why isnt it a skyline??? i dont understand i thought all the gtr models are part of the skyline and isnt all the R series skylines why isnt it skyline is it cause new engine no more rb??

from the C10 in the 60's up until the R34, the GT-R was the race homologation model of the Skyline family of sedans. Lesser models of the GT-R was sold in some models as GTSt's, GT-t's etc.

The new GT-R isn't based on a sedan platform like the older models, so the R35 is a seperate entity to the V35/V36 and V37's which carried the Skyline name on from the R34.

yes u are correct, but a bit off the track....

actually, the KPGC10 (1973) was the last GT-R untill the BNR32 (1989)... there haven't been any GT-R's in between due to the great shame beared by nissan coz of the 4th generation skyline - the C110 (from 1974)

and the new one is a GT-R not skyline... skyline is now sold as the infinity G35-37 shape... it is no longer a sports car...

BTW thank God the new GT-R didn't have the VQ engine.... for sure the VQ suck, and so does the 350Z

[funkymonkey81au]

some of us don't live in the US, so we still get them as skylines, not Infinity's ;)

and the C110 had a GT-R model as well (KPGC110, or a Skyline HT 2000GT-R)... they used the same engines as the KPGC10's with the C110 coupe body. It was only after that they stopped with the GT-R's but they had the 2000GT in the C210's, the RS-X for the R30 and GTS-R for the R31, which is virtually the GT-R equivalent in those models.

Come say hi on skylinesaustralia . com

They're not called Skyline anywhere mate. The guy above you is right. Skyline name has been dropped with regards to the GTR

[ProfessionalAsshole1]

there not called skylines at all anymore, just GTR

[avigil600]

Will this fit in a 240sx, 350z, or 370z??

@TheGreenSmoke

that wouldnt be fair.....

i mean just look at what nissan did with a v6.... A V6!!!!!

now imagine what it could do with a v8.....its just not fair for other car companies....haha

[brazzr]

@TheGreenSmoke then they shoulda used a w16

[TheGreenSmoke]

they should have used a V8 engine. there is no replacement for displacement and technology can only take you so far.

[patkays]

whats happening here? please tell me. is this good or bad?

[infectrus]

@BNR32001939 VQ's suck? Really? And engine that has over 10 best awards. They may not like boost on stock internals, but its a strong NA motor. And im sure the VR38 isnt far off in basic design.

[shermanlee85856]

@shogun7907 might as well trade in ur 350z and change to a 370z

[shermanlee85856]

Any noobs here who says the gtr belongs to the skyline is a idiot, the gtr belongs to a indvidual class now as a legend to the nissan, plus the fair lady 370 is not nearly classified as a true skyline any more, soon there will be another range and the sy line and fairlady z will belong to the elites

[justbrewin]

could you not just get a bellhousing made to suit the vr38dett moter and run the 350z box and keep it rwd

[shogun7907]

how quick was that 350z? probably had to hit the firewall back for that monsterous motor.
