Nice scan! Ive been wanting to read something about the new skyline. I like the G35, the engine has a great tone to it.

possessed_beaver 02-13-2004 06:43 AM

it's not the new skyline as such.
in japan they have heaps of skyline's...
they are like the normal 3 series beemers, and the GTR models are like the "m" series, so it's not rely a skyline as such...
it's rwd and auto.....

Really loved the styling on the 350Z, altough I didn't understand anything of it's GPS/Nav... :shock:

I can't see the point of this car! Seems like a more expensive 350Z but not with much more grunt.

It's not that much expensive.
Same engine, same brakes, same base only lacks body reinforcements.
But it has 4 normal seats. And as seen in Best Motoring only 0.2 second slower around the track than 350z.

I would choice this one as I need those baks seats.

And yes I forgot - it has better interior quality :)

you ever drive one? i dont like it at all.

spicymustard 02-25-2004 04:58 AM

anyone notice the fact file states that it has a 3.5 v8, and the pic next to it says v6. Its obviously a v6, but funny anyway. I would have to take the 350z over the g35/skyline, although if they ever put crazy 4wd on it i would change my mind.

The computers in the Skyline are so sophisticated it's not even funny. You could hardly ever roll this beast. Great job Nissan.

veilsidebr 03-05-2004 10:23 PM

nice car, but i still prefer the old R34 Skyline....that is a NICE car :D

Its a Z for someone with two kiddies to stuff in the rear seats. The exhaust has a note to die for also.

excellent post, thanks again TT

This car has nothing to do with the R-34, or what the west knows as Skylines. In fact saying that the GT-R for sklylines, is like M for BMW is probably not quite correct. The difference of a GT-R and a Skyline, is far greater than the difference between a M versionand a regular BMW.

What M is for BMW, is Nismo for Nissan....

If you want the GT-R Skyline is a totally different car than the regular skyline. The Skyline that we love will be released worldwide, and will look alot less similiar than a 350z

Seems like a finely tuned car. I didn't know that the Nismo Skyline was created from the Gran Turismo version- very interesting. It's lightly tuned to 300 bhp, a little bit more than the 350z, and has room for two in the back, giving it practicality and power.
