well the title says it all

now i realise that it may have already been released and maybe this is stupid....but i saw this in my local carpark....and couldnt believe my eyes.........now i do keep them open all the time...and this is the first IVE seen on the road

pictures are proof....off my trusty LG U8120 camera phone

anyway......hmm......similar near identical to the Infinity G35.......now....question...is the G35 the new Skyline lol...comparing pics now they do look identical

anyway

fitted with a reversing camera on its ass end.......looked sorta out of place. (surely they wouldnt put such a big piece of thing for a key hole would they????)....(then again...so did this car in the middle of Loganholme)

but damn...yeh boys.....i saw it lol

(edit: yes that is my celica in the last pic.....not that anyone cares put next to this beast but still lol....i jus wanted to cheer cuz it looks like mines lower lol.......(ok fine so maybe its jus coz my suspension is shot))

edit 2: o...and check out the side mirrors!!!!....u cant tell...but the face of the mirror is on like a 30degree angle to the door window..........they must fold in when the car is turned off........hell...auto aerials, why not auto mirrors (excuse me if this sounds dumb...but i've never seen it before)...and i dont see how these would be useful in this position normally so this is my own assumtion

yept thats the current model one. been waiting ages to work on one of these.

Nice, whats the price tag on one of these? Alot of people think they are ugly, I think they are bloody awesome.

nah mate.....seein it in the flesh looks smooth as hey!.....smooth stylish lines....but definately holds a mean chunky prescence about it

duno.....i'd stab at what.....60 grand?

edit: dont bother lookin on the nissan site...i just checked...couldnt see anything about no skyline....

The 350Z does it alot of subarus do it some lancers - the mirror thing that is.

I reacon they look cool but not really a skyline looking car they dont look agressive enough. look a bit like a cross between 350Z and a benz

And the 34 skylines had electric mirror fold-in too. Its nothing new.

dunno....from the third pic i have up there...that sorta angle they look mean...but i guess we have to wait to hear how they go hey

lol..like i said...my bad for mirrors.....

60k? Was expecting a tad more than that. Perhaps I should go research what they actually are, lol... meh, olympics back on... All I know is I want one, guess it is a bit early for them to be selling 2nd hand aye...

Dont bother talking to Nissan about them, Its import only..

Yep, they are going for between 50 and 60k .. all with less than 20,000 KM on generally.

Mostly 03 models..

Havent seen any of the 'pov pack' versions yet .. only the GT model, with Brembo brakes, leather, dual zone climate ect..

Very nice cars.

Lots of imports do it

Reminds me of a Hyundai Tiburon(SP)

so true

not a real skyline neway, from what i have heard it doesnt even have an RB series engine in it.

not my cup of tea....

just doesnt have the skyline grooves.

yeah this car has just started to be imported.. maybe since mi last year, but now there are a few out.

The one shown is the skyline coupe or something and there is a sedan model.
i think there called th v35 or something.

The body is practically a 350z with changes to front and rear bumpers, cause theres a site which compares the two cars side on, and there match near perfectly. So its based off the 350z platform.

the new GTR will be something like the one u see here but with different lights and the infamous twin circle lights.

Yes unfortunately it doesn't look like the orginal GT-Rs which were straight and box and had those fat guards, but it'll be a monster of a car.... supposedly 3.6- 3.8 Twin turbo. hehehehe

philz

Looks too much like a Lexus.

There are a few for sale on Parramatta Road.

I've had an eye open for these cars for a while... actually if i had 40k to spend on a car this would be the one.

Heres some more info from various sites

And whats wrong with that?

The camera on the back looks poxy. Lamborghini Murceilago/Gallardo side mirrors rotate up 90 degress.

Rather spend my Money on a Honda Euro, or an E39 Bimmer

grrr....dont go calling a nissan a friggen hoonday....what an insult.......that car ripped styling pieces from a dozen different things......and still sits about 4 inches too high on the road

lol.....whats wrong with it lookin a bit like a lexus.....

hmm.....the accords are nice but i duno......the skyline still has the sporting name to it....the euro...is jus that lol.....

will be interesting to see the gtr version.......ya right...it jus isnt a skyline without the round taillights

have to admit though....i did think it would have more muscular lines..........hmph......a kit'll fix that easy......though a little disappointing

anyway....i'd still have one if u gave it to me lol

from wat i have heard there isnt goin to be a gtr version. least of all not the variety we all love and cherish

doesnt look like a skyline, wheres the taillights that u can identify at night and in daytime for that matter. Dont like it. last years model is best so far.

I prefer the 91'-94' GTR models.

personally im a fan of a cheaply modded engine. can u say 89 R31 silhouette with RB30DET!!!

Lol, the only reason those are my favourite years as those are all I'll be able to afford in 6months-1yr time. Lol.

yeah thats the v35 model...

its basically the same engine...

neo6 - basically the same as the RB, different cams n few other things afaik, but more or less the same (as ive heard anyways, havnt seen one in person so cant confirm that) - just got a cover hiding the beast within

There seems to be alot of "I've heard this" and "i've heard that".


The RB series engine is FINISHED, As is the SR. No more RB20/25/26 or 30. No more SR20.

Both engines have seen a life of nearly 20 years, But the motors original design still date back to the early 80s.. Emission laws and the like have meant Nissan engineers have had to rethink the way they do things.


The motor in the V35 350GT/G35 Infiniti (the car pictured in this thread) is the VQ35DE. 3.5 Liter, NA V6. So far its found itself at home in:

* 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder
* 2002-2004 Nissan Maxima
* 2003-2005 Infiniti G35
* Infiniti QX4
* 2002-2004 Infiniti I30
* 2003-2005 Nissan 350Z
* 2002- Nissan Skyline (V35)
* Nissan Stagea (M35)
* 2003- Nissan Teana
* 2003- Nissan Presage
* 2004- Nissan Fuga
* 2000- Nissan Elgrand
* 2002- Nissan Quest
* 2004- Nissan Murano (Z50)
* 2002 - 2006 Nissan Altima
* Infiniti FX35
* Infiniti I35
* Renault Espace
* Renault Vel Satis



So yes, Its in everything from Sports coupe's like the 350Z and Skyline/Infiniti to 4wd's to SUV's like the FX35 to people movers like the Elgrand and the Renault Espace and even your Nanna's Maxima..

thats wat i was thinking. the VQ. for the love of me i couldnt remember it. yer completely different to the RB's.

ReMiX can you stop stalking my nanna
im sick of changing her car all the time

Hey!! She's my Nanna too!

thats the new skyline?
pfft...
end of an era i say... it looks terrible... something a chartered accountant/doctors wife is gonna buy...

i feel sick now...

i hope that didnt offend anyone but it looks like a trout

Your all drama queens.

Dont like it? Dont buy it.

r32s had the folding mirrors.

thats not the new skyline. its the infiniti v35.

new skyline is out 2007. supposedly
