course it real .do you think they will keep updating the r35 for the next 15 years?

lachlanw im starting to think your right because people would get bored with the r35 eventually they already brought out the spec v the s-tune is in production so an r36 would be a crowd pleaser but it would probably look the same as the r35 just with some minor modifacations but what would the engine be because the 3.8 twin turbo v6 has already been used in the r35 how about something around the 4.0 litre range or a nissan v8 perhaps?

its obvious nissan is already working on the next model GTR, But production stage is pretty far off still.

There aiming for 2013 assuming the project doesn't get axed before hand. the first r35's were made at the end of 2007, so I can assume that a 5 year life span sounds about right for the GTR, other model gtr's have had a similar lifespan.

i thought nissan stopped producing skylines and started focusing on the z series...have you noticed how the r35 looks so much like the 350/370z?

your about 3 years late on that discussion lol

in all honesty, the chassis of the r35 gtr and the 370z look identical...kinda how the dc5 kept the dc2 chassis...i wouldnt be suprised if it were true though since the r35 gtr costs about $150,000.....how much is the r36 gonna cost....500k???i think nissan should just get back to making affordable skylines...

lol.

do you really think the r32 gtr was ~20k in 1989 when it first came out?

and likewise, do you really think the r32 gtst was ~10k in 1989 when it first came out?

ffs.

Affordable?

The R32 GTR was $110,000 ($AUD) brand new back in 1991, which taking inflation into account makes it about ~$175,000 today.

I think he was refering to the run of the mill Skylines - GT, GTt, 250GT, 300GT, 350GT etc.

I thought the V36 Skyline is still in production..... :s

Too hard to find and copy from my phone.... But I would like to register my face palm now at at least 50% of the responses here. R36, well either they will stop producing GTRs, or they will release an R36, because that is the way it works. R36 being crazy money, why? Based on that the R32 would have been about $10 brand new.. Cannot think of a single car that has increased in price by more that a couple of thousand with release of a new model. Affordable skylines... GTR isn't a Skyline, and for many people is affordable (wish I was one of them). Likewise if you look at pricing of V35/36 skylines, they are pretty good value. As for the 2 chassis looking the same, what chassis? How much time have you spent under each car comparing to say they look identical? The GTR has Alloy strut towers etc do the Zs have this? Going to have my Coffee, sorry for the rant,

yes you may be right about that one as ive noticed my gtr's front lights resemble the 350z's front lights but you cant really tell what nissans doing anymore they said the s15 silvia(240sx/200sx) was going to be a facelift of the s14 but when there sitting next to each other its a big difference.

yes but the s14 and s15 still share the same basic suspension setup, sr20 and are a 2 door coupe.. so all they did was change the "face" of it and make it look slightly different.. the overall basic shape is the same as it ever was.. same with the skylines (boxy) and the z's (swoopy), very few companies will ever redesign the basic layout of a car.. holdens have basically remained the same underneath from VB to VY with very few changes.

dont get me started on the whole "r35 gtr not a gtr coz its not a skyline thing.."

of these family lines.. the only one still going is the Z series.. so the r35 and r36?? will follow this layout.. i also believe this is due to the fact the skyline family was built from a need to be in homoglation racing. now though without any racing to enter in.. there is no need to carry on the family.. the Z shape was never a "race" car.. it was a sports car, aimed at mid life crisis people and sunday drives,

240z-260z-280z-z31-z32-350z-370z

s12-s14-s13-s14-s15... end

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
