Ok so it's a V36, only new to the Skyline world so please excuse my ignorance. Is this style of boot lip available for a V35 or is it a photoshopped figment of someones imagination.

Cheers Dean.

Hi Dean,

That chrome boot lip is only available for a V36 (I think it's an optional thing from Japan).

For V35 coupe, there are a few options (INGS, IMPUL, VERTEX, etc.) or like in this one (Photo of red V35 coupe rear view). (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...;hl=rear+bumper). Steve (CRISP 35) will know more about that moulded boot lip.

Dean - I think the chrome boot lip is the Standard fitment on the JDM 370GT, and the full length spoiler is an Optional extra.

Here is a 'real' pic of rear of my car.

There may eventually be chrome lips available for sale as aussie owners upgrade to full spoilers. A plus for V35 owners is that there is a rear camera hole built into both spoilers. Peter

^Yeah I'm pretty sure the chrome lip was standard on all V36 models (coupe and sedan) and there is another body coloured lip type spoiler which can be fitted over the chrome. By the way, nice set of wheels :(

Thanks Victor,I couldn't get this link to work. I have seen the error of my ways, the two boot lids are completely different and after closer inspection, I don't see any way they would be interchangeable. I am being a bit premature my car is still on a boat from Japan. Thanks for the feed back and suggestions guys I will keep looking for something that takes my eye.

You are welcome, Dean.

With the V36 chrome boot lip, I am pretty sure you won't be able to put it straight on the V35 coupe or sedan as the boot shape is different (Unless you modify it to fit).

I suggest, have a look around first and do research before rushing into buying all sorts of things. That way you don't spend money on things you can't use or don't like after a while. Also, keep an eye on "For Sale" section on SAU and you can grab a good bargain sometimes.

By the way, are you getting the coupe or sedan? Which state are you from?

Any questions, post them up as there are lots of experienced owners on SAU that can help.

Good luck.

Thanks Victor,

From SA and I'm getting a 2004 70th Anniversary Coupe. There are some photos of the car before it was shipped in the Gallery section.

Hi Dean,

Yes, I saw your V35 photos already. Looks very mint.

If you got any questions, please feel free to post them up as there will be someone to help you out on SAU.

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
