one other question. Does anyone think nissan would release a GTST model based on the GTR platform? They obviously arent going to do it with the V35. Im sure a lot cheaper rear wheel drive and maybe a little simpler engine built with the GTR platform would be a fair bit cheaper. Maybe it would effect 350Z sales though.

It was a good time in the early to mid 90's. GTR, GTST, Silvia, 300zx all in the nissan stable. Look now, even in japan the nissan cars all look a little dull except for the 350Z.

In answer to everyone's GTS-T questions, there's the G35 Sports Coupe. and that's aboot it...

Porsche 996 for me is the ulitmate car (if you get to drive one you'll know what i mean) that's a bargain, even at 300-large. I know the guy who wrote the Porsche vs GT-R article and he's owned some of the toughest GT-Rs and Soarers in Oz and that car left a big impression.

The R32 was $110,000 in 1990 when it first landed here. Nissan Oz got burnt by how long it took to sell the last batch of the original 100 (just like most Ltd. Edition cars sold here).

We'll see the R35/V35/next GT-R out here as the number of GT-Rs we privately import is sooo big it's earned the ire of Nissan Intnl. who want a slice of that action. It's getting sold everywhere from here to USA to UK to France to Germany

ive been in a G35 sedan (the Skyline is branded as the Infiniti G35 in the USA) as it was fanged around a bit.

It goes alright but the sedan is a bit heavy for its own good.

The coupe is sexy and I would take it over the 350Z since its a Skyline. I would change the grill though.

I did, and those Concept 2001 pics are... well, 2 years old.

Why are a few people typing "V35/R35"?

It`s V35... thats what Nissan calls that platform. There is no possibility of an R35 ok? And as for an "R"35 GT-R, Nissan is making the GT-R on the V35 platform, so you can guess they`re gonna come up with something like "BNV35" GT-R or something.

The "RB" series of straight sixes are gone. Please don`t perpetuate the "R35" thing, I tell my Japanese mates about it and they can`t understand how people can get it wrong, when it`s so easy to click your mouse a few times to see the V35 spec sheet.

Not known him that long, met him through work. Only know of the GT-Rs through what workmates have told me (was told he's owned a few and didn't know about any other Soarers - how much did he get for the 300+rwkW TT one?).

I DO know he's now got a Bentley (did he fit the neons to that, or the XR6T?) that he bought in Japan while he was over there doing the V35 thang.

      Rusty roof repair

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
