G 35 Skyline

I was driving with my wife Friday night and saw a G 35 with skyline on the back instead of Infiniti, what a homo, the G 35 is not the new skyline, the skyline stopped production in 03 and the new Skyline will not be out untill 07. I put this on DSMtalk, one guy said the G35 is sold as the skyline in Japan, (WRONG!!! Infiniti is not sold in Japan ) The G 35 is not AWD Turbo like the true skyline.

If you do not know what the hell your talking about dont waste bandwidth

OMMG . Where do you live, Is it in Black??
I know a guy who has done that to his car. And he is a homo I'm supposed to race him sometime when he gets new rubber.
I think im going to go snap a picture of his car now that I think of LOL. You guys will see LOL, it even has infinity on the seats still.

LOL, Let me know whaen you beat him.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but not ALL skylines are turbo. Only the Skyline GTR are the beefed up ones. I'm pretty sure that the G35 is sold as the Skyline in Japan under the Nissan name.

The G35 is the skyline of japan and the new skyline that will be introduced in america will look striking similar to the current g35, so get your facts straight before you start calling other people wrong

:owned:

lol, it happens man. at least your not getting all pissy that someone corrected you, like a lot of people do on here.

also the godzilla coming to the states will likely be boasting a TT 4L V8 with an advanced awd system and a 6 speed manual kind of like the top seceret one featured in superstreet a while back

^ but that "Godzilla" will cost $70K (i would rather get a vette)

I doubt there will be any issue with sales since its the first time it will be sold in the US. Also the supra is most likely making a comeback as well as a few others

AWD 4g63T Eclipse :thumbsup: Maybe by like 2020 they'll realize how sweet of a platform it is.

yeah no kidding

Damn I hate to admit Im wrong, I just looked up on Wikipedia, that they use the name Skyline for the G 35. I did read though that the Skyline ended its production in 03, but according to Wikipedia it didnt. That makes no sense, but I guess Nissan dosent have to make sense, they can do whatever they want to sell cars. So I take back what I say.

If you really want to argue I can go dig out the issue of modified that tells what american cars are called in japan. On the top of the list is the american G35 coupe known in japan as a skyline

skyline is AWD ?

not all were awd and not all were turbo

Yeah, they've definitely upped the ante. In other news, the new "supra" will be sold under the Lexus nameplate and will be called something else (LF-A? what a retarded name. what happened to all the cool names? they can design a bad-ass car, but don't have the creative decency to name it something equally intimidating...LF-A sounds like somthing Cartman would come up with) ofcourse, but that thing has a massive price-tag on it too...


So, we got the Supra, Challenger,and Camaro coming back, the Skyline in the mix, even the return of the RX-7 (not to be confused with the current RX-8). If only Mitsu decided to go nuts and bring back a retardedly over-powered TT VR-4, in all it's non-profitability glory, than we'd be talking ;) [oh boy, am I gonna get it for that one].

over powered maybe but it has a fat ass to go with it

Nicest fat ass I've ever seen next to the 2g's. :D:

good point

Some. IIRC, they were all I6's but some as low as 2.0L, and some were RWD others were AWD. Also, some were 4dr, some 2dr.

My uncle did that to his car. He just swapped the lettering and put "SKYLINE" on the back instead. Also, some G35s are AWD. (Called the G35x)

your correct but the 2.0L was an I6 lol it was the rb20det then they got the rb26dett and I think mots were availble in a sedan. I'm only refering to 87 to present before 87 none were turbo'd and all rwd

actually your pretty wrong about the new skyline. it is not based off the g35 and will not look anything like it at all. it is going to use a 3.5l twin turbo system putting out around 450hp. it will be all wheel drive and in the price range of 70-80k they have shots of it on nissans website and they have a couple already done and have been tested

IMO the new concept looks alot like the G35 and I was refering to the top seceret skyline with the TTV8 The new one is supposed to have the VQ35 g35 motor

alright DSM freaks, let a nissan guy break it down.
The new Skyline is on a completely new platform not shared with any other models currently, the 2 possible engines they are experimenting with are a bored and twin turbocharged VQ38DETT(VQ35 variant) or possibly a V8 in the 4L+ range, although it will most likely be the 6 cylinder. They are shooting for compitition in the 911 turbo range with a price tag no lower than 70K. and as of right now they are shooting for a late 07 release as an 08. Oh, and it is awd, supposedly an updated HICAS system tuned and tested by Lotus' engineers.

Reguarding the V8 thing, I watched on some TV show or read in a magazine that the new versions of past import supercars could possibly going to V8's. Like he said, the skyline is one and the other that stands out in my mind is the Supra. With the new versions of old muscle cars, imports getting V8's, and domestic "tuner" cars (ie the SS S/C Cobalt and the SRT4) the dividing lines between import and domestic are fading and I think will eventually be gone.

Boo HICAS.

Anyway.. many people don't accept the G35 to be a real Skyline, although the chassis does hold the nameplate, it does not hold the prestigious GT R emblem.

I'm personally afraid of what might come out of Japan in the next few years. Although they will be very fast -- no doubt -- what ever happened to the good old days about driving skill and tuning your car to retarded amounts of power and kicking your fender in when you get pissed off at your car for not wanting to cooperate lol. Oh well, I just hope the drivers aren't going to be assholes on the road :(
