The R35 Gt-r - Is It Part Of The Skyline Legacy?


Recommended Posts

Dear faithful Skyliners,

A lot of speculation and rumours have surrounded the release of the all-new 2007 Nissan GT-R... many say it's only another GT-R whereas some say it's the next Skyline, the R35 -can someone please confirm whether it is or it is not.

I personally think the Skyline tradition had ended with the R34... can someone please confirm.

Just days ago, the Tokya Motor show confirmed the follow specs... from what it looks like now, the new GT-R will be the most powerful, all-round driving machine to come from Nissan ever... what do you think?

Thanks.

two totally seperate entities. you can thank Ghosn for that one (who still deserves a punch on the cock for it)

Wow, thanks fellas for confirming... that's ironic... the Skyline looks like a Camry Sportivo or a Mazda 6 Sports now... just a 'bit over the top' family car and that's it... wonder why they chose to go down this path?

yes well you gotta keep the signature icons of the skyline, otherwise fanboys in the US will think its just a Z...

Whore the heritage and hype of the skylines and give the GT-R more exclusivity by separating it from the common-folks' passenger cars and you have an instant money maker.

adam i know that but its gonna get very confusing around here if we all call it the gtr. there are 3 models gone b4 that the word also refers to and a lot more to come. think a few years ahead... "hey i got a GTR!" "yeah? Which one? the r32, r33, r34, 07, 08....?". also its a better method imo than using the year released cos they are released at different times worldwide. im just looking for a way to differentiate b/n them

funky: then r35 it is. to me at least.

That's kinda stuffed... but like Funky said... it's a money-making ploy after all.... Skylines have ruled for a few decades, now they bring out the Infiniti GT-R and now this the GT-R itself... quite confusing when the V35 is called a Skyline now... well, this is how I see it fellas... the only true true Skylines are the R32, R33 and the R34. Period.

For future generations to come, if they refer to the R35 - it'll be the 08 GT-R and the 09 GT-R so forth... but let me tell you this, I got a feeling in my veins that the Sporty Skyline legacy will come back... I just don't like the shape of the new GT-R's... the three Skylines mentioned above will be timeless... the look, the curves, the feel... everything is timeless... my car is like over 10 years old, but I still think it look just as good if not better than most modern cars... you guys agree?

Yeah, I guess... seeing it in the flash might change things... as the R33 GT-R to me personally, so just sex on wheels... can't imagine anything looking better (not even the R34 GT-R).... but yeah, thanks mate... make sure you let us know how the test drive goes... 3.8 litre of pure muscle is ground-breaking...

LOL, commodore owners would tell you the same thing!

    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
    • And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?
    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
