It looks good but Nissan should have made it more unique. It reminds me of a 350Z/G35 with minor detailing differences. Oh and they should not put a V8 in it and stick with the traditional inline 6 turbo for the global market. If Cali has a problem with the turbo engines emissions then don't sell them there!

i still dont believe in that being the final product. nissan arent stupid and its thought they will use the VQ35 in the next GT-R.

I really like the part when they are saying why the NA market will be getting a V8 instad of the inline 6. Made me laugh. And I quote, "Another factor for opting for larger displacment instead of increase atmospheric pressure was potential concern about durability issues arrising because of maintainence ignorant American buyers." HAHA now thats funny.

so i will still be getting the 6? thats good, no doubt both versions will be imported here. a GT-R needs a 6 cylinder TT though

Those are still in 'concept' mode right?
I would love to put down payment on that, where do I sign up??? :)

how much coin are they gunna run?
Boostn
08-02-2003, 03:56 PM
I'd be expecting high $40's to low $50K, maybe even slightly more.. considering the 350Z and G35 are already in the mid 40K range and the Skyline/GT-R is considered a step up. It won't be cheap that's for sure!

Wow looks pretty good, I thought they were gonna make it look like that concept one.

It will probably never be at the same caliber as in Japan. Somehow we will get screwed or not get it at all. Or maybe they will just throw a truck engine in:nut:

at this point, the dealers know about as much as we do, possibly less, seeing as most car salesmen dont know jack about cars

Wow, what a shame, the R34 was actually a nice car with a distinctive look and muscular appearance, now it is a 350Z G35 offspring that induces a MAJOR yawn. Just cause it carries a skyline name it's "sweeeeet"? Lame, very lame.

Just cause it carries a skyline name it's "sweeeeet"? Lame, very lame. It still upholds its 'muscular appearance' IMO. Just because the G35 has been massed produced in NA where as the original Skyline models was not, the only thing that it has lost is its exclusivity which I believe has contributed to your changing attitudes on this extraordinary car.
Oh yah, I'd hit it!!!:hitit:

Man this'll be wicked. They gotta keep it Nissan (don't label it Infiniti) AND they have to give it the (J) spec look as well. Have to make it less curvy than the 350Z & G35c and give it an aggressive front like the R34.
:drool: :thumbsup:
thich
08-04-2003, 01:16 PM
from what info that was released about the new GTR, I recall that they will keep it labeled under Nissan.
and something to further supplement Max_boost's statement though: skylines WERE massed produced in Japan (if you can really call it mass produced)... GTRs were not.
it's just like how the G3 teg's were produced...lots of GSs, GSRs, and a smaller amount of TypeRs.
I don't think we'd be losing any exclusivity with it being released though.
It's set for a global release, but whether or not the automarket world considers Canada as part of that global release, we will have to wait and see. Last I remember, it's slated for a north american release.
and Zephyr's estimate for the pricing of this car seems consistent with what everyone else is toting.. this car will be quite expensive :P

there are many rumours around. to find out the TRUE information you need to go look for the people who actually do know, gtr.co.uk, sdu, gtroc etc. have people on there who really do know about the new GT-R. I doubt it will look like that, or have a V8. And it will be going to the states in some form or another.

its actually 85K Australian dollars. At 6.5 million yen, that equate to $75,895 canadian...
a bit more attainable than 85K us!

We wont be getting a GT-R. We already have a the Skyline labelled as a G35.

"Dear Winston:
Thank you for contacting Nissan North America, Inc. and allowing us the
opportunity to be of assistance.
Nissan is not marketing the GT-R in the United States. Basically, this
vehicle needs a great deal of modifications to pass U.S. industry
specifications on safety and emission standards. While there is no doubt
that this vehicle do attract a lot of attention and command a high demand in
the market, as is apparent in the markets in other parts of the world, the
cost of modifications far exceed the profit possibilities of introducing the
same vehicle here in the U.S.
Please contact your nearest Nissan dealer or contact a gray market retailer
nearest you. For additional information on the importation of gray market
vehicles, you can contact either the EPA or NHTSA:
EPA (202) 382-2504
NHTSA (202) 366-9550
Nissan does not recommend importing gray market vehicles due to time and
cost factors.
If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to email me.
Sincerely,
Liana
National Consumer Affairs"

They disassociated the Skyline name from the GT-R altogether.... The Skyline is just the G35 here. The GT-R is different.

I still like the previous gens, I saw got to see one in grand caymen last week, the dood thought I was nuts when I was drooling over it, it was his plain daily driver car. I still like the square look as opposed to all the curves, and yea dealers don't know shat.

:werd: , i saw an r34 for the first time a few weeks ago and it was stunning. It looks huge in pictures but in person it's pretty small.

AAARGHH!!
they made it look all scatty. My beautiful skylines lost its circle in shape headlights and gone all 350Z looking. Nissan should be ashamed with this latest incarnation, and if they go NA whats next well se 5 litre V8 Sentra's next. Displacement is boring run those Atmospheres.

Looks like Porsche 911 meets Nissan 350z.
I guess things are getting more americanized, following the styling of the 350z, which was done by.. americans.

All pictures on this thread is photochoped.
All we know for sure:
- It'll share same platform as Z and G35
- It'll have a VQ probably TT.
- It'll have AWD standard
That's it, nobody know what it looks like and how much it cost. So just let this thread die!
