The upcoming "R35" GT-R is not the Infiniti G35. The Infiniti G35 is the US equivalent of the V35-chassis Skyline GT350
sedan, not the GT-R. There is a Skyline GT250 as well, but there is no US market equivalent. The Infiniti G35 Coupe is the US version of the CPV35 Skyline GT350 Coupe.
[quote]so basically a skyline gtr r34 and an infinity g35 coupe are exactly the same in every aspect of the engine?[quote]
No. The R34 Skyline GT-R, discontinued in 2002, was powered by the RB26DETT I6, also discontinued in 2002. The V35 and CPV35 Skylines use the VQ25DE and VQ35DE V6.

if they really are the same then that means the g35 can take as much boost punishment as a r34 can....I.E. TURBOS PLUS NOS W/O BLOWIN THE ENGINE. IF SO THATS PRETTY COOL AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO ALL ID HAVE TO DO TO MAKE IT LIKE THE SKYLINE IS ADD THE TWIN TURBOS AND THEYD HAVE THE SAME POWER?

The VQs are aluminum block motors, and primarily intended for normal aspiration duty(read: high compression ratios). Thus, they cannot normally handle as much boost as the iron block RBs. However, they are versatile enough to be turbocharged and make the same, if not more, power than the RB26DETT up to a point.
The VQ25DET used in the Stagea wagon already matches the RB26DETT's rating of '276hp.' The VQ30DET from the Cedric/Gloria twins has the same rating of course, but exceeds it further. The VQ35DE matches the RB26DETT's rating while normally aspirated.

I HOPE THEY MAKE UP FOR IT PERFORMANCE WISE!!!!!!!!

You've got Hiroshi Tamura's word on it. He was resposible for the R34 GT-R as well, so you know he'll pull through. According to him, the GT-R will take an even bigger leap than Ferrari made from F355 to the F360M, or the Porsche 993 to the 996.

It is not a rumor. If you live in the US and don't have an R34 already, you may not be getting one for some time.
