From what I understand the situation was that they axed the skyline due to expense and the car dealers demanded a skyline badged car so they wacked one on these imposters and it stuck. The new GTR looks cool enough but can't wait for engine details, I'm sure it will be a world killer.

Is this the model that is known as a V35 infinity in the states?

Therefore would be badged as a Skyline?

or am I barking up the wrong tree?

modr33s2, you know the R34 and the V35's were in production at the same time right? 2001 was the transition year, and Nissan announced that it was to be the next skyline a while before that.

The skylines always traditionally been a passenger car with the occasional generation getting the GTR model. The move to a V35 sedan in japan was pretty well recieved, even by some hardcore enthusiasts, as it was the Skyline getting back to its grass roots. But, you can't please everyone.

I'm afraid I'm not impressed with the V35 it's just another Euro trash design that looks like a 300zx on Steroids. There's nothing inovative here just less individuality, it could be a toyota V35 and you'd never have a clue. <_< BORRRRRING.

Renault has taken the design soul out of nissan and focesd their effort on the SUV crap that is the latest and greatest.

One of the guys at work informed me that next week hopefully we will have some new version of the Skyline coming to us. Apparently it is waiting at the docks. If I heard right it will be the 2005-2006 model. If it comes through I will try to get some photos.

its bcoz the blue one is a coupe, and the other is the four door version.

I have warmed to the V35 350gt they look awesome with a bodykit but I still cant come to terms with the 4 door. I guess as others have stated its the euro and american influences that have changed the styling of the car. But hey if I was handed the keys to one I wouldnt say no!

its bcoz the blue one is a coupe, and the other is the four door version.

Agreed. Also the advertisment for the blue one states further down that it is a 2003 model, so that would also account for the difference in price.

Looks good with body kit, lowered suspension and rims added.

Cheers

Okay, I just thought I would clear this up....the four door one is not a 350GT. It is advertised as such but is only the standard V35 3.0L.

That is why it is so cheap.

The blue one is a true 350GT. We have one at work for sale for $50,000.

And a 260RS Stagea for $40,000....both complied.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
