the new skyline

[ridebmx]

what i know of the new skyline is that the reason that they are putting it under the the infiniti badge is so it will/can get to the US

it's been said to come out in 2005-2007 so im not really sure

the only thing I dont like about the concept is that it's not going to look like the r32/33/34 is goin to be a cross-breed of the g35 and the 350z
i saw the pic of the concept awhile ago, it might have changed now

hopefully it will still have the RB motor in (personal opinion)

[ridebmx]

i also heard on the nissan forum pages(nico or something like that) that the g35 has the same motor as the skylines which is a rb motor
i was just wondering is this true

[nitrous36]

I have heard the same and I think so.

[nismo_power]

this is the most retarded shit ive ever heard. we know this info. jesus christ, it is already in the US as the infiniti G35, and the reason they arent marketing it as a nissan is because its more of a luxury sports car now, instead of just performance oriented. weve been over this over and over again. i hate these kids in here that come in and think they know all this crap we dont. and no...it wont be an RB motor because then it wont be US legal.

Don't forget people won't readily pay $50k+ for a Nissan. Nissan already tried that in the past with the R34 GT-R in the UK, and it didn't work. They didn't even sell all of the 50 cars they had set aside for that year in the UK(only 44). People spent a few hundred Pounds more and bought more than double that number of 911s instead...every month.

it wont be an RB motor because then it wont be US legal.

Not to mention the RB's been dead for over two years.

i figured those reasons were just a given!! but i guess i should have realized the person i was talking to was....a few tacos short of a combo plate.

[ridebmx]

very funny! i was just trying to state my opinion and askoing a simple ass question
and your the one who is a fucking moron for geting an attitude for a simple statement

[ridebmx]

and also the G35 is just like the 350Z you fucking retard

[AvAlAnChE1090]

UH OH! edit your post before he sees this

[jmrev]

Why get all mad? You should of read some of the past threads. I started one like this, Its called GTR, its in the next page.

[AvAlAnChE1090]

Don't you ever start that thread ever again, we'll discuss it again for 10+ pages.

If by 'just like' you mean 'rides on a completely different version of the chassis,' then yes.

[jmrev]

it might have the same engine, but that doesnt make it the same. Think about this: A Celica GTS has the 2zzge engine, so does the Corolla XRS, not the same car. VQuick is very correct.

[ridebmx]

ok my bad i do know that it has a diff chassis but i was talkin motor wise

[jmrev]

same engine, different small differences.
