Rezz Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 The V35 Skyline Sedan official designation is: UA-PV35. The V35 Skyline Coupe official designation is: UA-CPV35. I`m REALLY suprised that alot of people on this *Skylines* Australia forum still call it an R35. Aren`t you guys Skyline enthusiasts? By getting the name wrong, we`re disrespecting the latest Skyline incarnation. This is not a rant, it`s just that I really want SAU Forums to be THE English Language Skyline Information base that all people look to for accurate information. I`m not trying to score points here or trying to look like *the man*, I just want this forum to be the best there is.

Rezz Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Originally posted by GTR-Part II the GTR version is called r35 cos their now considering the GTR a totally different car the GTR isnt even out yet You say the new GT-R is a *totally* different car, yet you still think the chassis designation is in accordance with previous RB engined GT-R`s so your calling it an "R"35? That doesn`t make sense. And no, the whole "The New GT-R is a Whole different car from the Skyline" is just bollocks that Carlos Gohsn told the AMERICAN press. They (well, Gohsn) can`t sell the GT-R under the Infinity label, so they have to go a different route. But who cares what they`re doing in the US anyway? In Japan (the only place that matters when it comes to Skylines and the GT-R), there is no difference between the Skyline and the GT-R. There will be no differentiation between them. The GT-R will be know as the V35 (Skyline) GT-R. That makes sense, doesn`t it? And remember, my original post in this thread was talking about the Sedan and Coupe, NOT about a car that hasn`t even been released yet...

Sonic Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 The upcoming 35-series GT-R won't be called a skyline. IT'S NOT A FREAKIN SKYLINE. it's an independant model (like 200SX) that is the top, bestest, most beaut car in the whole nissan portfolio.

I see you used the "200SX" as an example there Sonic, but there is no 200SX in Japan... so your actually referring to what the GT-R will be marketed as *in Australia* are you not? **I only ever refer to Japan fellas, I don't know what the bloody GT-R is going to be called in Oz, thats IF you get it at all. In Japan, it's a V35 Skyline GT-R... woohoo! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27382-its-v35-skyline-v35/#findComment-575443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Japan, it's a V35 Skyline GT-R... woohoo! Nope, Goshn has said it's going to be the Nissan GT-R worldwide. One name. No more 200SX/Silvia/240SX confusion, just one name and everyone's gotta live with it. YES we are getting it. When is the question as we'll get our cars after America/Japan/Europe are satisfied (so expect between 6-12month wait after car is unvieled). This wait would make sense as it would allow 350Z owners who want a GT-R to cash up enough to buy one...

Rezz Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Even though Carlos "I`ve got yellow fever" Gohsn is the CEO of Nissan, I wouldn`t hang on everything he says. That guy has some serious relationship issues with the Japanese at Nissan, that could very well effect what actually is decided upon... ie: the Japanese overturning some of his "corporate" decisions. Thats what people (my mates) are saying in Japan. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27382-its-v35-skyline-v35/#findComment-576117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 The board approved the worldwide distribution of the car to all existing Nissan markets. This was announced to Australian journos at the release of the Zed.

Rezz Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Thats great Sonic... I`m not contesting that. I`m saying that "Corporate decisions" that make the GT-R a *GT-R*, that Carlos Gohsn seems tp think are so unmarketable outside Japan eg: it`s name (Skyline heritage), and styling (the engine fiasco has been put to rest thank god) I mean, Carlos fooked up about the V8 didn`t he? Haa, ha... So as I say... don`t take everything he says (from now on!) as gospel... he is after all a FOREIGNER in Japan, and any of you guys who have been to Japan to live will know, foreigners don`t run things...

nmcmahon83 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Simple thing is, a GT-R isn't a GT-R unless it's a Skyline GT-R. Saying that, a Z isn't a Z unless it's a fairlady so there goes that theory (in Oz anyway).

tridentt150v Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Don't like the look of it anyway, looks like a recycled Renault................... And we all know how good the frogs are at car design...........long live the citreon, the renault, and the peuguot, with out a doubt the three ugliest looking cars ever made. I'm sorry, but they are taking skyline where I don't want to go [lets hope the engine package is not influenced by French design].

awurth Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 unless they put a 5ltr, push rod, 2 valve per cylinder donk in the new skyline you'll never seen it run against the likes of v8 supercars, who cares anyway, already beat them at that game a few times, do you really need to embaress them again, they will just make a new formatt up again and rule the nissan out. thing i can't get my had around is they don't even run the V8's they sell there cars with!!!!!! Personally I'm not sold on the new shape, looks like a maxima!
