I think its the proto for the v36 skyline

it looks good, but keep in mind it is only a proto. It doesn't have the feel of a skyline more a 350

I miss the circle tail-lights :ermm:

i think the era of the cars we are all used to and love have passed, i guess we can't live in the 90's foreva :cheers:

would it be available in a turbo version??

They sell these in korea, dont they? cept they call them a Hyundai Tiburon....

Eeerrrrrrm NO. You are thinking of the Tiburon made by Hyundai, nothing to do with Nissan :)

I like the G35 though, nice car. Yeah it's pretty much a replacement for the GTS-T.

One thing we all need to admit is the Skyline as we know it is dead. Welcome to Euro market....

it aint the same anymore - i read that the designer said the new gtr is not really affiliated with the skyline name cos its entirely different.....(i.e the 32-34 gtrs had something in common with the gts's/gt's and the gtsts/gtt's - eg the lights or some of the looks).

Either way, adz is right, the skyline is dead - but perhaps the new model could bring out a new luv affair with the gtr name.

doesnt look bad, but doesnt look like a skyline...same with the GTR Proto...looks sexy n all, but doesnt make me think skyline....more 350z

dont you mean the 350z reminds you of the Skyline or G35 seeing as that came first and not the other way around?

they just have such an aggressive look to them, and look like a more purpose built sports/ race car. I personally would've bought one, but there just a little on the old side.. kinda wanted something newer, still think the 33 looks awesome or i wouldn't have got one lol

Too bad history doest repeat it self in the automotive industry. At least our generation can live to tell the tales of the best of the skyline series. ;) Anyways if nissan really plans on making a gts, i'd doubt they call it a GTS, more like a plain skyline, as it has nothing to do with the GTR, nothing in common. If we prey enough nissan might through in a turbo, but best, a In-line 6, the true JDM style, as the V6 are already pretty much more powerful than RB25 series. VQ30.

Long live the In-line 6!!!!!!!

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
