Lol that’s me. Bought one in March and so far my all time favourite vehicle that I’ve owned. Unfortunately I live in Alberta and we had a huge hailstorm that destroyed my car. I was so flustered, I wasn’t done having my fun with it yet, so I started looking for another one and to my luck I did find one.
@@bigredzebra6220 absolutely not. The only thing expensive about it is how frequent you gotta fuel up. Besides that its just a Nissan, parts arent expensive.

hey mate, im looking to get a 370gt,is there any way to check if the kms of the car is genuine? these importants seem to have very low mileage considering their age
@@thatpersiandude7386 the only way to be 100% sure is to locate the import documents from when it came from Japan. There's various websites that you can use to type in the vin number of the car and receive all the original Japanese documentation, KMs etc. Costs about $50-$100 from what I've seen. I'm not sure how common winding back the KMs is on these cars, but keep in mind most people are only going to import pristine, low km examples. Mine came over in 2013 so I'm not too worried about the KMs. Hope that helps mate

Great review. Definitely underrated in many places. However, you seem to misunderstand the meaning behind skyline a little bit. Skyline is their top line, the line reaching for the sky. Most famous skyline in Japan? Mt. Fuji breaking through the clouds. Thus the Infiniti was born. Infiniti logo? Mt. Fuji. Basically skyline = luxury line. Yes, it started off with gtrs, but evolved into their luxury line. The naming structure stuck too. GT-R = twin-turbo, GT-T = single turbo, GT = NA (in this case 350 gt). Even the q50 is referred to as the skyline sedan and if you overlay it over an image of the r34, its the same front end - 'liquified'. They only kept the skyline name for the q50 line. The q70, or the m35/27 that came before it is called Fuga. Its a really interesting evolution, you just need to understand where and how it started and understand the thinking behind it. Another fun fact, the new q50 runs a VR engine derived from the VR in the r35 gt-r. And another one, the AWD system in the g35x/g37x/350gt awd/370gt awd is exactly the same as the r34. Well, the sport version anyways, the non-sport has an open diff in the rear. (yours is an xS, AWD version with rear LSD because of snow button :D) Since I can't seem to shut up, the rear seats don't have that adjustability function in the North American version, but they also don't fold down. Its a rigid metal frame behind the seat and one of the reasons the sedan is actually lighter than the coupe. The Japanese version also has folding mirrors, mirror and side marker turn signals, and some later versions even had front cameras, not just rear. There are also a bunch of little bits shared with or can be swapped from the r35 gt-r. Things like map lights, start button, those magnesium paddles are the same parts. God I love this car....
@@RossReviewsau hell yes! Always been a Nissan fanatic. This is one of the last amazing cars they have made. Also have a Q50 red sport (400hp twin turbo) in the stable, but being stock, it's nowhere near as fun as my G which has A LOT of work done.
Highbatros I had a V35 coupe before was a 6 speed manual fully speced and was a beast! I can remeber pulling up to Audi’s BMWs and even porches and the owners all looking at me like dammmee? What is that lol😅 the car looked so good
@@RossReviewsau Imagine the looks I get when I do that with a family sedan putting down 307hp to all 4 wheels :D. I do admit, however, the g35, to me, sounded much better. Like an angry Chewbacca.
@@ndk2k4 nice. I have always loved the Skyline, I wanna get a 250GT instead of the 350GT because of better MPG. Something has been stopping me cause of the bad reviews of Nissans suddenly dying on you, especially the transmissions. A lot of youtubers saying Nissans are unreliable. So terrifying 😱.
I love the African Rosewood Trim package on the V35 and V36 Skyline/Infiniti G. Nissan finally started putting real wood trim on their cars in this price range starting with the V35 Skyline. It is very hard to find one of these used with the wood trim package. The washi aluminum trim is nice too, but I prefer the African Rosewood Package. I wouldn’t mind owning a nice lightly used V36 like this despite the lack of new technology such as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The V36 Nissan Skyline is just too much fun to drive to forget about it all of these years later.
