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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
