What Do You Think Of The V35 Skyline Coupe?

[Rezz]

I'm going to purchase a V35 Skyline Coupe in the new year sometime, and I just wanted to know what SAU thought of it?

I realize you guys probably haven't seen one in the flesh, let alone drive one, but what do you think of it overall? A step in the right direction?

I used to loathe this car, but since I made a few contacts in the car auction industry here (therefore opening up oportunities to seriously consider a V35), I really had good look at them, even having a ride in one yesterday. I didn't drive it myself (but thats cool because it was an AT anyway...) but from the passenger seat I could really see what Nissan are trying to do with the Skyline now... High Performance All-round GT perfection!!! Seriously, the ride, handling, seamless acceleration, and the fit/finish of the car is nothing short of awesome. It felt like a "big" coupe, but not in a bad way like some people say of the R33.

The V35 is quality all the way. The guy who was driving took it to redline once or twice, and only stomped on the brakes once, but from that I can only conclude that this car is like the R34s GT-Ts big brother. Seriously.

I WANT TO MODIFY ONE.

I think it's very attractive, sporty and i hear it's powerful, still dosen't beat the old skyline designs. but i like it.!

No stove lights = no

i dont mind it needs some body work (a nice bodykit) or something.

No stove lights = no

I wouldn't exactly say "no" hotplate lights...

I love them. I saw a heap of them in the US as the Infiniti G35. They look a lot better as the US spec too.

I think its not bad, it looks a bit funny but probably in real life its looks something similar in style to the 350z (Which is awesome). but its really hard to judge without seeing up close.

i have seen them many a times

they are very nice cars

[Rezz]

I think it'll grow on you RedLine... just give it time...

[knore]

its definately looks like a 350z side on, a Bluebird front on, and rear? kinda looks like that old r35 prototype pictures they released

i dont like it, but its not bad either

Not a worthy successor to the R34 if you ask me

2007 people.

yah i guess so...the nissan maxima the new one that just came out now (http://www.nissan.com.au/) has a similar front...after looking at it about 3 times i didnt really mind it. Also Things look better in real life. Cheers Rob

That black one slammed on the Te37's isn't bad.

I think Nissan are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Renault and this move towards N/A cars with their rounded styling isn't exactly to my liking.

I think the family resemblance thing is going too far. It's too bad a leap for me really.

You can sorta see the progression from 32-33-34 but just like how the 32 was something quantum over the 31 maybe given time, we'll see the 35 in the same way.

Just not right now in 2003!