Good review, had one of these for 3 years now in NZ. Very happy with it no complaints, it's a bit more hungry on the gas than I would like 8.3km/L but its been reliable and lots of fun. Would recommend. Only mod I have is a muffler delete which sounds fantastic and from the custom exhausts Ive heard actually sounds better.
thanks m8 appreciate it.. they are a really nice car.. fuel consumption aint the best but its still a performance car so to be expected really. they are truly one of the best sounding V6s ever made its unfortunate this one had a tiny exhaust
Iv still got mine. It's the 2008 SP version with the same interior of the model here. Bought when I was living in NZ and imported it to Melbourne. Still driving it after 5 years. Fantastic car
Clean V36 bro! They are sleepers and not many know about the HR. I love my 08 G35 sport 6 speed!! Yesss. I have the same Typhoon intake and full bolt on. My G is a beast, breaking necks everywhere I roll! #SkylineBoyz #InfinitiBoyz
they are so good.. very underrated here in Aus.. i used to own a killer G35 coupe was one of the best cars i've ever owned.. used to have people in audi/bmw drooling over it haha
Sweet bro! Waiting to get my G tuned soon. I’m out here in So.California. With good maintenance and 3 years of owning my car I’ve had 0 problems/issues. Then being N/A it’s so reliable. What year G did you own? (Side Note) Mad Max is my favorite Australian movie! “Night Rydderrr” opening seen
When the G35 came out in spring 2002 in North America it really shook the German competition, especially the BMW 3-Series. I still remember the first time I drove a 2005 Infiniti G35x sedan. I had never driven such a fun car. Hopefully Nissan will decide to redesign the Q50, Q60 to get back to where they were competitive wise with the European competition such as the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, and Alfa Romeo Guilia, not to mention the new Cadillac CT4.
Just bought one. Hence why I am looking this up. It is so nice to drive and great value at 8000 nzdollars. Only 79k km's on the clock. Plenty of power for a day to day car
@@Dannielwalkerr I own a V36 G35 [Im Canadian so I refer to it as the G35 and G37] and studied the V36 platform for a year before my purchase. I drove the G37 sedan {370GT as you call it}, and it appears to me that the 7-speed auto is ever so slightly superior for daily driving since it's not as jerky. As a daily driver, the G37 would take the cake for its nice and smooth, but if you don't mind a little stiffer of a ride and a car that's lighter on its feet [more agile and better cornering] then the V36 G35 is the better of the bunch. The sound of the vq35hr is much better and deeper than the relatively raspier sound that of the 37 and if you're looking to buy one and mod it the G35 would be the better performing of the two purely based on the fact that it's lighter. Stock for stock in a race the 37 sedan {coupes are slower} might gap the 35 by a nose, modded for modded the 35 will gap the 37 by a nose. Can't really go wrong with either one of them. Good luck with yer purchase.
Yep. This car is just as much a Skyline as the other 11 generations before it. People think the R series of Skylines is all there was, but they're wrong.
It being a Skyline is correct. The Skyline started as a 4dr, GTR is a trim level that was introduced to what we know today. The GTR of the V35/V36 era was the R35 🙄. Hell even some of those cars in Japan's market came turbo, with varing displacement motors.
Nice 👌, my neighbor a few houses down has a couple version of this car and it sounds so nice. That and the videos I've watched about this car convinced me to buy one by the end of the month or early June. Nice , thorough review man 😎👌
Just bought my first car and it’s a 07 G35 Sedan with 77k miles. Love this car! That spoiler looks great too. I wonder if I can buy somewhere online. Great review video m8!
Surprised that they didn’t import these in aus to sell. Another great review and the audio was heaps better too. Good to see some proper JDM on the channel
I had a 2013 G37x Sedan.... it was an Excellent choice, AWD, 328 hp, & it looked great. I do miss driving that car. 😊 [fuel mileage is low] I always liked the coupes. The sweet spot was to find a 2013 that just came off a 3 year lease...in 2016 for example....was a great time in the US to pick up a pre-owned G37.... for less than a new ACCORD. I admire Accords, but a G37x with 29k miles is a better buy than a new Accord V6 or 2.0T. I think the New Z is ugly. I am curious about the New Integra 🙂
As usual another great review, I've learnt something new . Way too much electronic crap but that's all modern cars . just wish the imported drivers knew how to drive .
Ross, you don't realize, in the middle east and Japan, the skyline name didn't mean anything. Base models of skyline was the equivalent of a toyota Cressida, yes, not cresta/chaser, but old geezer Cressida. Skyline name is jist what it is, a name. Like an impreza~
Nice review mate. Remember the Skyline name wasn't only reserved for GTR's though, there were plenty of rb20e slushboxes made in the R32 shape and rb25de's in the 33/34. Have you driven a FD2R?
