Hi guys!

I hope you are doing well ;]

Just found an interesting article when I was doing some reading on a Japanese discussion forum (2ch) about Skyline Coupe V35.

Some guy posted a link where a journalist took some pictures of one of the first test car of the R35 GTR in one of Nissan's service centre in Japan.

The car is pretty much a GTR, but with the looks of the CPV35. Some of the parts on the concept car such as the brakes, exhaust and sound system was used in the

finalised version of the GTR.

I wish Nissan produced a slightly tuned up version of the CPV35 and make a "female" (one of the designer of the GTR described it as a muscular male) version of the GTR! haha

Source of the pics (sorry in Japanese):

Air duct on the bonnet to cool down the turbo system.

Inside the engine bay is pretty similar to the GTR.

The steering wheel on the left I don't know... Just used a G35 that they got from Germany to test in the Nurburgring? Not sure..

This is not the concept car but the test car even before then made the concept car. I assume Nissan developed the Premium Midship Platform from these testing with the CPV35 and created the concept car that they launched. Just speculation sorry..

Didn't they use the V35 body during testing of the R35 drive train? Because the R35 body was still being built/tweaked?. So this was probably just one of their 'test' builds. It was never going to be a production build.

According the the article on the link, this test car is using the same/similar AWD system as in the GTR.

And yes, this was just going to be a test car before they finalised making the body of the GTR so they never planned to make a

GTR version of the CPV35. After they were done with the body design of the GTR, Nissan started developing it on the Nurburgring and pretty much never touched this CPV35-GTR test car again.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
