must admit, they look pretty ordinary until you put some wheels on it and a kit (or a set of t!ts), but then they look farking incredible. like the ER34...

yeah...im a fan.

How do the American and Jap spec 350GTs compare?

We keep bumping into each other!

At the moment the Infiniti G35 is a luxury brand... they are US$30,000+ cars, well optioned but they screw you on the good shit like Brembo brakes. As far as I know the BMW 330ci and M3 are just over $45,000 there so the Infiniti is chasing some exotic tail.

In that light, the Skyline 350GT at around $35,000 Australian represents extraordinarily good value.

I maintain that the decision of Nissan Australia to not import the Skyline is a boon for Australian consumers.

If officially imported, it's a $80,000+ car.

As it stands it's a <$40,000 car! Nowhere else in the world can you buy this calibre of car for this amount of money.

I personally have no love of the French motor... and I'm no fan of the styling but the 350GT is miles better looking than the 350z and it has the special Skyline aura. I want to hate it but it's growing on me.

Oh and I always maintain that the S14 and R33 are distant cousins to the Camry/Magna esp. in the nose department.

Has anyone heard anything about when compliance will be ready???

Ernie from Skyline imports QLD is saying any day now - for the 4 doors

Zoran from Japp sport is saying 2 weeks for the 2 door.

Craig from J-Spec says 3-5 weeks !!

Are any of them telling the truth??? I want one :P

Hey,

I thought this car looked familiar. I saw my first 350GT on Sunday night on Cleveland St near the city. It had temporary licence plates so it might have been out on a test drive.

From my rear view mirror and on the side I thought it was a 350Z, so I was pretty amused when it zoomed past and I saw the Skyline badge on the rear.

Looked hot, I like.

I followed the guy until he turned off at anzac prd, he was really booting it.

Snap out of it people. I thought the R34 was ugly..... they're getting worse everytime.... At least the '34 still has the stovetops, how can u even call it a skyline without those taillights? just wondering who'd be the first w@nker to be caught in one.

pure filth, a shame to the skyline name, wheres the congruency that was there for generations - I was disgraced when I seen these as even concepts compared to the concept that looks like a modified sleek R34, who woulda thought they chose this crap over the other concept

350Z looks much nicer

at least they didnt class it as a R35 - hopefully there will be a real R35 to continue the skyline name.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
