What happened to the car above? Will we ever see it? Can someone clear me up on the two models above? What is going on? Which one will we see? Is one the GTR and one the Skyline or is the first one thrown out? HELP ME!

Well I'm sure the R35 will come in the normal models, GTS, GTR ect. It will look somthing like that pic, which is the concept. But, like all concepts, it will probly change some.

well what about the G35??? Isnt that supposed to be the Skyline? It loox nothing like that concept pic??? I also heard that there will be no GTR or GTS. PLUS I heard that it is not called the R35, it is the V35 and the 35 is for 3.5 L.

Ah ok, I see what you getting at. Ok, the current production skyline is the V35. It is sold in four models, GT, GT-P, GT-S and GTe. They are powered by the VQ25DD producing 215hp and 275Nm from 2.5l of displacement, as well as the VQ30DD, with 260hp and 330Nm from 3.0l. I'm not sure which powerplant is in which model, look at Nissan Japan if you want to know. It is sold here as an Infinity G35.

Mmmm Red :licker:




Nice eh?

Now the next Skyline GTR (possibly just called the GTR) will be comming in 2004. As for what it will be called, who knows Ghosn has said that the suspension will be based on the R34 M-spec and M-specNUr. Power in excess of 400ps:alien: You've probly heard the speculation on what the powerplant will be, most think it will be a V8. Now I don't like the idea of the RB series engine going by the wayside, but if this V8 is small, high reving, and responsive, I'll be happy. If it is a good platform for forced induction, I'll be in 7th heaven But I suppose we will just have to wait and see. In the mean time I'll work on that R33 GTS-4 that I can actually afford

I like it, some don't, but I just look at it as another car, not a Skyline
