This is probably not that new, but anyhow, I post anyhow. The 4 door was released a couple of weeks ago in Japan.. the 2 door is due 1st quarter of next year

http://www2.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V36/0611/index.html

You can wade around the site, and look at the pretty pictures.. or maybe even read some of it if you know your Japanese. It's got an interesting side-profile, and personally I think it looks better than the droopy V35 4door model.

Hopefully this'll bring the price of the V35's down in price to silly levels in 6 months ;)

.. and seeing as I can press print-screen as good as the next guy..

Anyhow, from mucking about on the site .. you can probably see it's got

* Push button start

* Black leather, bone leather, or a reddy-brown leather as options

* Plastic/wood grain look inserts as an option

* Option of different front bar or mud-guard things

* Available in 5 speed manual or Auto Tiptronic

* Reverse sensing camera(s)

* Sat Nav

* Has Bose Premium sound system

* Available in 4WD or 2WD (2WD only for upper spec models)

* Economy of 10L/100km

* VQ35HR on upper specc'ed models, and also VQ25HR available

* VQ35HR - 232kw with 358Nm of torque @ 4800rpm

* VQ25HR - 165kw with 263Nm of torque @ 4800rpm

* Gas tank under rear seat

* 4WD comes with VQ25HR only.

* Most spec'ed models weigh about 1600kg unladen

If you want to read about what the HR brings over the current VQ35de engines, jump over to here:

http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/VQ35HR

"HR" possibly stands for "High Response and High Revolution" .. and they've upped the rev limit to 7500rpm :(

would have liked to see the vq35hr in an awd spec

and it seems that they are targeting business types - due to the fact that the only 2wd version is the highest spec model (why would somebody want awd on a heavy, full spec model? smart thinking nissan!)

Looks insane.

Remember guys these are standard cars. Standard previous model skylines (bar the GTR) didnt look crash hot in standard form either.

That is one nice peice of machinery. The reason why they wont bring that in over a Maxima is that the maxima costs considerably less. Tell me who in australia is going to buy a 100k Nissan thats not an out and out sports car. No one.

Most of the guys who buy Maximas are company managers, executives. Some of these top managers only have like a 60-70k Car budget and a optioned out Maxima is one of the most luxurious things on the market these days (my old state manager had one) without stepping into a 120k+ european car.

I'm with dangerous dave.... I also see some Merc CLS and BMW M5 styling in the sedan. I like it. I'd buy one as the V35 sedan just never appealed to me with it's bulbous styling, the V35 coupe grew on me though.

They can't make boxy looking cars forever.. styles change. Although I do like the older Skylines of course. The V36 at least goes back to a meaner look I think with how they've gone, which is a good thing.

At 232kw and that amount of torque, I'd say they'd go quite well, even if they are a meant to be a 'taxi' in the 4 door version.

Nissan would probably have to sell them for $60k-$80k if they sold here, which unfortunately probably wouldn't be too viable.

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
