I think its the proto for the v36 skyline

it looks good, but keep in mind it is only a proto. It doesn't have the feel of a skyline more a 350

I miss the circle tail-lights :ermm:

i think the era of the cars we are all used to and love have passed, i guess we can't live in the 90's foreva :cheers:

would it be available in a turbo version??

They sell these in korea, dont they? cept they call them a Hyundai Tiburon....

Eeerrrrrrm NO. You are thinking of the Tiburon made by Hyundai, nothing to do with Nissan :)

I like the G35 though, nice car. Yeah it's pretty much a replacement for the GTS-T.

One thing we all need to admit is the Skyline as we know it is dead. Welcome to Euro market....

it aint the same anymore - i read that the designer said the new gtr is not really affiliated with the skyline name cos its entirely different.....(i.e the 32-34 gtrs had something in common with the gts's/gt's and the gtsts/gtt's - eg the lights or some of the looks).

Either way, adz is right, the skyline is dead - but perhaps the new model could bring out a new luv affair with the gtr name.

doesnt look bad, but doesnt look like a skyline...same with the GTR Proto...looks sexy n all, but doesnt make me think skyline....more 350z

dont you mean the 350z reminds you of the Skyline or G35 seeing as that came first and not the other way around?

they just have such an aggressive look to them, and look like a more purpose built sports/ race car. I personally would've bought one, but there just a little on the old side.. kinda wanted something newer, still think the 33 looks awesome or i wouldn't have got one lol

Too bad history doest repeat it self in the automotive industry. At least our generation can live to tell the tales of the best of the skyline series. ;) Anyways if nissan really plans on making a gts, i'd doubt they call it a GTS, more like a plain skyline, as it has nothing to do with the GTR, nothing in common. If we prey enough nissan might through in a turbo, but best, a In-line 6, the true JDM style, as the V6 are already pretty much more powerful than RB25 series. VQ30.

Long live the In-line 6!!!!!!!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
