i havnt read all all the replys but...

heres my opinion...

i think it looks too much like an Inifnity G35 Coupe`... although they are basically the same car... so that might not make much sence...

in a way... i think that this V-35 model has kinda ruined the Skyline name... although it does kinda look alright and could grow on me... but yeah...

heres a few pics i found a loooooong time ago... of what a possible R/G/V-35 wouldve/couldve looked like... but as much as i know... its just some fan art... or somthin...

the first two were an artist impression created by blending a Tommy Kiara R34 bodykit with a Hyundai Tiburon.

The Artist did a good job then...looks great to me

There is no basically about it......The G35 Infinity IS a V35 but with LHD.

Thought the early concept in those last two pics looked terrible

Cheers

in my oppinion, it ISNT a skyline.... the skyline died for me on r34........

to me this is just another great nissan, seriously guys if nissan didnt say it was a skyline and said hey look we have a new car and gave it some new outrageous name everyone would be like aww looks so cool.... but since its WRECKING a legacy that we all hold dear.. it realy turns us against the car. The power figures of the car itself are impressive, and hey it DOES look good with a kit and rims..... the only thing they should of done is not relate this new car ANYWAY what so ever to a skyline.....

just my two cents..

Yeah good point. They were obviously banking on the Skyline name to sell more cars.

At least they didn't go and put Skyline badges on the Maxima

V35 350GT

I love it and would be proud to say it was 100% Skyline

WHAT!!! That's a skyline? I could have sworn that was an 350Z :rofl:

Nissans design levels have sank to a level comparable of Holdan or Ford *EVERY F#CKING CAR LOOKS THE SAME* I'll photochop in a maxima next time...

Other than mechanically tell me which parts interchange that you can see

Sure they followed a theme but one that works

And for those who knock Carlos

Sure we don't like some of the things he's done but without him Nissan would have gone down the toilet by now their financial situation was so dire.

It's fine to build cars that push the forefront of technology such as the 32 GTR but that doesn't keep you in busness.

Better Nissan to survive and our cars maintain their resale value than go the way of Rover/MG.

Imagine those poor buggers trying to get out of their leases when they finish.

cheers

Length *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Width *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Height *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Grill *yes, I'll give you that.

Grill placement *No, your just reusing Grill to get to points & your not getting'em, Your still on 1 point.

Headlights *No, Pfff Basically still the same shape

Taillights *Yes, ok different.

Bonnet *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Bumpers *Pff

Doors *No, Pfff VERY similar

door handle placement *No, your trying to get 2 points again... not happening...

Bootlid V's Hatch *Ok, spose... but who cares about that.

So you end up with 3 points... Yep… REALLY different cars…;)

Yes, but better to simply not make anther skyline if it's just going to be a Maxima / 350Z Hybrid anyway... At least not call it a skyline, there’s nothing skyline about it!!

Haha your'e funny :(

yeah like Nissan have never before had more than one model that looked practically the same as another model before and shared the same parts.

let me see

R30- 31 Skyline / Pintara

R32 Coupe / S13

R32 Sedan / Cefiro

180sx / 240 sx/ 280z

how far back do I have to go???

It is a fact that the Skyline really only started to look different from the other models with the R33 and R34 and possibly the R32 GTR not the GTS/T

All car manufacturers share similar design features between models and share parts and panels, this cuts down on the total cost of manufacture for indivedual cars.

Either way this poll has been running for quite awhile now and it seems that more people like or are willing to accept it than those that don't/won't. 103 to 37 so I guess that is the end of that.

It is always easier to jump on a negative band wagon than to accept new ideas.

Or maybe we should all go back to the designs of the 50's of big blocky cars with fins, I mean my grandfather thinks those cars are the best designs and everything newer is crap, so going by the same logic as the other people who like the older designs he must be right.

Oh well each to their own :bahaha:

It's only the internet and not everyone is going to agree on everything

Carry on

Yes you hit the nail on the head there Chris.

Some people are just slow to accept change and maintain their narrow viewpoints long after others have moved on.

I was one of the first to get an R33 then a R34 in spite of owners of the previous models telling me how ugly they are. Look how they accept them now.

Mind you even now if I see a nicely done up HR31 I wish I had the spare garage space :love:

Yes this thread has served it's purpose

Cheers

Chris

Er, the Skyline/Pintara separation was just cynical marketing, much like the 350Z/Skyline issue now. At least Toyota doesn't call its' 4 Cylinder Camry a different car to its V6.

You're comparing a 180SX to a 240SX? They weren't even sold in the same market - they were different names for the same car (except engine) in different market.

If you think the R32 and the S13 and the Cefiro look the same that's up to you I guess.

For those of us who care, we are bitterly disappointed that not only has the styling become homogenised, but the engine is the same, and the chassis is the same, and the engine is the same! Rotating a door handle doesn't impress us, sorry. Very disappointing for flagship models of a manufacturer.

my view.... front looks shit ...way too much like a lexus, 350z or maxima. BAck looks alright though. I reckon the concept skyline, the black and silver one would have been a much better step in the right direction....(i love that car looks awesome !)

I didnt think the G35 Skyline could bring down the skyline visuals any more but it looks like the current 2007 GTR is even worse... so ugly... nothing compliments the other.... Looks like they've thrown on a r33 GTR wing & just expected that shape to suite, Those rims are a gay spoke pattern & It almost looks like that car wants liposuction too... ahhh man... the r34 ZTune is truly the Last GTR.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
