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...

they are identical, and nissan has no problems saying in public that the same machines and the same production line makes the chassis of the 370, 350z as well as the 250gt, 350gt and the R35 and the V series and even that ugly 4wd thing they have, is it spelt Munro or something? That even shares the same engine as a 350Z except its weaker for some reason when its in a heavier car???

Just like the same production line was used for the r33 (all models), R34 (all models) stagea, s14, s15's. Its cost effective.

And an R36 wont be much more than the r35 unless they go overboard trying to compete against the NEw Enzo that is meant to be finished by 2012, new Koensigg, new maserati gt's, Lexus LFA, a possible new Veyron perhaps????

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

kpgc110-kpgc210-dr30-r31-r32-r33-r34... end

in the skyline line you missed out the v35 and v36.

as for the r36, i agree the comment lachlanw said about did you think they would just keep updating the r35 for 15 years. most models these days have a lifespan of about 4 or 5 years (with a few exceptions) and the replacment model starts getting developed about halfway through the life of the model it replaces.

how much they change between the r35 and r36 is anyones guess. it could be like the 350z to 370z where to look at there isn't a huge amount of changes done. or the v35 to v36 nissan didn't really make any wholesale changes, they just tweaked it a bit and generally speaking the changes weren't much more than what nissan did between the s1 and s2 r33 skylines. before people start pointing out all the difference that there were between the 2, i already no, i am just making a general statement pointing out that the diferences were less than between the r32, 33 and 34.

multi vehicle platforms are the in thing. nissan aren't the only people doing it. GM are doing it as well.

do you blame them though? I'd be doing the same thing if I was trying to keep costs down. FYI I wasn't meaning it to be interpreted in a negative way, just that I thought people were trying to say that there is no difference between an R35 compared to a 350/370z when clearly that doesn't mean the R35 is a cheaper car for it, but it does give the 370z more credit that it shares some components with a budget supercar.

The assembly line has very little to do with the car's design or engineering. A vehicle goes from car parts to completed vehicle on that assembly line in a handful of minutes. The decision to build the car at Tochigi was logical really as Tochigi plant builds all of Nissan's build-to-order vehicles such as the high end Infinitis for the US market.

Pre-assembly there are so many other processes and design aspects that make the R35 worlds apart from other Nissan offerings. From the unique, hand assembled VR38 to the PM rear transaxle layout it is a unique car. Will some do dads from other cars be identical yes, for example the paddle shifters in the FX50 come from the GT-R but it's no 370z with a different badge.

As for the R36, Mizuno has stated publicly that the R36 is not even in design phase yet, his goal was to was to give the R35 three years in the market before they even began the decision making process on the next step. He has re-stated that the Porsche 911 is still the benchmark for performance and that is what it will be aimed at if it comes to fruition.

There are some speculation that the technology in the Infiniti Essence concept will be cherry picked for the R36 but no confirmation that.

In reading your post I can't help but find myself questioning your level of familiarity with the said 35. Although I don't own one, I do get a lift to work most mornings in one. I've also driven in a new 370 loan vehicle, they have very little maybe nothing in common. In fact, it requires a very significant chassis to remain rigid when enduring high G forces in the GTR.

As for Nissan getting back to making affordable Skylines, this is the most affordable GTR ever, do the maths.

lets hope for GTS-T models :thumbsup:

ever since the R32GTR, production numbers have been dropping. i doubt the R35 production numbers will even exceed the R34 GTR.

R32 GTR: 43,930

R33 GTR: 16,870

R34 GTR: 11,312

have they even sold 5,000 R35s? i couldn't find the numbers.

so unlike the other skyline models, the R35 GTR depreciation will be considerably less over the years because of the limited numbers. i wont expect to see them going up on carsales for $30k in 2025.

in america from 2008 to march 2010 nissan has sold 3,489 cars. the UK has been getting 1100 units a year (although that has been reduced) and pretty much all of them are pre-sold. i could only assume that sales in japan would be much higher than those 2 combined. the manufacturing plant is capable of turning out 1000 cars per month, and considering the amount of countries getting the GTR this time round i wouldn't be suprised if they are actually running at close to that, especially if you consider the amount of pre-orders they had. in wouldn't be suprised if world wide the gtr sales were close to (or more than) those of the r34 already.

but while i don't think the GTR will be 30,000 in 2025, it may well be getting close to whatever the equivilant amount is once you take into account inflation, especially if in years to come people start importing them privately from japan in order to get cheaper ones, or different spec'd ones.

If they make an R36 I sincerely hope they fix one of the main problems with the R35 - the weight. A wise man once said: "Power makes you fast in a straight line, light weight makes you fast everywhere else".

I'd like to see at least 200 kg trimmed from the R35. If that means losing a few gadgets so be it, the R35 seems like quite a complex car.

well depends if they keep the same size. if the car is the similar size the only way to reduce weight that much would be changing materials, which could really push the price up.

i'd rather nissan reduced the size of the car but i have doubts that ll happen.

There's a lot of heavy stuff under the skin that could be lightened or eliminated. Mind you, have you seen the FIA GT series? I was shocked at how big the R35 looks compared to the Ferraris and Corvettes.

Have you been in or driven a 35? I think I know the answer to that! Weight is no problem, this car handles amazingly.

it can always be faster (not imply it isn't insanely quick atm)

just remember, it ll have to compete with the next series of 911s thus it ll have to be faster.

Pretty much my point. Gadgets can be helpful but I'm not sure shaving a few hundredths off the shift time is worth the weight of the R35s fancy transmission

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
