v35 skyline

GTR....

*sigh.......*

aren't you dead yet? could you please hurry and like, end yourself?

And we all know how good the frogs are at car design...........long live the citreon, the renault, and the peuguot, with out a doubt the three ugliest looking cars ever made.

:bs!:

C'mon Trident, don't be so one-eyed. You might have missed the fact that Citreon, Peugeot and Renault are makes, with a whole range of cars and histories going back over 100 years each. Did you know Peugeot claim to have made the world's second car, in 1889, one year after Benz did the first? Obviously not. So you know how good the frogs are at car design?!! Dismissing them as "the three ugliest looking cars ever" just puts you in the same book as the "I hate the other lot", narrow minded Falcadore lovers. In case you missed it, the Peugeot 607 Coupe was voted by the World's motoring press as one of the most beautiful cars ever. Only seen a handful in Oz, but a marvelous car. Peugeot have been World Rally Champions loads of times and are still leaders in that sport. The Citreon DS series and the Renault 5, whilst idiosyncratic, were the most innovative cars of their day and used technology way ahead of the rest of the world. (If you have a 4x4 with self levelling air suspension, thank the designers of the Citreon DS, in the 1960s!!) Peugeots and Renaults are just about the only cars to buy in Africa -they are the only cars to stand up to African roads and conditions, because their construction is so rugged.

I am not a fan of the French or their cars, but I cannot stand people being dismissive in their attitudes. If you are supposed to be a car enthusiast, you should know more about them! Give credit where it is due. Otherwise, you just descend to the level of the one make, one eyed bigots, who allow the Australian motor manufacturers to continue to give us crap and then prevent us bringing in to this country what we actually want to drive!!

Just thought you might like to ponder that!

Cheers.

I didn't say that, I quite like some other automobiles, I actually like the look of my Skyline, I also happen to like the look of Supra's, Monaro's, De Tomasa's, Lotus's, GTHO's, Corvette's, '68 Mustangs, Transam's, Ferrari's, etc etc etc

Big wank, they hand out credos to a lot of cars, some [such as the Austin Marina] won many awards, didn't help them, they faded into a long forgotten history.........

 Peugeot have been World Rally Champions loads of times and are still leaders in that sport.

As are the Evo, the WRX, and the Corolla, but they don't own Nissan, so are not mentioned........................

You want innovation, try anything from just about any manufacturer, Cadillac, Jaguar, Lincoln, Ferrari, etc etc etc

Ya gotta be kiddin' me, remember apartheid, the french were one of the few nations that ignored it [unofficially]. Anyway, all I've ever seen in Africa was Landrovers, and they are a whole new novel...................................

The V35 still looks like a recycled Citreon, I have res-ponder-d [apologies for the spelling.]

Cheers.

unless they put a 5ltr, push rod, 2 valve per cylinder donk in the new skyline you'll never seen it run against the likes of v8 supercars, who cares anyway, already beat them at that game a few times, do you really need to embaress them again, they will just make a new formatt up again and rule the nissan out. thing i can't get my had around is they don't even run the V8's they sell there cars with!!!!!!

Personally I'm not sold on the new shape, looks like a maxima!

Hi I just got my hand on the v35 maxima look alike I am with you I don't go for the look at all But the rest of the car is sweet

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
