Ok im not saying that this car doesnt look nice....it just looks so much more different then what i expected.... even though i've only seen the proto-type. im sure its power makes up for the looks, i mean how many street cars that have a V8 with TT in them do you see everyday...

The V35 looks nothing like the “R” series of Skyline; instead it looks like a recipe for a 350z gone wrong. The V35 did not carry on the RB26DETT either, instead now powered by a V6 VQ35DE producing 298Hp @ 6,400rpm/260lb-ft torque @ 4,800rpm on the manual model and 280Hp @ 6,200rpm/270lb-ft torque @ 4,800rpm on the automatic all delivered onto a Rear Wheel Drive system. The V35 has also replaced the Circle-Shaped Rear Lights with an ‘L’ looking shape. Available as a Coupe or Sedan. This is were it gets hectic, there are a lot of V35 models; 250GTe, 250GT, 250GT P 250GT S, 250GT FOUR, 250GT FOUR P, 250GT FOUR S and 250GTm all came with a VQ25DD Engine. The 300GT, 300GT P and 300GT S all came with a VQ30DD. And lastly the 350GT-8 came with the VQ35DE.

There is also a V36, set for 2006 I think, cant remember. Anyways just read through The Next Skyline Section and you will get everything you need to know on the V35 and Next GTR

What tradition? This is what I don't get... Nissan release only 5 (!!11) platforms bearing the 'R' designation, yet people seem to think that GT-R = RB26 or R is synonimous with Skylines whatever...

I ask: What about the C10 and C110 GT-R's????

Are they not GT-Rs in the true sense, being that they were released BEFORE the R32/33/34?

If you wanna talk about GT-R tradition, tradition starts with a capitial C.

If you wanna talk about Skyline tradition, tradition starts with a capital A,B,S,C and R...

Cheers :rofl:

Rezz not arguing your point but I think for a lot of people the R series is the defining series of the skyline.

I'm 22 and certainly in my lifetime the skyline is symobolised by the R.

But your point is taken.. damn these love those C's in Japan dontthey!?

the R symbolises invincibility and i think that all skylines in the current series should have one. otherwise doesnt it kind of seem like the "V35" is being left out of the crowd?

kinda like me around here =P

but its not the same series at all. different engine different chassis(???spelling???) and different body. there is hardly anything that is the same except the name.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