Paul I know they don’t need to be a GTR to have a skyline name.. it’s just that this generation of skyline never received a GTR version.. n I’ve always thought they would have been better off just calling it a infinity G35 or leave it at a Nissan V36 but I get that they wanted to use the name to drive sales😅 No never driven one
@@RossReviewsau this is why i don't sub to people who are too opinionated and don't just review the car. You missed the entire point he made lol. The SKYLINE nameplate spans back to 1957, it wasn't even originally Nissan's, and Skylines were just compact luxury cars. Quad tails were on those cars way back then, and they only made GTRs for about 18 cumulative years that the name has been used. The V35+ Skylines are still very much in line with the skyline name, as 90% of Skylines were NOT GTRs. They realized they needed a purpose built racer and not a suped-up version of a normal car, which is why the R35 GTR exists. There's a reason the G35 coupe and R35 look so similar. They used the G35 as the test mule and it was ALMOST put into production fitted with AWD and a TTV6.
Excellent video, I'm glad to know all that information from you about this car. I'm planning to buy Nissan Skyline 350GT from Japan, please do more videos like this you gave me good inspiration about this car. Thanks
@@ClintonSnow yes you can there is a program you can get installed that changes the infotainment to english.. tho try n find some one in your area who does it, as depending on the year it can very on if it can be done or not..
Bro, when are want to speed with my same car V6 skyline it cut and gives me AT check and then come to normal , do you know what be the cause please help me
People need to learn that Nissan did not make the skyline bc of the GTR and every Infiniti G owner should call their car a skyline regardless of not being a gtr
Gday I managed to get myself an 07, 350 gt in absolute mint condition. Exterior, interior superb. With a certified 70000k.goes like the clappers! In saying that a tune wouldn't hurt. Cheers 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🇳🇿😁
@@RossReviewsau they are very underrated. I'm a Ford man have been for 30 plus years. Xr6s, xr8s, fairmonts, fairlanes.....but mate the (as you know) Japanese performance cars ie the skyline they are just so good.. They tick all the boxes. Have a good 1 cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿
They are gorgeous. Great bang for ya buck. I've been thinking about getting there are tons of them for sale here in New Zealand for reasonable money to be fair. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿
depends on the year sometimes.. but most of the time you can.. tho you need to go through aftermarket places which can be expensive and difficult to find
Ross Reviews no this is not AWD. I have a v36 sedan and it does not have a front diff. A right hand drive AWD version at least in the vq35hr was never produced. Mine has a Snow button and it is RWD only. Snow mode only makes the car sluggish so as to not lose traction when in the snow. It took less than a minute of googling to confirm that. Otherwise good video
ok i checked n for whatever reason couldn't figure it out.. i think you are correct tho.. i chirp the tires a couple times so thought it must have been rear wheel only.. hope you enjoyed it anyhow
nice mate they are great cars.. not sure on the best exhaust i know the invidia is ok.. there is a US brand that makes these cars sound really insane but the name has left me blank.. its very pricey tho from memory was like 3k (i used to have a V35)
Yes! .... I win again ( now I can watch the video ). Great review Jon, and OK, that's a pretty cool car, but, Japanese script : not sure I could live with that. By the way Jon, at the risk of repeating myself ...... it is NISS-ANNE not KNEE-SUN 😄
Tony Buhagiar lol Niss-anne It’s nothing like the Aussie sedans but it is a nice car much more similar to Bmw n cars of that nature.. nice win by the way 🤣
@LS3.8YA ...... Cheers mate! Please pass on my sincere gratitude to your reprobate mates for having gotten you safely home. By the way, have you seen Gary's latest video satire about that Swedish loony? : it's entitled "Thunbergs Are Go". I don't know if you are familiar with The Thunderbirds, but man, I laughed my tits off.
@LS3.8YA .... Oh honestly, you should not put poor Jon on the spot like that. You know darn well that the answer will be a Barra, but he is too polite to risk offending the Bogan element of his audience.

250GT has a smaller displacement engine.. it's a 2.5L V6 with about 222HP vs the 3.5L V6 i reviewed.. (don't get the 250GT unless you don't care about speed..)
