Skylines in the US?

[eclipse07]

Hey i heard that their gonna start selling Skylines in the US, only it wont be called a Nissan Skyline....it was gonna be a different make and model name......i was just wondering if it was true and if it is....whats it gonna be called?

[sracer]

Its the Inifiti G35 and its been out for over a year now

[Black Komet]

check the nor-cal section, theres a thread on this already

[DevilChrist]

yup.. basically G35X is the non turbo version of the skyline..

[ryans]

G35 is not a skyline. Well in my mind at least. Skyline's gotta have those bad ass looking rear tail lights, mean look etc.

Please read and absorb.

THERE IS NO TURBO SKYLINE ANYMORE. Jesus fucking Christ what does it take for you guys to understand? The GT-R nameplate has been severed from the Skyline name. The current generation Skyline has been out for what, two years now? Do you ever see any of them heavily tuned like you saw R32, R33, and R34 GT-Rs? NO. There's a reason for this: The current "Skyline" in Japan is a V35 chassis (NOT R35), both in sedan and coupe form (just like our Inifiniti G35s). The Nissan Skyline now is essentially a nice family car and a nice sports coupe.

The R35 GT-R does not exist (publicly) yet.

When the R35 GT-R exists, it will be called a "Nissan GT-R", not a "Nissan Skyline GT-R." They are two completely separate cars and labels now.

The V35 Skyline and Skyline coupe DO NOT COME TURBO

The V35s come with 3 different V6 motors, the 3.5 litre VQ35DE we get here (rated at only 272 ps by Japanese law), a 3.0 litre VQ30DD (260 ps), and a 2.5 litre VQ25DD (215 ps). The coupe only comes with the VQ35DE. None of those motors are turbo ... if you can't tell by the output you can easily tell by the motor codes (no T or TT suffix). Check Nissan Japan's website if you don't believe me.

Please stop being morons about this. It's really not difficult.

So basicly theyre legalizing the skyline in the US by manufacturing it with american specs.

[Simple Tuned]

They are legal in Cali arent they?

So i guess neither are the versions from the 70's that were banned from road racing due to their overwhelming success? :uhoh:
