You'd hope so after all these years.  And they don't make more power than a GTT.  Get your facts straight.

It's not as though the VQ is huge leap forward.  I'd like to see how much power a RB35DE made.

Ummm I do have my facts straight, Skyline r34 GTT stock 206KW x 1.34 = 276HP

G35 coupe the first models did 280HP the new ones do 295HP

You need to chill out a bit, I am not having a go at you just stating facts, as you will notice in one of my posts above I said " But each to their own I guess, peoples tastes are different".

I am quite chilled out. You seem to be dazzled by the "extra" 4 hp. But 4hp is hardly *more*. LOL. I'm really not impressed by an engine with more displacement making the same power as a smaller, turbo engine.

It's probably sadder that the R34 GTR is not significantly more powerful than the R32 GTR. And now the fastest new skyline is the equivalent of a GTS.

And you're comparing an RB20DE to a VQ35DE????

Sigh ....Okay whatever, just proving that my facts were straight that is all.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you were the one who compared them to RB20DE/RB25DE engines. And you were the one who said that they aren't as powerful as a R34GTT.

I guess it doesn't help that the V35's are the equivalent of the R32 GTS, R33 GTS and R34 GT -

And they don't make more power than a GTT.  Get your facts straight.

You don't like them..... I like them

You like angles....... I like curves and angles

You like old styles .... I like new styles and old styles

So we appreciate different things.

I appreciate all cars for wht they are, I have owned four turbo cars (two skylines, a 300zx and a S13) to date. But I am not going to let that bias me against N/A engines or newer car designs.

As I said before, some people can acccept change and don't mind thinking differently, others don't have it within themselves.

We all have different tastes. Each to their own!

Looks are such a subjective thing, yet they hold considerable sway over the decisions we make on a regular basis. What does it do actually do for us owning a car that 'looks' nice? Probably not much.

My 2c- not a bad looking car, a bit too much like a 350Z (also ok looks wise, but why make 2 cars so similar in design, looks & performance?). Also as someone else said, a bit too similar to the competition (TTs, Mercs etc)- lacks the distinguishability (if that's a word) of its predecessors. I mourn the death of the stove tops, and even more the in line 6. Surely balance shafts are a sign that you are going about things the wrong way...

well you all should be happy in about a year they are going to put into production the r 36 it is loosely based on a r34 but has the vq35 out of the 350 and infiniti which isn't all bad it will come awd and with a factory nismo twin turbo making in the area of around 400 hp so if you do or you don't like the infiniti version it shouldn't resemble it that much the only odd thing is it will be called the infiniti gt-r go figure

That is potentially only a US and Jap model...

I have to admit the new skyline is growing on me...there are a few 35's over here and I like them...

C'mon man, this is getting really tedious... here goes on behalf of Funkymonkey: how can there be an R36 when there isn't even an R35? And why would Nissan design a new car based on one that was originally designed in the early '90s?

I see you're from the US...

My 2 cents. Don't like the new version at all. They have foresaken the traditionally agressive / robust Japanese muscle car look for a Euro run-of-the-mill style. In the past NISSAN has delivered machines that looked agressive and intimidating FROM THE FACTORY. Now, it's just like every other car that you can spend a packet on to make it look the goods. They may drive and brake etc like a weapon but it'd be like sleeping with a nympho version of Pauline Hanson........ It's just not right !! :)

well i see i've touched a nerve well let me spill some american knowledge on you why would nissan design a new car based on one that was designed in the 90s,

and an r 35 prototype was produced and never reached outside japan

obviously you must not be from the us

You haven't touched a nerve buddy... I just can't believe you said 'R35', after everything thats been posted here and all over the 'net.

Hmmm, ok... 'spill some American knowledge' on me then... so far you haven't made much sense?

Actaully, I'll go first:

Try this thread and this thread for info on your so called 'R35' and your supposed 'R34 based' 'R36'...

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
