Skyline 350GT

[linsook]

rememeber the nissan skyline gt-r concept in 2000? ya turned out to be the rebranded (in NA) inifinti g35. so im assuming... if the platform changes for the skyline, it will aswell for the 350 and the g35. if anything the gt-r will have over the g and the z an engine upgrade, suspension and tire upgrade. but the chassis will be the same. and thats all.

edit: sorry was 2001 when the concept was revealed at the tokyo auto show.

Beautiful pictures. I'm drooling!

:o :o :o :huh: :huh: :huh:

that looks like a piece of brick thats been polished and painted with the color of steel..

[linsook]

lol ya..... sorta... u never know it could of been clay. but that brick is what you see nwo as the g35 and its cousin the 350z.

[xxkrnxstylezxx]

That was the 2001 GT-R concept car. But they're not going with that look

What a nice ride...guess that you must've been extremely happy owning it :)

[Rappy Veteran]

Thats a nice car....would love to own a skyline :)

??? You obviously know nothing about cars. A miata is a girls car. A new eclipse is a girls car. A G35 is definately not a girls car. Though there is nothing wrong with a girl owning one. Especially a manual. :woot: lol

There aren't many cars in this price range that handle and have the power of these.

[~clean]

Well it was fun as hell to drive and play with. I was a very happy while driving it. If they do make a gtr on this platform it will be a awsome car.

... well theres a chance its on its way back so might get to play with it again. Ill grab some videos if it does.

Miatas aren't girl cars either. Yes they look a bit that way, but they are track monsters. GSX is pretty fast also, don't like the new eclipses though.

a girls car? really? i bet u call the 99-04 mustang GT's a mans car though right? then explain why this "girls car" can run the same times, have a killer awd system and give you a much more refined interior at the same time?

Girls car my as you want to see a girls car go look at anyone that has an auto in a v8

Miatas are unless they're around cones. :) (Or its been souped up) I've seen some single turbo setups that were pretty wicked for that little car.

The new Eclipses are pretty messed up compared to the DSM ones, imo.

I guess mainly because there is no turbo option.

Well the models aren't exactly the same. Some are very close but you get luxuary features in the more expensive name. And there are platforms on one that aren't on the other. Sure the camry shares a structure with a Lexus but there are differences in the build. They have done this, imo, to create brand recognition.

But hey apparently the 'rest of the world' knows exactly what they are doing. :rolleyes:

uhh what are you talking about.... most of the world dont use the luxury spinoffs like northamerica does ie infiniti, acura, lexus.

for example... acura tsx.. (north america) its the accord everywhere else in the world.. and no they are not different. an this nissan skyline 350. its a g35 in NA and its the samething. so i dunno where you coming from. the point of the other poster was that they shoudl elimiate the spinoff names and keep to the parent company.

[ahfunaki]

I don't think that the g35 is worthy of the skyline name...

should have kept the old style...

I know the G35 is not exactly the same as a 350Z. Same platform, engine, transmisison, so on. The differences are the available options and the interior. They are pretty much different cars that are mechanically the same. I don't know about the non-NA ones though. Is there a 2 seater skyline? The 350Z is a two seater.

These spinnoff names are given to the more luxuary featured cars. True some are almost exactly the same but not all. I don't know what the original idea was but I think it is a marketing thing. They have given these cars different names and provided some extra features, cushier interior and so on and used the name recognition to distinguish from their counterpart. Plus imo it is nice in the case of the z/g to have the same great platform with two choices in style.

Also often you will get better service at the dealership of an Acura, Infiniti, lexus than of a Honda, Nissan, Toyota.

no , yo udidnt get what i said. the infiniti G35 is the same as the Nissan Skyline. which shares the same paltform with the 350. we (north america) use infiniti, as well as acura, lexus etc.... whereas the rest of the world doesnt. they stick to 1 name from the company. anohter example is the lexus 300/350 (to us nother americans) which is a toyota 300/350 to the rest of the world. and yes they are the EXACT same. again the whole point of what the other guys meant. us north americans (screw the marketing) and just stick to the parent companies name.

btw, sorry if i sounded like an ass in the ealrier post. heh

<------------------- Nissan 240sx !!!!! you like it ??

Wow, it is ugly.

OK I gotcha. I had known about this kind of thing from the NSX. Here it's Acura NSX and over seas it's Honda NSX. I misunderstood and thought they were saying our Toyota and Lexus were exactly the same.

So in one case they have a Toyota ES300 instead of Camry? Or do they have both with the 300 being more luxurious?

[Quickstrike]

So that look follows through to all Skylines?

Yeah, the G35 (basic Skyline), is nothing special here.. see them all the time.

The GTR is supposed to be really something though!!
