This is probably not that new, but anyhow, I post anyhow. The 4 door was released a couple of weeks ago in Japan.. the 2 door is due 1st quarter of next year

http://www2.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V36/0611/index.html

You can wade around the site, and look at the pretty pictures.. or maybe even read some of it if you know your Japanese. It's got an interesting side-profile, and personally I think it looks better than the droopy V35 4door model.

Hopefully this'll bring the price of the V35's down in price to silly levels in 6 months ;)

.. and seeing as I can press print-screen as good as the next guy..

Anyhow, from mucking about on the site .. you can probably see it's got

* Push button start

* Black leather, bone leather, or a reddy-brown leather as options

* Plastic/wood grain look inserts as an option

* Option of different front bar or mud-guard things

* Available in 5 speed manual or Auto Tiptronic

* Reverse sensing camera(s)

* Sat Nav

* Has Bose Premium sound system

* Available in 4WD or 2WD (2WD only for upper spec models)

* Economy of 10L/100km

* VQ35HR on upper specc'ed models, and also VQ25HR available

* VQ35HR - 232kw with 358Nm of torque @ 4800rpm

* VQ25HR - 165kw with 263Nm of torque @ 4800rpm

* Gas tank under rear seat

* 4WD comes with VQ25HR only.

* Most spec'ed models weigh about 1600kg unladen

If you want to read about what the HR brings over the current VQ35de engines, jump over to here:

http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/VQ35HR

"HR" possibly stands for "High Response and High Revolution" .. and they've upped the rev limit to 7500rpm :(

would have liked to see the vq35hr in an awd spec

and it seems that they are targeting business types - due to the fact that the only 2wd version is the highest spec model (why would somebody want awd on a heavy, full spec model? smart thinking nissan!)

Looks insane.

Remember guys these are standard cars. Standard previous model skylines (bar the GTR) didnt look crash hot in standard form either.

That is one nice peice of machinery. The reason why they wont bring that in over a Maxima is that the maxima costs considerably less. Tell me who in australia is going to buy a 100k Nissan thats not an out and out sports car. No one.

Most of the guys who buy Maximas are company managers, executives. Some of these top managers only have like a 60-70k Car budget and a optioned out Maxima is one of the most luxurious things on the market these days (my old state manager had one) without stepping into a 120k+ european car.

I'm with dangerous dave.... I also see some Merc CLS and BMW M5 styling in the sedan. I like it. I'd buy one as the V35 sedan just never appealed to me with it's bulbous styling, the V35 coupe grew on me though.

They can't make boxy looking cars forever.. styles change. Although I do like the older Skylines of course. The V36 at least goes back to a meaner look I think with how they've gone, which is a good thing.

At 232kw and that amount of torque, I'd say they'd go quite well, even if they are a meant to be a 'taxi' in the 4 door version.

Nissan would probably have to sell them for $60k-$80k if they sold here, which unfortunately probably wouldn't be too viable.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
