*vomit* looks like a bloated Hyundai S-coupe, I like the interior though.

LOL, I admit I hated V35 look when it first come out. the new styling is just not to everyone's taste.

But after a while it could grow on you depending which direction your taste adapted through times.

Carlos Goshn to Nissan is similar to Chris Bangle to BMW... even till now BMW enthusiasts are divided between loving and hating Bangle's new design lines...

'Cept Bangle is a designer, Ghosn is the CEO/Businessman.

I know that. I didn't say Goshn draw the shapes / design himself.

but if Goshn didn't become Nissan's boss, I believe the design direction of current Nissan models will be different than what we have now....

True, although Ghosn did pull Nissan out of the sh*tfight it was in, so they're lucky they still have current nissan models to sell

I dont know where you getting the Hyundai S- coupe looks from ? It looks nothing like a Hyundai S-coupe its a class above the Hyundai sports coupe.

LOL at least 2 classes above, give it a bit more credit ;)

i was lucky enough to drive one the other day with trade plates, GT370 S (non leather) otherwise same as the GT370SP , was awesome to drive, auto, paddle shift gears and plenty of power. Reverse camera worked but only the am band seemed to pick up signal, never tried the sat nav but no doubt wont work here as it stands and cant be ripped out as it a integral part of the dash layout.Rear seating was good as long as your under 5'.11" . Finish was outstanding except for the odd chrome strip on the rear.Engine was push start and finger push on locking and unlocking on doors (outside) the car whilst you had the remote key in your pocket. Will be a 47-50k landed comp. motor vehicle if you import yourself.

The Lexus IS250 is superb value - my parents picked up one of the limited edition X models recently and it is fully kitted out.

Personally, I would still take a 370GT coupe over the Lexus, but if I was in the 4-door market it would be a harder decision. Maybe if we got the IS350 I would change my mind, but it would cost heaps more.

thats easily fixed :dry: I know that there may be one over here in a bit. if so I'm probably going to end up with it for a bit.

So how far away are we talking here until available, as in even the import yards have a few shitters on display aswell on their lot.

It's either a v36 if it's not too far away, or buying a 260z with an rb motor conversion. Big difference i know :P

You cant compare a Lexus IS250 or BMW (exceptM's) to a Skyline. The Skyline has a more sophisticated and efficient 3.7Litre engine and out handles both of them. (EASILY)The Skyline weighs around 1.55 tonne- you can add at least 150kg to both the others, even though they smaller cars. The Skyline looks like a sports GT the others are at best luxury cruisers. (very common looking)

Not too sure about the 370GTs bootlid but somehow the back looks a bit more proportioned than my 05 350GT.

As for the Interior- I think it is streets ahead of anything else anywhere near its price range. The design philosophy of the aluminum inserts are based on rice paper blending brushed aluminium look which offset the dark interior looks sensational.

There is NO space in a IS250 lexus and little more in a 3 series.AND these are 4 Doors !!

THe 370 will be in the 45-48K by mid next year. I wouldn't look twice at BMW or Lexus or anything for twice the amount they ask for !! Sorry boys go the BMW or TOYOTA or f___ HYUNDAI or anything else if that takes your fancy NOT the Skyline page..

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
