thanks for your reply;

also, what do the following Skyline terms mean: BNR34, BNR33, etc...

Thanks again.

Those are basically model numbers. The R33 and R34 are the series of car. R32 was produced 89-93, R33 was produced 93-98 I think, and the R34 is the current new shape. Then there is the R35(or V35 depending on who you believe). Between those model numbers is a relatively large change in car design, as you will see if you look at pics of the R32, R33 and R34.

The BN section denotes sub models of the series. The BN usually means it is a GT-R model. So as an example the BNR34 is the R34(latest shape) GT-R. there are others such as HCR32, which is the R32 GTS-t (the 2L turbo rear wheel drive model from 89-93).

does that make sense?

Thats not another rumor about new skyline. I heard of it on AutoWeek too. I'll try to get pictures. If i'll find them, I'll post them.

Ok since no matter what happens this car will be way out of my price range when I grow old enough to have my own car. Will the R32-R34 GT-R go down in price from the current numbers from Motorex. If a decent condition R32 GT-R is about $30k. I figure by the time I get older it will sink to maybe $20k-$25k. Or since they will become extremely rare will the price go up? Also does anyone know about the tuning potential of the new GT-R's engine?

If you go here it shows the GTR concept, but it isn't anything that we haven't seen before. Wipdeedoo. It's still a concept.

i don't see the r32-r34 going down in price, b/c of the fact that it's not available here, and has to be legalized by motorex.

and besides, and r32 would already be cheaper than the new r35.

however, the technology is about 10 yrs old... you get what you pay for...

[flylwsi]

and i'm not putting the r32 down in anyway, but the technology and the parts are all around 10 years old, so you've got to deal with a 10 yr old car as opposed to a brand new one...

that's all i was saying there... not that the r32 is a bad car, i know better than that...

[R34 GT-R SKYLINE]

That's the only problem the $$$ these cars cost. The R32 is about the only thing I can see myself buying as a car when I get my liscence as all the other GT-R's are way more expensive and I also want one that has high tunability so the first thing that pops into my head is the RB26DETT. My first car is probably gonna be a used Civic anyways. I just love the Skyline so much and I want one so badly. Maybe I can find a decent deal on a used R35? That is when it comes out. I hope Nissan doesn't pin too high of a $ tag on it.

thats just the Skyline/G35.

The GT-R is a different entity alltogether. Have a look through the thread to see many concepts images and some closer to life ones too.

Autocar Magazine in the UK has pictures of the new GT-R

The drop of the Skyline name seems to be official now, the GT-R is based on the 350Z framework.

400BHP, V6 TT, 4WD (same principle as R34 GT-R)

Will be released in all major areas (I think) in 2005 and 2006

There is a small picture at:
http://www.autocarmagazine.co.uk/

I'll see about getting some images scanned for you all (unless someone beats me to it!)

[flylwsi]

i'm pretty sure that's the concept pic that's been around for a while...

the rest is pretty true... ttv6 awd... 400hp...

there's details on the motor, which i've mentioned, in the jgtc forum.

[R34 GT-R SKYLINE]

It sounds like a really nice package I wish they would change the front with those ugly vertical headlights. Why can't they spend the time to make nice headlights that will actually look good or take the R-34's I have no problem there. I like the rest of the car

[pherik]

From the pics in the magazine (it's a full 'exclusive' article) it looks to be a different car than the GT-R concept.

Excuse my ignorance: jgtc ?
