Top Secret Turns the V35 into a GTR

We couldn't wait...it's been 3 years since the last GT-R and it was time that the Skyline reclaimed it's place among cars. Top Secret has now decided to create a GT-R from the G35 to satisfy Nissan fans cravings for a new Monster Skyline.

The G35 platform was good enough for Smoky but apparently the displacement wasn't. Option was suprised to hear that the engine was coming from a very unsuspecting doner car...the Nissan Cima! A VK45 NA 4.5L V8 Engine was chosen as a good base to start with. The engine produces 280ps in stock form and the plans are to go to 800ps with forced induction and alot of Top Secret's specialty tuning.

Construction of this amazing vehicle requires alot of preparation and note-taking. Top Secret is famous for their amazing engine swaping and engineering skills. The high powered vehicle is intended to be created with a 4WD system to deliver the power effectively as well as the world's first wide body kit for the G35. This vehicle will also have a left hand drive sister project for Top Secret III for which details have yet to be released.

looking at the first 2 pictures, there are sticker on the left, but not the right of the car... then that reversed shot shows stickers on the right side, but backwards..

so it would appear to me that they just horizontally flipped the photo (ie, it really was the left side of the car)

can some1 tell me why they put the stickers on 1 side inside out?

Of course :(

The Japanese think symmetry and organisation are two of the most important things when presenting something... hence sushi 'bento boxes' all arranged nicely, company employees looking like clones of each other etc.

As for cars, it's all about the stickers on both sides matching pefectly... not whether they're readable or not. Remember, English isn't so important over there... you know, with the Japanese language and all :)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
