Hi guys!

I hope you are doing well ;]

Just found an interesting article when I was doing some reading on a Japanese discussion forum (2ch) about Skyline Coupe V35.

Some guy posted a link where a journalist took some pictures of one of the first test car of the R35 GTR in one of Nissan's service centre in Japan.

The car is pretty much a GTR, but with the looks of the CPV35. Some of the parts on the concept car such as the brakes, exhaust and sound system was used in the

finalised version of the GTR.

I wish Nissan produced a slightly tuned up version of the CPV35 and make a "female" (one of the designer of the GTR described it as a muscular male) version of the GTR! haha

Source of the pics (sorry in Japanese):

Air duct on the bonnet to cool down the turbo system.

Inside the engine bay is pretty similar to the GTR.

The steering wheel on the left I don't know... Just used a G35 that they got from Germany to test in the Nurburgring? Not sure..

This is not the concept car but the test car even before then made the concept car. I assume Nissan developed the Premium Midship Platform from these testing with the CPV35 and created the concept car that they launched. Just speculation sorry..

Didn't they use the V35 body during testing of the R35 drive train? Because the R35 body was still being built/tweaked?. So this was probably just one of their 'test' builds. It was never going to be a production build.

According the the article on the link, this test car is using the same/similar AWD system as in the GTR.

And yes, this was just going to be a test car before they finalised making the body of the GTR so they never planned to make a

GTR version of the CPV35. After they were done with the body design of the GTR, Nissan started developing it on the Nurburgring and pretty much never touched this CPV35-GTR test car again.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      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.