I don't want to sound like a noob, but is the body the same as the v36 g37? For instance, if I got a v36 g35, would I be able to buy g37 sedan parts and put them on this car? Thank you!
@@RossReviewsau ok thank you! After some more research, I think the g35 and g37 front bumpers and headlights are slightly different, but most of the rest of the car seems the same. Great video!
just look for basic maintenance issues.. is it clean, is the oil clean, any vibrations when driving.. the cars are pretty good from memory not a lot of specifics to look out for..
I bought a same one for 2 weeks. Wood trim but no cruise control. Could u share some light on music listening. I do not have aux plug in the arm rest. I only can use fm transmitter or cds. 😂😂
Ross Reviews no this is not AWD. I have a v36 sedan and it does not have a front diff. A right hand drive AWD version at least in the vq35hr was never produced.

@@Wifelover_ ok.. i could have been wrong on that fact.. was hard to confirm when i was googling. must be the north american versions that if they have the snow mode then its AWD ? that would make sense as they do change things between market..
Ross Reviews that’s just a snow mode to cut power back so you won’t spin the tires And. Get a bit more traction in the snow my q50 has a snow mode awd will have a awd badge

I drove the G37 sedan {370GT as you call it}, and it appears to me that the 7-speed auto is ever so slightly superior for daily driving since it's not as jerky. As a daily driver, the G37 would take the cake for its nice and smooth, but if you don't mind a little stiffer of a ride and a car that's lighter on its feet [more agile and better cornering] then the V36 G35 is the better of the bunch. The sound of the vq35hr is much better and deeper than the relatively raspier sound that of the 37 and if you're looking to buy one and mod it the G35 would be the better performing of the two purely based on the fact that it's lighter. Stock for stock in a race the 37 sedan {coupes are slower} might gap the 35 by a nose, modded for modded the 35 will gap the 37 by a nose. Can't really go wrong with either one of them. Good luck with yer purchase.
Whoever modded this, really did a good job. Some mods are just gawdy and ugly, but this one was done tastefully.
yeh i really like it only negative was the exhaust rattle but easy fix..
To be fair it was called a skyline before it was rebadged for the north american market
Yep. This car is just as much a Skyline as the other 11 generations before it. People think the R series of Skylines is all there was, but they're wrong.
As usual another great review, I've learnt something new😃
It being a Skyline is correct. The Skyline started as a 4dr, GTR is a trim level that was introduced to what we know today. The GTR of the V35/V36 era was the R35 🙄.
Hell even some of those cars in Japan's market came turbo, with varing displacement motors.
Ah yes, the 2007 G35s is the car I learned to drive on and here soon I’ll be reunited with the same car again. Very excited!
Nice 👌, my neighbor a few houses down has a couple version of this car and it sounds so nice. That and the videos I've watched about this car convinced me to buy one by the end of the month or early June. Nice , thorough review man 😎👌
Right on thanks m8!! these cars are really great! amazing value for money.. you will love it man glad i could help ya make your decision
I need one of these
they are great! i actually used to own a V35 coupe loved it
Dont go for a automatic gearbox or frontwheel drive
@@basvermeer6796 they are very hard to find manuals and they don't come in front wheel drive only in rear wheel drive or AWD
Just Bought one got the elusive SP Model smile on my face everytime
good buy m8.. great cars
Just bought my first car and it’s a 07 G35 Sedan with 77k miles. Love this car! That spoiler looks great too. I wonder if I can buy somewhere online. Great review video m8!
nice buy! they are really good cars.. lots of aftermarket parts available for these cars.. check ebay you should find heaps!
Ross Reviews bet. Thanks man! 🙏🏽
Surprised that they didn’t import these in aus to sell. Another great review and the audio was heaps better too. Good to see some proper JDM on the channel
Mitch James it does surprise me also🤔 I think they would have done well.. glad you enjoyed 🙏 thanks bro
Thank you for reviewing this car.
thanks for watching!
With a supercharger from Stillen you call it a skyline with 500hp under hood ,400hp to the wheels and still be very reliable.
L Thomas that would be something to see!
I have 2007 skyline infiniti... love it so much. Looks dope. Performance wise awesome👌
Good choice! they are a great all rounder eh
True
I had a 2013 G37x Sedan.... it was an Excellent choice, AWD, 328 hp, & it looked great. I do miss driving that car. 😊 [fuel mileage is low]
I always liked the coupes. The sweet spot was to find a 2013 that just came off a 3 year lease...in 2016 for example....was a great time in the US to pick up a pre-owned G37.... for less than a new ACCORD. I admire Accords, but a G37x with 29k miles is a better buy than a new Accord V6 or 2.0T.
