side of the saddle doesnt suit the sedan fuel pump assembly.

I just cut it off, and replaced it with fuel rated 3/8th hose and fit perfect with two hose clamps. 

Thats all that was needed, beat paying nissan $1500 for a new fuel tank.

So 100% the same except for the bits that are different? :)

I suspect the part numbers are different because of the difference?

The difference isn't in the fuel tank, rather the fuel pump lines. 

Thanks for the correction even though you apparently (due to your previous "advice") don't know what your talking about. 

For those playing at home, the 2003 coupe used a barb and clamp to retain tbe hose. Whilst my 2005 sedan uses push locks. 

All I did was adapt the hose to push lock fitting. 

Job done.

    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
