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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
