I'm going to purchase a V35 Skyline Coupe in the new year sometime, and I just wanted to know what SAU thought of it?

I realize you guys probably haven't seen one in the flesh, let alone drive one, but what do you think of it overall? A step in the right direction?

I used to loathe this car, but since I made a few contacts in the car auction industry here (therefore opening up oportunities to seriously consider a V35), I really had good look at them, even having a ride in one yesterday. I didn't drive it myself (but thats cool because it was an AT anyway...) but from the passenger seat I could really see what Nissan are trying to do with the Skyline now... High Performance All-round GT perfection!!! Seriously, the ride, handling, seamless acceleration, and the fit/finish of the car is nothing short of awesome. It felt like a "big" coupe, but not in a bad way like some people say of the R33.

The V35 is quality all the way. The guy who was driving took it to redline once or twice, and only stomped on the brakes once, but from that I can only conclude that this car is like the R34s GT-Ts big brother. Seriously.

I WANT TO MODIFY ONE.

its definately looks like a 350z side on, a Bluebird front on, and rear? kinda looks like that old r35 prototype pictures they released

i dont like it, but its not bad either

Not a worthy successor to the R34 if you ask me

2007 people.

That black one slammed on the Te37's isn't bad.

I think Nissan are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Renault and this move towards N/A cars with their rounded styling isn't exactly to my liking.

I think the family resemblance thing is going too far. It's too bad a leap for me really.

You can sorta see the progression from 32-33-34 but just like how the 32 was something quantum over the 31 maybe given time, we'll see the 35 in the same way.

Just not right now in 2003!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