I think the New Z is ugly.
I am curious about the New Integra 🙂
they are so underrated.. i swear.. amazing cars for the money.. new Z has promise but time will tell
As usual another great review, I've learnt something new . Way too much electronic crap but that's all modern cars . just wish the imported drivers knew how to drive .
Peter Goodwin thanks brotha🙌🙏 90% of road users need a refresh eh🙄lol
best thing about this car is a stock fg turbo blows it out of the water like a dead fish
Beast60 wtf
haha your not wrong but besides the point
Ross, you don't realize, in the middle east and Japan, the skyline name didn't mean anything. Base models of skyline was the equivalent of a toyota Cressida, yes, not cresta/chaser, but old geezer Cressida.
Skyline name is jist what it is, a name. Like an impreza~
Great review Ross, defiantly an underrated car here in aus
Juicy_Shadowz thanks m8! Yes it really is.. even the v35!
@@RossReviewsau they sure are, any chance of seeing a rs5 review anytime soon Ross?
Juicy_Shadowz I’m on the hunt brotha.. hopefully one comes my way soon.. I’ve always like the look of them
@@RossReviewsau car yard in Perth has the one I want 2014 in the blue , looks mint👌
@@Juicyshadowz wish they would join the ross reviews team haha love to review one
I mean, they're jdm Nissan Skylines.i love mine. I have had VQ35DE, but the HR is way better, in my opinion. ❤
Solid cars
Nice review mate. Remember the Skyline name wasn't only reserved for GTR's though, there were plenty of rb20e slushboxes made in the R32 shape and rb25de's in the 33/34. Have you driven a FD2R?
Paul I know they don’t need to be a GTR to have a skyline name.. it’s just that this generation of skyline never received a GTR version.. n I’ve always thought they would have been better off just calling it a infinity G35 or leave it at a Nissan V36 but I get that they wanted to use the name to drive sales😅
No never driven one
@@RossReviewsau this is why i don't sub to people who are too opinionated and don't just review the car. You missed the entire point he made lol. The SKYLINE nameplate spans back to 1957, it wasn't even originally Nissan's, and Skylines were just compact luxury cars. Quad tails were on those cars way back then, and they only made GTRs for about 18 cumulative years that the name has been used. The V35+ Skylines are still very much in line with the skyline name, as 90% of Skylines were NOT GTRs. They realized they needed a purpose built racer and not a suped-up version of a normal car, which is why the R35 GTR exists. There's a reason the G35 coupe and R35 look so similar. They used the G35 as the test mule and it was ALMOST put into production fitted with AWD and a TTV6.
Fun fact: GT-R is a trim level
Excellent video, I'm glad to know all that information from you about this car. I'm planning to buy Nissan Skyline 350GT from Japan, please do more videos like this you gave me good inspiration about this car. Thanks
thanks m8 happy you enjoyed the video they are really great cars!
@@RossReviewsau Is there any way to replace the Japanese infotainment (Radio) for one in English?, Have you tried that?
@@ClintonSnow yes you can there is a program you can get installed that changes the infotainment to english.. tho try n find some one in your area who does it, as depending on the year it can very on if it can be done or not..
I had no idea these had reclining backseats. Looking to buy one next week.
great cars you wont regret it!
Future Frozen I wonder if that’s for the Japanese right hand driver I will have to check mine out a American version I never seen these feat
I got my s variant for 8900 in Feb 19 in new Zealand
bargain bro.. great car
Looking at buying one of these in nz think this video has sold me shot bro
Highly recommend mate 🤙 sweet car
Really dope video. Definitely getting one of these.
great car to buy!
That is my exact 07 G35x😍😍😍
this exact one??!
