So... my V35 Skyline Coupe was delayed... and was supposed to arrive in Adelaide today... and that got me thinking!

I remember when my cousin owned a Series II V35 Skyline 350GT Coupe and when he started up the car, every time a Japanese female voice would say something...

I just wanted to know how many other V35 owners out there have a Skyline with this same feature?

Was it available on all V35 Skyline's or just the 350GT Coupes?

Also... what does she say? ...I always found this small 'JDM' aspect of the car quite cool...

Well what a surprise, when I start up my V35 Skyline 350GT Coupe (Premium) the sexy Japanese voice plays, and she says hello :)

I assume you have the Nav DVD?

Any chance of uploading an ISO or something somewhere? Struggling to source a copy myself.

Mine does it I have a 350gt premium. Before I got the sat nav and all the rest coverted to English when a door wasn't closed properly the sexy Japanese voice would come on assuming to tell me to close the door and also if the foot brake was on while driving shed pester me again.

But unfortunately when I got the sat nav converted it doesn't do it anymore but it still welcomes me when I start the car up :) it's great when someone jumps in because they are like WTF??

I've tried to get a voice translator app to find out what she says but it never works

Can someone clarify if this is only for series 2+? Cheers

One of those Chris Rogers questions. Last post I recall from him is you need to have the Nav DVD in the DVD drive. Sikahalv said he has the voice and it is a 2003 model which is series 1.

Confirmed - Sexy Female Japanese Voice = Turning engine on, within approx 15 seconds - 2003 V35 Skyline 350GT Coupe Premium (Series 1 + BOSE... No Sat Nav, No DVD, No Nissan Wings)

Have not heard her under any other conditions.

This was (before this thread) one of the most unspoken about topics re: V35 Skyline quirks on the Internets! (yes, all of them)

I'm glad we got people talking about this - so we can learn more about her :)

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
