topSecretCustomerV35Skyline.JPG

Owww man, i never knew they have already released the next skyline, a dam maxima / 350z clone... That car looks great.... for a luxury car, not a skyline!

Maxima's are great for an older driver wanting comfort, but for the skyline to be another maxima. That's stupid. F#ck renault. The G35 Isnt even a bloody turbo is it? + it's a V6... It's lost everything about Godzilla.

Are they going to release an r35 too? Coz i've seen the mad looking concepts of that one.

geno8r: Do a seach before posting dude! I must admit, when I saw the thread title I thought "oh no, here we go again..."

The forum is called "The Next Skyline", but that means the V36 Skyline + GT-R, not the V35 (you probably know that now so I'll shuddup)

Regardless of the next skyline V36 or whatever... that doesnt change anything about my original post, its a dam maxima. & an r35 like in the pics would be sweet.

But if you did a search before posting you would realise that, a. there is no such thing as an R35, and b. Those two gt-r concept pictures have been doing the rounds for 4+ years and won't look anything like them.

F#ck renault, how could they kill godzilla, the r32, 33, & 34 have been the best series of skylines ever, bit of shame if there isnt ever going to be an r35 which it seems.

ausgtr I never said there was going to be an r35, i asked if there was going to be one?

Quote Post #1 "Are they going to release an r35 too?"

Yes, i thought those pics looked like an r35 concept, they surely look like a progression of the r34, what are those concepts then, to what model name were those concepts called then? Those image filenames are labelled r35, & when i did a search on r35, that’s what came up. Would you not agree that the concept does not best resemble what a possible r35 could be?

:P

geno8r: do a search, and read some of the material thats been posted in this forum already. I assure you if you had read some of the threads about the next GT-R, you wouldn't be asking these questions.

The next GT-R is going to be the first of the next *generation* GT-R, so it's highly unlikely that they'll keep using the "R" prefix... although as Carlos Ghosn is a wannabe tryhard sportscar enthusiast bean counter, anythings still possible at this stage.

AS for those "concept" pics you posted, they aren't concepts pics.... they're just photochops put together by some Chinese graphic design Uni student about 4 years ago.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