Same color, year, and spoiler, except it has the Infiniti badge
It's like a Nissan bluebird sylphy G11
Bro, when are want to speed with my same car V6 skyline it cut and gives me AT check and then come to normal , do you know what be the cause please help me
I love my v36,3.7vhr. A lot of fun.
great cars
People need to learn that Nissan did not make the skyline bc of the GTR and every Infiniti G owner should call their car a skyline regardless of not being a gtr
love the way he says skyline
😮💨👌
And if you want the wagon version.....m35 stagea! Do a review of one ross. Please.
deanosslewis yes I haven’t tested one yet.. would be interested if I can find one I will get it on the channel!🤙📸
great video..i didn't know this info..i have the 07 g35x awd sedan vq35hr
Glad it helped thanks m8
Gday I managed to get myself an 07, 350 gt in absolute mint condition. Exterior, interior superb. With a certified 70000k.goes like the clappers! In saying that a tune wouldn't hurt. Cheers 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🇳🇿😁
what a good buy mate! they are brilliant cars.. really under rated
@@RossReviewsau they are very underrated. I'm a Ford man have been for 30 plus years. Xr6s, xr8s, fairmonts, fairlanes.....but mate the (as you know) Japanese performance cars ie the skyline they are just so good.. They tick all the boxes. Have a good 1 cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿
@@stuwhyte479 cant argue their these are a great performing sedan! and even better in the coupe ;)
Wait the rear seats recline? I've had two of these and never knew that.
yes haha very cool little feature to make it that much more premium
@@RossReviewsau apparently the US models do not have that feature. I went outside yesterday after watching your video and there was no lever there.
@@ateurv8216 really?? that is strange tho would not surprise me since there are usually small differences between US and JDM cars
@@ateurv8216 yea same here no recline... but we do get a cubby space tucked on the right side of the center arm rest
You can get them in some models.
I actually like the previous body style in the sedan more than these for the simplicity of it
Taylor Vazquez I really don’t like them stock.. but I have seen really nice looking modified ones.. the coupe looks good tho either way
Nice work Johnny and great car. 👍
dspada67 thank you🙌🙏 I liked it 😁
Dude I have a 2008 g35s it’s so dope I love it I have a 6 speed manual transmission and it’s quick nice and I love it
Very nice! They go well
They are gorgeous. Great bang for ya buck. I've been thinking about getting there are tons of them for sale here in New Zealand for reasonable money to be fair. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿
they are great bang for buck! love NZ
Skylines are normal cars, GTRs are racing versions of a skyline. Like type r like hondas
yes but feels odd no GTR version no?
can we change the language from Japanese to english?
depends on the year sometimes.. but most of the time you can.. tho you need to go through aftermarket places which can be expensive and difficult to find
Thinking of getting the 350gt or the used 2010 wrx g3...
Which one would you recommend?
350gt is much more reliable
I wonder if the car need to be fixed how difficult is find parts in Australia?
My only issue is that air bag light won’t stop blinking lol but other than that I love mine!!
great cars! really underrated
Could be an issue with your clock spring.
In Japan they call it a skyline which is why it has its name
true just think its lost the meaning is all
Ross Reviews no this is not AWD. I have a v36 sedan and it does not have a front diff. A right hand drive AWD version at least in the vq35hr was never produced.
Mine has a Snow button and it is RWD only. Snow mode only makes the car sluggish so as to not lose traction when in the snow.
It took less than a minute of googling to confirm that. Otherwise good video
ok i checked n for whatever reason couldn't figure it out.. i think you are correct tho.. i chirp the tires a couple times so thought it must have been rear wheel only.. hope you enjoyed it anyhow
Got the same car here in New Zealand, what's exhaust kit you guys recommend?
nice mate they are great cars.. not sure on the best exhaust i know the invidia is ok.. there is a US brand that makes these cars sound really insane but the name has left me blank.. its very pricey tho from memory was like 3k (i used to have a V35)
It would look much better with a ducktail spoiler
can easily be installed ;)
I really want one
DEADSHOT THE PILOT they are epic
Is this model cvt transmission or normal automatic, I’m looking at buying one and want to avoid cvt at all costs bc of what I’ve heard about it
normal automatic i believe in this one.. yes stay away from the CVT boxes
these were not available with a CVT
Love my VQ36 350 sp
They are so nice eh! highly underrated.. nice last name ;p
I have the same one but without rear spoiler and really want one i hope someone is selling these parts too.
