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 :)

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
