^^^ Thats some guys Photoshop that he did himself using an Audi concept car base or something.

The current Skyline is called V35. It's a complete generation change, so calling it R35 is incorrect. V36 is the next Skyline (in development) but magazines in Japan admit that V36 is still yet to be confirmed and that the next 2006 Skyline could be known as V35 but have an extra digit or letter eg: VH35, BV35 or something like that.

It doesnt bear enough resembelance to the good looking beasts that preceded it but I still think it's a cool looking car. BTW It's not Photoshop, could be a 3D mock created in 3D max or something but it looks more like a mule or perhaps even a clay model.

Just because the original magazine (Speed was it?) printed it and said it was a photoshop, doesnt mean it was, it just measn the editor was technically inempt and thinks every "graphic" ever made was done in photoshop.

^^^ but hat doesn't mean it real either! Seriously, didn't it ever seem to you that an *uncovered* and almost showroom ready car like that one above breaking cover almost 3 years before it's scheduled release was a bit.. no REALLY strange?

There are pics flying around the 'net of the Audi concept car that that 'R35 GTR' was based on... clear as day. And the (German?) guy who did it has done 4 or 5 other photochops of GT-Rs and other sports cars too.

If thats a real car, you'd see multiple angles of it...just like the GT-R test mule spotted at the Nurburgring. Remeber that? Now THATS real.

the current skyline is the V35. Although what you have pictured is actully the GTR concept.

The G35 is bassically the same car released in the as the V35 released in america. although is not called a skyline and i think has a few differences although i am not sure on this so feel free to correct me.

doesnt mean it wasnt either.....

and it wouldnt be 3D studio max in the first place like you said, coz if it was made up in 3D studio max they'd be able to provide different angles n such.... ( being a 3D program and all ), that photo is definitely a photochop, i've worked with both programs heaps before and its simple to tell the difference.

theres a V35 GTR in GT4.... it guns lol :P

ok, so since the 2 pix i opsted before were the V35 G-R CONCEPT, then can someone post me the pic of The V35? because of what i heard the Skyline V35 is called the Infiniti G35 in North America (that sucks) and as the Skyline V35 in JAPAN.

No no no... listen to me :), you're getting confused by these other guys.

The pics you posted weren't of the 'V35' GT-R concept, they were of the 'GT-R Concept'. There won't be a V35 GT-R per se, but a completely different model seperate from the current (or next) Skyline.

In fact the next GT-R will be a stand alone model marketed as an Infiniti! So the top sports car offered by 'Nissan' will remain the Fairlady (350)Z.

So the current Skyline is the V35?

is this the current skyline (v35)?

V35%20GT-R%20Concept%20top%20rear%20left%20night.jpg

And why are people saying that the Infiniti G35 is the current Skyline?

1) Yes, the current Skyline is the V35

2) No that isn't the V35 above, it's the GT-R Concept.

3)People say that the G35 is the current Skyline because it's exactly the same car, except that the G35 is sold through Infiniti (Nissans upmarket brand) and has different badges and maybe a few minor trim differences... thats it.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
