I'll tell you what's not to like, it looks like garbage and doesn't have the previous aggression and street cred that all the previous GTR's claimed. I think the modell should be recalled and all of them destroyed, let a straight person design it next time.

Mate your a hard man.

Your going on about the new GTR that won't be seen or built for another 2 years yet you want all of them destroyed.

We are talking about the present Skyline GT coupe here.

Yeah the V35 is ugly look at these cops even with a bodykit they're not aggressive. But it will do for me it's the kit I have on order

Yep, sure is, looks like a peice of shit if you ask me.

I disagree i reckon this new Skyline rocks.The VQ35 absolutely demoralises the RB26,that to me is a more of a factor than looks alone.Let the good times roll. :lol:

Oh ahhh post #2 and you're going to need an asbestos suit when you knock a RB26 on here :rolleyes:

Shall we go on the ford forum and tell them Windsors and Cleavlands make good boat anchors (J/K) :unsure:

Didn't mean it in a bad way.It's just my opinion.Anyway you can't beat a Clevo these days with some real good Hi-po parts out on the market it's GAME OVER :rofl:

I reckon the V35 GTR will look quite different compared to the coupe any way. Im thnk ink that the V35 coupe is like the gtst version of hte old gtr. Expect the famous stove lights and flared guards........something to look forward to in 2007 (I hope). :)

You can beat a clevo these days mate, thats for sure. Fords have taken the direction of "trying to be cool" and it just aint working. I think most people would have to agree that the tryhard attitude of Ford these days isnt paying off. I know i would prefer a GT-R than an FPV-GT any day of the week. By the way Holden still kick Fords ass.

I have owned my '05 350GT Coupe now for about 2 weeks and it gets better and better the more I learn it. I'm in my mid to late 20's and was after a sports car that could also stretch its legs out and be enough like a tourer that I could drive Sydney-Melbourne or Sydney-Brisbane without requiring physio at the end of it.

I test drove Porsche Boxsters, Merc SLK350's, Nissan 350Z, Mazda RX-8, Lexus IS250, BMW 330Ci and a few other variants. Badge was of no consequence to me at the end of the day, I just wanted a car that was right. I owned a '03 Audi 1.8T Quattro and decided it was time for something new. Out of all the cars I drove, the ones that fit my requirements best were the 350Z and the 330Ci. Why? Well ...

Boxster was fantastic to drive but after an hour or so you started to feel the offset seating position in your back. No storage space for long drives and obviously a 2-seater ... not good for road trips to Bulldogs games!

SLK350 was a poor version of the Boxster ... same limitations although a fraction more comfortable. Not as good a drive.

RX-8 just didn't cut it for me. Drove reasonably well, but looked like a kitted-up Mazda 6 IMHO and just didn't grab me.

Lexus IS250 is an executive tourer ... not for me.

I didn't want another Audi ... don't ask why, too complicated to explain.

The 330Ci was nice, and I was almost convinced except for the fact that every man and his dog with disposable income drives one and I hate that fact.

The 350Z was the car I wanted, but the lack of extra seats made me hesitate. The only thing that drove better noticeably was the Boxster ... the 330Ci was great to drive but took away too many of the dynamics for my liking ... something the 350Z doesn't do if you get the Track variant.

I stumbled across the 4-seater 350GT Coupe by accident in Drummoyne, had a drive, found it to be fantastic and a better drive than the 350Z and I immediately sort out a way of importing one. Haven't looked back since.

Mine has a few mods to it ... basically suspension and exhaust with some minor interior tweaks. I have the blue coupe in 6spd manual (obviously!). The exhaust mod lifts the output to closer to 230kW from the standard 221kW.

For what I was after, it really was the only choice. Having driven quite a few Boxster's and Boxster S's I must say that this car is nearly every bit as good a drive with the suspension and exhaust mods. And at less than half the price, you really can't go wrong.

I am not a fan of the sedan shape though ... it's got to be coupe or bust in my opinion.

Good stuff Fender. nice choice. A great combination IMO of style and sportiness. Can you explain how it drove better than the 350z. not doubting you, just interested as from everything I read the 350z is a great ride.

also, how much are they going for these days - ball park figure will do.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
