^^^ Thats some guys Photoshop that he did himself using an Audi concept car base or something.

The current Skyline is called V35. It's a complete generation change, so calling it R35 is incorrect. V36 is the next Skyline (in development) but magazines in Japan admit that V36 is still yet to be confirmed and that the next 2006 Skyline could be known as V35 but have an extra digit or letter eg: VH35, BV35 or something like that.

It doesnt bear enough resembelance to the good looking beasts that preceded it but I still think it's a cool looking car. BTW It's not Photoshop, could be a 3D mock created in 3D max or something but it looks more like a mule or perhaps even a clay model.

Just because the original magazine (Speed was it?) printed it and said it was a photoshop, doesnt mean it was, it just measn the editor was technically inempt and thinks every "graphic" ever made was done in photoshop.

^^^ but hat doesn't mean it real either! Seriously, didn't it ever seem to you that an *uncovered* and almost showroom ready car like that one above breaking cover almost 3 years before it's scheduled release was a bit.. no REALLY strange?

There are pics flying around the 'net of the Audi concept car that that 'R35 GTR' was based on... clear as day. And the (German?) guy who did it has done 4 or 5 other photochops of GT-Rs and other sports cars too.

If thats a real car, you'd see multiple angles of it...just like the GT-R test mule spotted at the Nurburgring. Remeber that? Now THATS real.

the current skyline is the V35. Although what you have pictured is actully the GTR concept.

The G35 is bassically the same car released in the as the V35 released in america. although is not called a skyline and i think has a few differences although i am not sure on this so feel free to correct me.

doesnt mean it wasnt either.....

and it wouldnt be 3D studio max in the first place like you said, coz if it was made up in 3D studio max they'd be able to provide different angles n such.... ( being a 3D program and all ), that photo is definitely a photochop, i've worked with both programs heaps before and its simple to tell the difference.

theres a V35 GTR in GT4.... it guns lol :P

ok, so since the 2 pix i opsted before were the V35 G-R CONCEPT, then can someone post me the pic of The V35? because of what i heard the Skyline V35 is called the Infiniti G35 in North America (that sucks) and as the Skyline V35 in JAPAN.

No no no... listen to me :), you're getting confused by these other guys.

The pics you posted weren't of the 'V35' GT-R concept, they were of the 'GT-R Concept'. There won't be a V35 GT-R per se, but a completely different model seperate from the current (or next) Skyline.

In fact the next GT-R will be a stand alone model marketed as an Infiniti! So the top sports car offered by 'Nissan' will remain the Fairlady (350)Z.

So the current Skyline is the V35?

is this the current skyline (v35)?

V35%20GT-R%20Concept%20top%20rear%20left%20night.jpg

And why are people saying that the Infiniti G35 is the current Skyline?

1) Yes, the current Skyline is the V35

2) No that isn't the V35 above, it's the GT-R Concept.

3)People say that the G35 is the current Skyline because it's exactly the same car, except that the G35 is sold through Infiniti (Nissans upmarket brand) and has different badges and maybe a few minor trim differences... thats it.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
