G35's in my country does not have the S letter after the G35. Is there a diff b/w the cars???

 

From Edmunds:

Sport Package
Includes front 225/50WR18 front performance tires, 245/45WR18 rear performance tires, 18" x 7.5" front and 18" x 8.5" rear aluminum alloy wheels, viscous limited slip differential, A/T paddle shifters, upgraded front brake calipers, unique front fascia and side sills, sport-styled seats with thigh extension, power thigh support and torso support, sport stitching on steering wheel and aluminum pedals. NOT AVAILABLE with Wheat.

 

Ridoor, GCC spec G35's are a mix between the Journey and Sport.
We have paddle shifters, sport wheels/tires, and a couple other stuff, but we don't have the sport seats, sport bumper, pedals, etc.
Concerning the brakes, rear diff, suspension, etc. i really have no idea which version we have.
we also have parts from the JDM version such as the orange rear blinkers, side blinkers, etc.
Furthermore, there are parts on our GCC spec cars that are completely different than USDM and JDM. the radiator reservoir for example is designed differently. We have better engine cooling and management systems. Our speed limiters are set at 260kmh and top speed is 280kmh (174mph) rather than 260kmh (160mph).
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more stuff that are different but this is what I've found so far.

 

^ So you don't have the VLSD?

no clue ^^

 

Hi all,

+1 to Q8y_drifter, also regarding the engine that is available in GCC at 2007 (when i bought mine) although it is 3.5L it gives 326 HP!!! (as dealer claims).... but I never dyno test it.

 

That is just the difference between the measurings. You don't have more horpower you guys just measure it different.

 

Hi tg1234,
first time I hear this think (measure it different)!!! can you explain more how the deferment is?

 

Yes ask your dealer to tell you the power in KW. That will clear it for you.

Almost all automakers now comply with the SAE horsepower standards. Asian carmakers (Toyota, and Honda in particular) were notorious for padding their HP ratings, with some models dropping 20+ HP when switching over to the new standard. They weren't necessarily lying, just setting up the tests to favor each particular engine. So the SAE came up with a new set of standards to be used in testing all engines.

For some reason, car companies selling in the middle east (and various other locations) still use the old standards which allowed them to inflate the HP ratings.

Like mentioned above. Same engine....same horsepower.....just different ways of measuring it.
