There are quite a few Americans that like the winding road, circuit racing, and auto cross.

Unfortunately, with NASCAR their biggest motorsport series (like our V8 Supercars) so people assume that's their thing.

Just like I don't give a flying f**k about two mechanically identical cars with fake taxi bodies, a lot of Americans don't give a stuff about NASCAR.

Anyway, here's Clarkson's review of the current Z06. And here's Tiff's.

Both are guys that don't have much time for American motorvated sofas, and they both love the circuit behavior of the Z06.

yep ill take one!! sign me up, i think its a hot thing, just hope its got some good technology under the skin. hopefully the french people will still let the japanese people to build the ultimate supercar.

Not to open a can of worms, but...

The Chevy Z06 is a massive amount of car for the money. Something like $60,000 for a car that compete with cars costing twice as much. Even though it's GM, will likely fall apart in about 5 years, and every douchebag down the street will own one, they're still a force to be reckoned with. It should be interesting to see how these two cars match up--Best Motoring or Top Gear, are you listening?

The G35 is NOT a Skyline. The fact that some idiot at Nissan decided to call it a Skyline to please you couch-racers is also irrelevant. The G35 bears absolutely no resemblance to the GTR 32, 33, or 34 in any shape way or form. Some idiot at Nissan thought to play off the name and some of you gullible souls probably bought it so you could brag that you haved a Skyline. Well sorry you do not. You have a nice car, but its not a Skyline.

someone should break it to the poor boy that the R30 was a bastard child of the C210 Skyline... which then evolved to the R31 and consequently R32.

The Infiniti G35 is a "Skyline" since its identical to the JDM Skyline of the current era. Its a logical "clean sheet" continuation of the R3x series.

Otherwise, someone ask the poor boy if the R32-R34s were "playing off the" name since they have no resemblance to the original KPGC10 :(

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
