^^^ 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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
