For anyone who has lived in Japan, or close to the scene, what do the japanese tuners think of the V35? There seems to be pretty limited application in terms of togue, drift and time attack from my limited research on YouTube/Internet.

It would seem they get no love compared to their predecessors?

A couple of interesting videos that I found:

Drift:

Time attack:

Not sure why the cryptic response.

Besides the turbo, which is what I assume you a referring to, the 32,33 and 34 are still cheap rear wheel drive coupes. V35s aren't that under powered compared to lightly modded rb's.

What is its predecessor? How is it similar?

Answer those questions and you would have the answer.

Just because they're not overly similar, doesn't mean the R-series chassis cars arn't the V35's predecessor.

They are closer to Z cars than Rs.

You're still missing the point. Irrespective of what they are more similar to, the R-chassis skylines are the predecessor.

This is off topic anyhoo.

only by name. if Carlos hadn't required the V35 to carry the 'skyline' name, no-one would have connected them to the r-series.

I think the tuning scene in Japan likely stuck with the r series skylines due to the extreme abundance of tuning options compared to what is available for the VQ engine. If they wanted something newer, they went to the 350z, which is lighter than the V35.

V-series played different roles for nissan compared to the R-chassis, no more GTR. They're more in the premium sports coupe segment, so even in Japan the fan base are quite different. I love v35 and v36s, very nice and smooth cars to drive, but they're just not that quick and not easy and cheap to mod.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
