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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
