Call them this morning.

As I expected: Basicly They can do nothing on it beside used the screen as a display equipment and connect other device on it not actually"convert".

Go on looking for something else.

Thanks everybody

Funny that, when I was up there they also had a stillen supercharger and intercooler they were going to fit to the V35 and sell as a kit, but when I called about it last week it was still in the box as I left it last year. What a shame.

To answer the question about why they call it the V35 and not the R35?

I read that the chassis number is determined by the engine designation. The R31/32/33/34 series platforms had RB motors and now the new skylines have VG series motors and are called V35.

35 because it comes after 34 and V because of the VG series motor.

I'm not sure it's always been that way for skylines, but apparently that's what I read in a mag about the more recent skylines. (R31 onwards)

If anyone else can shed some light, I'd like to be 100% sure.

The V35 has a VQ, not a VG.

As for the chassis designation corresponding to the engine, it fits for the Skyline but at the same time why would Nissan use that chassis naming convention just for one series of car? Their engine naming convention is consistent across all their modern products (2 letters / engine displacement / camshafts / EFI / Turbo) yet not every Nissan has the chassis letter corresponding to the engine.

It doesn't fit with the mentality of large companies. If you have a naming convention, you make it consistent across everything you do. That it happens to fit the Skyline just seems like a fluke; a similar urban myth to RB standing for "Race Bred".

You could just as well say that the R31-34 chassis were built with an "R" model (GTS-R for the R31, GT-R for the R32-34) in mind when Nissan first designed them, whereas the current generation Skyline was never going to get an R model. Thus it would never "earn" the right to have an R chassis, so they had to give it another name.

Its just as plausible, and just as unlikely.

Has anyone looked into if you can use components out of the current Aus patrol to get the Navi/Screen working in the V35?

I already working on that for more than 4 months. the answer is "yes" but doesn't worth it. chech my perious post for the options.

yep

PM me

it took me 3 hour to fit the wing

dig 10 different sized holes on my boot.

1 of 20MM, 3 of 13MM, 6 of 18mm.

F**k it is hard work as the metal is over 1mm thick and very hard and my tool are craps from $2 shop

But looks awesome with the addtional break light on the wing.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
