yeah, i know there 18's, as I posted it. It's a prefaq really, but the car since it has no name, its just going to be like that for now. Later on, ill change the title for sure.
19's man... 19's...

Hell, even the V35 Coupe Series 2 has 19" rims on it...

but calling it an R35 in a FAQ goes against the reason for havin a FAQ, which is to educate people. In fact you should have a question in the FAQ regarding its nomenclature as one of the first things as that's one of the MOST frequently asked questions.

the R in GTR DOES NOT translate to the R in R35. We all KNOW that its gonna be called a V35 or something OTHER than an R35, so why peddle to the masses. Tell it like it is and don't just help spread popular misbelief.... in other words... make a FAQ :D

oh, another typo. thanks for noticing rezz, i misintrepeted what you posted. So, you think it to be better to call it 2007 GTR. I guess so, you know...ill change it lol. Why not, ill change it in notepad later on, right now im very busy. Just checking up on the forums. :D

Rezz, anything new from that automag you read, I forgot what it's called, autoexpress right??

Do they post updates every month, or on occasion? :cheers:

why you guy's so harsh? At least its something, im sure it will answer some questions, and even if it is wrong, its not far off from the truth. The specs must be close enough.
We're not harsh... it's funkymonkey who's harsh :) hahaha

So, why do you basically use everything else originating from Japan thats been posted about the next GT-R, then use an invented chassis designation for it? It just seems out of wack. I've never called it R35 for a reason. I'm the last person that'll perpetuate things that (ordinary - with no contacts whatsoever) people just assume it will be called. I've posted up in easy to understand English with pics how Nissan go about naming chassis etc, and for all intents and purposes, the "R" designatin is dead. Ok? Please call it "Next GT-R" or "2007 GT-R" or I'll make my own updated FAQ and sticky it... theres 2 conflicting ideas at play here that shouldn't happen on one of the best Skyline sites.

Do you even have a Skyline?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
