V35 Skyline

[The Dan]

That actually looks like one horny car.

Ok I have changed my mind.....you can all go home now, thankyou. lol

[33GTT]

From what I understand the situation was that they axed the skyline due to expense and the car dealers demanded a skyline badged car so they wacked one on these imposters and it stuck. The new GTR looks cool enough but can't wait for engine details, I'm sure it will be a world killer.

Is this the model that is known as a V35 infinity in the states?

Therefore would be badged as a Skyline?

or am I barking up the wrong tree?

modr33s2, you know the R34 and the V35's were in production at the same time right? 2001 was the transition year, and Nissan announced that it was to be the next skyline a while before that.

The skylines always traditionally been a passenger car with the occasional generation getting the GTR model. The move to a V35 sedan in japan was pretty well recieved, even by some hardcore enthusiasts, as it was the Skyline getting back to its grass roots. But, you can't please everyone.

I'm pretty sure my old man fixed that car when it came here a few years back. I wasn't really impressed with it back then and still not today really... Although i wouldnt complain if i was given one.

I'm afraid I'm not impressed with the V35 it's just another Euro trash design that looks like a 300zx on Steroids. There's nothing inovative here just less individuality, it could be a toyota V35 and you'd never have a clue. <_< BORRRRRING.

Renault has taken the design soul out of nissan and focesd their effort on the SUV crap that is the latest and greatest.

I was a bit skeptical at first (then nex hit me ) i think standard they look average like most skylines, but done up right they can look quite tuff

[The Dan]

One of the guys at work informed me that next week hopefully we will have some new version of the Skyline coming to us. Apparently it is waiting at the docks. If I heard right it will be the 2005-2006 model. If it comes through I will try to get some photos.

[akeenan]

pfft they are old news... see them every day of my life about 10 times over. stock ones look loke family cars but the ones which have had some money spent on them cosmetically look good

[The Dan]

Not all of us are in Japan so we think of it as a priviledge to see something that is rare over here.

Major price difference in these 2 all because of the km's on the clock.

its bcoz the blue one is a coupe, and the other is the four door version.

[smurf80]

I have warmed to the V35 350gt they look awesome with a bodykit but I still cant come to terms with the 4 door. I guess as others have stated its the euro and american influences that have changed the styling of the car. But hey if I was handed the keys to one I wouldnt say no!

[Mr-Toy33]

but still look at it based on the km's each of them are done.

[SMR33]

Agreed. Also the advertisment for the blue one states further down that it is a 2003 model, so that would also account for the difference in price.

Looks good with body kit, lowered suspension and rims added.

Cheers

I think stock standard like most cars, they look average, but put a nice set of rims, and a decent kit and they can look quite good.

[Beauie]

There is a 2 door version that look alot better!

and apparently beats the 350z

[The Dan]

Okay, I just thought I would clear this up....the four door one is not a 350GT. It is advertised as such but is only the standard V35 3.0L.

That is why it is so cheap.

The blue one is a true 350GT. We have one at work for sale for $50,000.

And a 260RS Stagea for $40,000....both complied.
