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 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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
