course it real .do you think they will keep updating the r35 for the next 15 years?

lachlanw im starting to think your right because people would get bored with the r35 eventually they already brought out the spec v the s-tune is in production so an r36 would be a crowd pleaser but it would probably look the same as the r35 just with some minor modifacations but what would the engine be because the 3.8 twin turbo v6 has already been used in the r35 how about something around the 4.0 litre range or a nissan v8 perhaps?

its obvious nissan is already working on the next model GTR, But production stage is pretty far off still.

There aiming for 2013 assuming the project doesn't get axed before hand. the first r35's were made at the end of 2007, so I can assume that a 5 year life span sounds about right for the GTR, other model gtr's have had a similar lifespan.

ditto i assume at some point there will be an r36, and a VF commodore, but absolutely nothing is known about what it could, should or would be. have not seen anything of substance anyway.

i thought nissan stopped producing skylines and started focusing on the z series...have you noticed how the r35 looks so much like the 350/370z?

your about 3 years late on that discussion lol

in all honesty, the chassis of the r35 gtr and the 370z look identical...kinda how the dc5 kept the dc2 chassis...i wouldnt be suprised if it were true though since the r35 gtr costs about $150,000.....how much is the r36 gonna cost....500k???i think nissan should just get back to making affordable skylines...

lol.

do you really think the r32 gtr was ~20k in 1989 when it first came out?

and likewise, do you really think the r32 gtst was ~10k in 1989 when it first came out?

ffs.

Affordable?

The R32 GTR was $110,000 ($AUD) brand new back in 1991, which taking inflation into account makes it about ~$175,000 today.

I think he was refering to the run of the mill Skylines - GT, GTt, 250GT, 300GT, 350GT etc.

I thought the V36 Skyline is still in production..... :s

Too hard to find and copy from my phone.... But I would like to register my face palm now at at least 50% of the responses here. R36, well either they will stop producing GTRs, or they will release an R36, because that is the way it works. R36 being crazy money, why? Based on that the R32 would have been about $10 brand new.. Cannot think of a single car that has increased in price by more that a couple of thousand with release of a new model. Affordable skylines... GTR isn't a Skyline, and for many people is affordable (wish I was one of them). Likewise if you look at pricing of V35/36 skylines, they are pretty good value. As for the 2 chassis looking the same, what chassis? How much time have you spent under each car comparing to say they look identical? The GTR has Alloy strut towers etc do the Zs have this? Going to have my Coffee, sorry for the rant,

yes you may be right about that one as ive noticed my gtr's front lights resemble the 350z's front lights but you cant really tell what nissans doing anymore they said the s15 silvia(240sx/200sx) was going to be a facelift of the s14 but when there sitting next to each other its a big difference.

yes but the s14 and s15 still share the same basic suspension setup, sr20 and are a 2 door coupe.. so all they did was change the "face" of it and make it look slightly different.. the overall basic shape is the same as it ever was.. same with the skylines (boxy) and the z's (swoopy), very few companies will ever redesign the basic layout of a car.. holdens have basically remained the same underneath from VB to VY with very few changes.

dont get me started on the whole "r35 gtr not a gtr coz its not a skyline thing.."

of these family lines.. the only one still going is the Z series.. so the r35 and r36?? will follow this layout.. i also believe this is due to the fact the skyline family was built from a need to be in homoglation racing. now though without any racing to enter in.. there is no need to carry on the family.. the Z shape was never a "race" car.. it was a sports car, aimed at mid life crisis people and sunday drives,

240z-260z-280z-z31-z32-350z-370z

s12-s14-s13-s14-s15... end

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
