R35 Vs V35!!

[jcsaleen]

As far as performance goes how big is the difference goin to be between the V35 and the R35.

V35


R35

[flylwsi]

considering that an r35 doesn't exist...
hmm...
not very close.

[jcsaleen]

Not yet anyway but soon. Just wanted to know if any 1 had the DL on the r35.

The 'R35' GT-R should be quite a bit faster than the V35, or even the R34 GT-R.

Even at the most conservative power estimate of 400hp(other estimates as high as 470hp+), the 'R35' will be a big performer. The VQ motor in the GT-R might be about 3.2L. The newer VQ motors supposedly have a closed deck, and they have always had iron cylinder liners. Combine this with Cosworth preparing a special version for the GT-R, and the tunability should be just about as good, if not better than the RB26. It should eclipse the R34 GT-R in just about every area, considering the V35s already surpass the R34 in some respects.

The next GT-R will be FM based, but the variant of that chassis is up in the air at the moment. It could use the CPV35 Skyline/G35 Coupe's variant, which is about 10 inches longer than the Z33 Fairlady/350Z. There is also a rumor of the GT-R using an even longer FM variant, dubbed the 'FR-L,' or 'Front-engine, Rear-drive, Large.' The upcoming Nissan Fuga/Infiniti M35/45 will be using this chassis.

The 'R35' GT-R is supposed to be targeting the Porsche 911, probably the Turbo model, so you know it will be fast.

I believe the "R35" you show in your top post is a concept car that was NEVER production. Actually I thought that was a GTR concept for what the R34 was going to look like before they ended up with the body style that they chose (duh).
As far as R35 vs. V35, I was under the impression that the R was for RB motors (i6's) and the V was for the V (V6 and V8??) series engines. Now I'm not sure, but I thought the x35 (X being a variable their folks) skylines ALL have V oriented piston arrangements, even the GTR.

from http://www.jbskyline.net/V35/GTR/Print/
"The engine choice is still much of a speculation. Rumors vary between turbo-charged V6 and V8 or normally aspirated V8 (at least for international markets), which are expected to produce between 335hp and 450hp. Unfortunately, the days of the fabulous RB26-DETT appear to be counted, but at least the new car will continue to use ATTESA, the GT-R’s computer-controlled all-wheel-drive system. New for the coming GT-R will be variable damping control for the suspension and a paddle-shift six-speed gearbox."

So if the x35 GTR has a V engine in it I don't think they would call it an R35. Also I think that the x35's will no longer use any RB engines so what, "Not yet anyway but soon. Just wanted to know if any 1 had the DL on the r35" is about, I have NO idea what you are talking about, please clarify.

What makes you say R35?
do you think the x35 skylines will feature an RB engine? if so... what makes you think that.
do you think that nissan will call the GTR an R35 just for fucks sake? again... what makes you think that... I just have NO idea where you are coming from with this R35 stuff and think I speak for many people when I say that.

DL means the down low. Its like saying whats the scoop ect...

[jcsaleen]

Thanks Vquick

Appreciate it geez I didnt know the new r35 was gonna be sucha jump in hp. 470 that should be fun.

[my3rdskyline]

i know what DL means, i'm talking about your reference to an "R35"

Those where just the roomers and it makes sense the r34 model is out and there have been 2 other models b 4 it the r33 & the r32. So what most people have been talking about is the new skyline model of nissans choice will be named the r35.

That would be the logical name for it would't it.

The black car is a very old photoshopped speculative image of what the 'R35' could look like. It started out as an R34.

No. The chassis designation is unrelated to the powerplant. The R-series Skylines began with the R30 in 1981, which used the L20ET I6. The RB motors didn't come along until 1986, in the R31.
The same is true with the Fairlady Z. The 300ZX used the Z31 and Z32 designations, and were powered by VG30 engines. The new 350Z uses a VQ35, yet it is still called the Z33.
The S13 Silvias used the CA18 at first, but the designation remained unchanged when the SR20 was introduced.
The Sentras have used the 'B' designation for a long time, up to the current B15. They have used a variety of different engines, like the CA, GA, SR, QG, and QR.

What makes you say R35?

Nissan will probably keep the 'R' designation for the sake of tradition, and possibly marketing as well. The designation has been used for nearly 25 years, and it would be foolish to throw away such a heritage. Hiroshi Tamura, the product planner for the next GT-R, was also in charge of the R34, so he will probably do all he can to stay true to the GT-R heritage while still improving the breed.

My personal reason for believing that the GT-R will be called the 'R35' is that the Skyline and GT-R names were supposed to be separated. If this is the case, Nissan had a problem. Two different models, and only one designation, right? That meant they needed to create a new one. That is probably where the 'V' came from. The 'R' is likely being kept in reserve for the GT-R.

Very good info vquick. I was just thinking that the R3x was related in some way to the engines being inline 6's. although I know this does not fit for the R32 skyline GXi. Either way I guess there are no rules and nissan can call the cars whatever the fuck they want for no reason at all.

But the V35 series skylines (which I see like 5 of everyday here in okinawa) are "V35" skylines correct???

Do you have any factual information saying that nissan will make the GTR an "R35".

I know on there japanese site they are making the GT-R more of a separate category now. on the old site it was in the Skyline section as the cream of the crop, now it's it's own thing.
Basicly, this is the first I've heard on anyone ever calling the new skyline an R35 and I would like to know where the idea came from.

[oi_boy]

i was always under the impression the r and v came from the chassis cods. HNR31's BNR32's-34's and the new v35 chassis. thats probably wrong but thats just my impression.

[Moppie]

Holly shit!

Oi_boy got something right!


Its just a chassis code, who really gives a fuck.
Its could be anything Nissan wants it to be, and is not a name you will see used in any of thier marketing or sales info.

LOL so does anyone know the chassis code from the x35 GTR? I have yet to see any evidence that it is R35 instead of V35.