they are super clean cars eh
Just bought one waiting on a bcm what kind of rims and size are those ? Thanks
sorry not sure on wheel specs.. but great cars eh! loved this thing
i have a 07 g35x love my car alot
They are great
Yes! .... I win again ( now I can watch the video ). Great review Jon, and OK, that's a pretty cool car, but, Japanese script : not sure I could live with that. By the way Jon, at the risk of repeating myself ...... it is NISS-ANNE not KNEE-SUN 😄
Tony Buhagiar lol Niss-anne
It’s nothing like the Aussie sedans but it is a nice car much more similar to Bmw n cars of that nature.. nice win by the way 🤣
@LS3.8YA i had it off :)
@LS3.8YA ...... Cheers mate! Please pass on my sincere gratitude to your reprobate mates for having gotten you safely home. By the way, have you seen Gary's latest video satire about that Swedish loony? : it's entitled "Thunbergs Are Go". I don't know if you are familiar with The Thunderbirds, but man, I laughed my tits off.
@LS3.8YA .... Oh honestly, you should not put poor Jon on the spot like that. You know darn well that the answer will be a Barra, but he is too polite to risk offending the Bogan element of his audience.
@LS3.8YA .... Yeh, every time I see her face I want to ..... but I can't afford a new laptop. She will have far more than 15 minutes mate, as she is now a messiah for the global misled youth.
Ross, what's the difference between Nissan Skyline 250GT and Nissan Skyline 350GT?
250GT has a smaller displacement engine.. it's a 2.5L V6 with about 222HP vs the 3.5L V6 i reviewed.. (don't get the 250GT unless you don't care about speed..)
Ur right bro I'm getting one soon
its so underrated... great car
imported one from japan in the same color
nice one man great cars
I need those rims... anyone know what they are called ?
Nvm there are called niche Verona
sorry i wasnt sure
What’s the color code/ what’s the color name?
9:12 "leever" 😂
lol its a LEEVER to recline
my skyline is a 250 gt,how do i take off the 4wheel drive??
i believe some are AWD all the time.. not sure you can turn it off..
how about 250GT?? there is one cheap on 2nd hand market
yeh im sure they are a good car.. just less powerfull
I don't want to sound like a noob, but is the body the same as the v36 g37? For instance, if I got a v36 g35, would I be able to buy g37 sedan parts and put them on this car? Thank you!
dont quote me lol but i think for the most part you should be safe..
@@RossReviewsau ok thank you! After some more research, I think the g35 and g37 front bumpers and headlights are slightly different, but most of the rest of the car seems the same. Great video!
@@JordyAuto thanks m8! glad you enjoyed it
Thinking about getting one soon, there’s a lot in NZ 🇳🇿
they are great
Hey im looking at one what should i look out for when i go see it in person
just look for basic maintenance issues.. is it clean, is the oil clean, any vibrations when driving.. the cars are pretty good from memory not a lot of specifics to look out for..
Do a review about Lexus sc300
Yousif Almaiasi will try and find one 🤙
I bought a same one for 2 weeks. Wood trim but no cruise control. Could u share some light on music listening. I do not have aux plug in the arm rest. I only can use fm transmitter or cds. 😂😂
i believe they did receive aux inputs but it may only be in later models..
Beautiful vehicle but that wing ruins it! Just needs a lowkey duck tail
easy mod ;)
Might buy one this weekend

very nice m8

It is Skyline. It's not Skyline GT-R.
yes just feels odd that there was no GTR version i guess
wait, where did u got 4 door g35, in malaysia only got coupe.
yes there are 4 door ones too :)
What exhaust is this?
What’s the brand of the wheels ?
Sorry brother not sure
0:53 Song please
Wait are you sure this V36 sedan is AWD? Every single one I've come across has been RWD :/
there are AWD models if it has a SNOW* mode its AWD from my knowledge
The g35x is the awd version I have a g35xs
Ross Reviews no this is not AWD. I have a v36 sedan and it does not have a front diff. A right hand drive AWD version at least in the vq35hr was never produced.

@@Wifelover_ ok.. i could have been wrong on that fact.. was hard to confirm when i was googling. must be the north american versions that if they have the snow mode then its AWD ? that would make sense as they do change things between market..
Ross Reviews that’s just a snow mode to cut power back so you won’t spin the tires And. Get a bit more traction in the snow my q50 has a snow mode awd will have a awd badge
what tires and suspension are you running
sorry was not my car.. not sure
I gonna import one in early 2021, it looks super amazing.
they are really cool cars.. n cheap too! hidden gem i reckon

How to get rid of beeping sound while reversing?😀
lol no idea!
