different skyline

[leet45single]

I see this yesterday on the way home, I didn't recognised it really but on the back it had skyline gtr

[Brazil]

US Import...!

[leet45single]

so is that the us version of the r35 then?

[leet45single]

plus its still right hand drive

[Havard]

It's the 350GT version.

[leet45single]

It's the 350GT version.

thats the one it must of had 350gt not gtr on the little badge then.

sorry to put this filth on a supra forum but I never seen one of that type before

[Bailey.]

Pants springs to Mind, I imagine a nice cruiser though, becoming hard to get some parts for. Nissan uk can't get window regs for them anymore!

[Sakey]

Looks like this one Me and Martin (m-life) saw a few weeks back...

Aren't they part of the Infinity company, nissan's higher range cars like Honda's Acura cars in the states.

[Briggsy]

It's a g35 skyline not available with turbo just the 3.5 v6 pretty sure it's the 350 z engine they suffer really bad with body flex that bad that they are known to crack windows not good

[Tricky-Ricky]

LOL! thats what i replaced my Supra with, Nissan Skyline 350GT in Japan,

as the Americans don't like the Nissan badge, they called it the Infinity

G35 in the states, and aimed it at the luxury end of the market, just like Toyota's Lexus.

 

3.5 V6 276BHP and 262ftlb same engine chassis etc as the 350Z, just 9" longer with four seats and usable boot,

The V series replaced the Skyline range, and is up to the 370GT now, it actually shares a similar chassis and suspension as the R35, and the R35 engine was developed from the VQ35DE.

 

The lack of a big single turbo took some getting used to, but the amount of torque available for next to no RPM makes for a a pretty quick car.

Utter bollox! they are in fact very stiff, you can jack up a lot of cars i know of at one corner including S14, R32, R33, and have trouble opening and shutting the door, but i have no such problems with my V35

much like the Supra, pretty stiff.

[Rob_Mitchell]

i like what they have done on the orange one's front

[Jimmy James]

It's an Infiniti g35 or g37 we had them in Canada. Just a luxury version of 350z. Also come in all wheel drive g37x.

[safcdixon]

I like them, there's a fella down the road from me has one.

[sideexitsupra]

You can get the infinity version over here now.

[Bailey.]

They have a great spec and a good package for the cost they are, my mate sold one a few months ago, but as I said parts are an issue in the uk

[Tricky-Ricky]

Actually parts are not such an issue, all engine, suspension, exhaust, brakes, wheels are the same as the 350Z, and you can get parts for them quite easily from Belgium, where Nissan keep a large amount of dedicated parts for them,

the biggest problem is that the insurance companies will write them off for the most minor bit of body damage, which is why you can find quite a lot cheap, as salvage or repaired.

 

And yes the std spec is very good, with electrically adjustable everything, and a built in TV which can be made to work in the UK.

Really......go to driftworks search for polo g35 build do you really think someone would put that much bracing and extra steel in there as well a a full fia weld in cage for no reason ....seriously think not, granted the cage is in there for safety reasons due to regulations and it is a seriously built car with no expense spared....even if your not particually interested in what I have to say you should check it out the build is awesome

Well our local Nissan dealer said they no longer make the window regs, just passing on what mr Nissan said!!!!!

In the end the reg had to be stripped, which is a meant to be a sealed unit, and repaired.

[Josh]

INFINITI*!!

 

Not a fan really.

Really indeed, i actually spoke to Paul (polo) regarding chassis and body stiffness during his build, and asked him if he thought anything in particular needed more stiffening, and his reply was NO! they are pretty dam stiff as std!

 

Adding a roll cage is a safety measure, on a lot of other drift cars such as S14 and R32 and R33 the cage is really needed as the body's are rubbish!

 

I suggest you check your facts properly before spouting rubbish!

If i believed every Nissan dealer, parts or otherwise, about what he said, i would have given up by now, the window motors are still readily available just like lot of other parts, and they are in fact identical to the 350Z motors, and yes they can also be rebuilt and cleaned.

I don't spout hear say without checking my info first, so i suggest you do the same:rolleyes:

 

I am sorry oh holy one, didnt mean to push your buttons, only speaking from "experience" at our local dealer, the car was going out to the customer so had to be fixed asap.

 

I don't know why your getting flustered, it will never be a supra.

My apologies, i had mixed your comment up with the other know it all, and the last comment was meant for him, i will edit, and less of the holy one:p

 

And although its not a Supra it will still embarrass any N/A;)

 

Oh! and Nissan dealers are still crap:eyebrows:

[LolaBoost94]

I'll only agree with the stiffness of a 350Z because I had one for a couple years. One of the best car's I've had. "One of the best" not the overall best. I do miss her but happy I have the Supra
