2004 Nissan Fairlady Z GT500. More then likely using the same powerplant that the Skyline GT-R used last year, the VQ35. The car basically picks up right where the Skyline GT-R left off, with only aero differences.

I'm not sure if the Fairlady Z in GT300 class will be back again this year.

i like the skyline better because of the awd, but this is not bad

I kinda liked the skyline too, i'm not a fan of the new Z.

I think the JGTC skylines were converted to RWD. It's still a prettier car than the Z.

What are the specs on the car? That rear bumper looks like it creates hella drag. . .

[jpatino03]

Hella Nor*Cal style!

500hp VQ35 Turbocharged V6, same specs basically as the old Nissan Skyline GT-R used in GT500.

And yes, AWD is banned in JGTC, all cars are RWD.

GTR is still my pick any cay over the z
but in the JGTC cars mechanicly identical except for the body shell
sad to c the R34 fassed out though but R35 will destroy all :!:

that butt looks as if its looking at you in a devilish way. kinda like having eyes at the back of the head.

looks good tho

yeah it looks nice, but I liked the old skyline more, that was a huge car, very bad ass, this one is more puppy - like compare to that.
Are there any major changes for the 2004 nsx btw?

Yes, it is sad that Nissan would bring the Skyline production to a hault, but, its place shall soon be taken back up in '07 with a new Skyline. Long wait, but for any Z fan, the new Z wasn't ever in the future when the 300 stopped production.
As for wolf in sheeps clothing, have you looked at the Infinity G35 AWD, same AWD platform as the R34 :roll:

[The359]

The Nissan Skyline never stopped production. Only the Skyline GT-R. They merely switched from the Nissan Skyline to the Nissan Fairlady Z because even though they are identical cars, the Fairlady Z is sportier, while the Skyline is a luxury car.

[dragula_bassman]

Thanks for the info, I was under the impression that the full Skyline production had stopped.

Oouf, the Z will be hot! Too bad the Nissan Factory cars don't do as well as some other!

[taz520]

skylines are still selling. our infiniti G35 is called the nissan skyline in japan.

[SamuraiGti]

I like more the Skyline.

Oouf, the Z will be hot! Too bad the Nissan Factory cars don't do as well as some other!

You do know the NISMO Skyline GT-R won the single car and team championship, right? :roll:

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Oohoohhoohohoh, Thats hotttt, at first I didn't liked the Z, but damn that looks like
a fast car, except for the huge spoiler.
